thats my problem! I havent changed the voltage at all from stock! it says 1.320 volts in the bios. But under full load the VID changes from 0.9v idle to 1.38 under full load. How do I stop it from increasing the volts so much?

ok maybe I will play about with the dvid. I'll try setting it to -0.05 and see if it has any effect on the temps, thanks. Do you have pll overvoltage or load line calibration enabled when you do this? As regards to cooler size, i'm not sure I can fit a bigger one in my case. I might have to...
