so maybe that's why it seemed my temps were different sometimes with almost the same BIOS setting.... I did get the best result with standard when I think about it (had an X58A-UD3R before)

Did you buy the chip new or used?

Is it lapped? I lapped mine, and on a crap dell air cooler, @ 3.8 under load it sits between 70 and 80, depending on room temp.

Try lapping it.

thats not a viable option till everything else is in check.
