Here's my results. All at stock though. None of this "overclocking" you youngsters are into these days.

Even if it was real, (Probably is) LinX doesn't mean anything.
It's like SB without AVX, it's likely not running the CPU at all.

EDIT : The evidence is in the TPIM. 54c at 4.5GHZ? Yeah right

if its true, going by that pic the core temp sensors are just same on phenom II

Nothing as such, but if I were faking such a shot I'd use an nv GPU and leave the control centre icon in view, Ya know, for lulz

Possibly a little worse from what I've heard, think original Thubans with crazy single digits to teens

From that feed, AMD confirm AMD FX CPU available in weeks time.

I am holding out for official trusted reviews but atm looking like sandybridge still best option.
