Well since OCT 2012...I've left the Vcore on Auto....today I turned it down to 1.3V...and then ran P95 for 30+ mins ....CPU temp rose only 13C...not too bad. Tomorrow or tonight I'll try a lower Vcore. Nothing is OC'd atm, I want to find the lowest stable Vcore, before I start OCing. In the pic you can see the Idle and the 100% load temps. P95 ran 1024K FFT's the 8K FFT's.

According to the reviews I've been reading...I'll have to get this 4170 to 5Ghz to be equivalent to a 955 at 4.5Ghz. Also note that this 4170's Vcore doesn't STAY locked at the Vcore set in the BIOS :/
