Okay...
I flashed to the R09 beta BIOS release (recent)... and my temps are reporting a bit better.
I just did a minor OC to 3.6ghz, using a Tuniq and the thermal paste that came with it... under load it's showing up as 70C (both HWmonitor and CoreTemp), but under uGuru says 52/53...
Not sure which is correct, could be any at this point cause I think the stock Tuniq TX-1 paste is garbage, however, 52 degrees under load at 3.6ghz for this chip regardless of paste doesn't sound far off other people's temps.
One problem I can possibly see, is check your uGuru EQ or whatever's fan control thing, the load CPU temp could be too high and the fans might not spin up fully under load enough to cool your system.
But it's no where near as bad as B14.
Don't flash within windows, need to use floppy or the old USB method.
