Yeah pretty hot. But linpack really gets your chip hotter than anything else, often 10-15 hotter than Prime95 or Orthos. It's now at 4.4GHz 1.344v and seems good. I'm going to do a run of IntelBurnTest then let Orthos run for a while and see what happens.

Tonight I'll also re-seat the block and reapply the TIM as I might have put too much on last night.

And the batch on my first one was Q820A596, from which I've seen good results from other people, which makes me think I just got a bad chip.

This new one is Q820A597 and it's a good one. A little warm, but I think with a re-seat it should be good to go.
