However, the stuff I'm using definitely leaves behind at least some residue/traces of tim (very faint, but it's still there) so I'll try to find some.

Drin, that's weird. Isopropyl alcohol works pretty well for me when removing Arctic Silver TIM. Perhaps the removal of OCZ Freeze requires a different approach. Maybe a user with that TIM can post some pointers.

In any case, good luck finding some new ram

Finally ran a Prime95:

* Phenom II 940 BE
* CACVC AC 0852 GPCW
* Revision RB-C2
* 201.4x17 (3.423.4GHz)
* 1.344
* Stock
* Northbridge clock 1812.5MHz
* 1812.5MHz
* Gigabyte MA-770-UD3 (Rev. 1.0)
* F5
* Xigmatek HDT-S1283
* Vista Ultimate SP2
* I believe that the CORE sensor is off and hold it accountable as +4 to the CPU temp or basically a -6C from the actual core temp shown. I actually have belief that the CPU temps are the reflection of the core temps.

Xeno, i have new max validation for your database
Finnaly :-D

AIR CM master Hyper 212+close PCcase!
vcore 1.475 in BIOS
room temperatur: about 26°C
clock: 4220MHz
series: 955 BE 0911 EPMW

thx for update database

Pez, looking good buddy. The enjoy seeing the Vcore below 1.4volts

What made you come up with the core sensor being off? If it's -6 then you should be around 50'ish or so full load which is not bad. I'm sure the Xigmatek 1283 helps out pretty well. What was the room ambient temperature during your testing?

FlanK3r, wow man that is crazy...

Excellent job! Should I ask if it's stable?

Good luck

, no, not is stable...its only for validation and this setings was problems with 1M superpi

Most Phenom II ss's I see, the core and CPU delta is usually within 1-2C and at most 4C. The past couple of weeks, I've went through a cooler that's retention clip lost it's tightness, a top down cooler which is horrible as my case is oriented for a tower cooler, a stock Phenom II cooler, and now the Xiggy. The core temps do prove to be lower on the Xiggy, but the CPU temps that I get match up more with what peoples normal core temps are. That and the fact that my airflow is next to perfect for the cooler I have. I say all that because no matter which cooler was mounted, each has a 12C delta between the CPU and Core temp supposedly. I know the Xiggy is a great cooler, and I know that my AS5 still needs to settle, but I'm determined that the core temp is the CPU temp (TMPIN1 in HWMonitor).

Pez, aren't the two different though? One is for the actual "core" in the processor and the other (cpu temp) is at the IHS level. At least that is how I understand it.

Yeah, I know...supposedly way different, but there's no way 4 different coolers with 3 different ways of cooling would yield the same delta b/c the CPU and core. That's why I'm thinking the actual core temp should actually be like +2-4C from the CPU temp.

Why would that not be possible? Is it unreasonable to say that heat dissipates from the CPU to the IHS at a fixed rate regardless of the cooler? I think you should get ahold of a temperature diode or an infrared thermometer and try the side of the IHS for temperature. Based on that, we can infer where your "CPU" and "Core" temps are in theory.

Because I've noticed between the 3 types of CPU's that certain ones clamp tighter which should in no doubt make the core temp decrease.
