I don't know about contact, I haven't taken it off to check yet. But the clamp needs work. I can turn it with one fingervocch said:I see what you mean and if your getting good temps by all means leave it be...but i were'nt and now can't fault mine so i don't regret lapping my Heasink.
Edit: According to the review of the TRUE here's a quote ( the Ultra-120 Extreme's base is bowed, we could have ~2C better temps if only we'd lap the base of our Ultra-120 Extreme ) also it adds if you want more pressure is to use ( "extra material" between the bracket and the heatsink's base-top and we saw a 2-4C drop in our CPU's temperatures ) so that could be worth a try.
Here's a thread on the subject.http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=145499
This isnt running much hotter than my E6600/Tuniq, though I'm sure a little tinkering will get it down a bit.

The min/max thermometer has 20-22C, getting cooler now. I'm surprised its that cool at all, the fan attached is very quite, Scythe S-Flex. I could easily tolerate another in push-pull. Tbh I dont take a lot of notice of the absolute values, dont trust them. The delta is 35-40C to the TCC, good enough. Im sure it can be improved though, the design could channel air a little better.w3bbo said:

No I don't think so, looks pretty even. From the first mount, using MX-1 (kinda lumpy stuff) line down the middle. Put on a little too much to see the contact. It made it to the edges evenly. I've noticed it on a few now, seems quite common. We'll see a few more results very soon Id sayw3bbo said:

I'v got the same, there's about a 5c difference between the first two cores & the second two. CPU & HSF are lapped.w3bbo said:

Maybe windows vista is only optimised for dual core, occupying cores 0 and 1? Extra load on these cores, giving more heat.

Nah all cores 100% prime, I'd say its more likely the two core pairs have slightly different solder bonding to the IHS.melbourne720 said:Maybe windows vista is only optimised for dual core, occupying cores 0 and 1?

Yeah, that sounds much more likely

The assumption there is that your Bios temp is correct...
Bios temps don't mean anything unfortunately, my P5B reads 16c in the Bios, Coretemp 35c...
Coretemp reads from the thermal resistor in the chip itself, so is the most accurate.
It would be nice to see what Coretemp says?
Are the temps in your post no.288 idle or load, if idle, they may be there or thereabouts.

My B3 has got up to 78c @ 3.44GHz/1.448v using an Ultra 120 Extreme with a Zalman 120mm fan, with a room temp of 22-23c, and that wasn't even Prime stable (1 thread got an error after a couple of hours, the others ran for 9+ ok).
Currently at 40/40/37/36 idle on the desktop.
I've tried reseating the HS, but that doesnt seem to have made a noticable difference
My B3 X3210 idles at 45-50 depending upon weather/room temp.
loads at 68-68-70-70 @ 3.3ghz 1.45v under quiet water
Don't really want the temps to go higher than that, it seems that the new G0's are much better for both idle and load temps even with high volts.
Can do 3.7 but load temps are well into the 70's, so that's reserved for benching.

78c @ 3.44 with air only doesn't seem bad for a B3 from what I've read !!
