question concerning 860 temps

I bought a TRUE 120 Rev C and I'd like to make sure I have it installed correctly. My temps honestly seem a bit high, especially looking at the Hard article that was up a few weeks ago showing load temps in the 30s...

I overclocked my 860 to 3.5 Ghz (I think...see below). Here are screenshots from Real Temp & CPUZ after running at 50% load for 15 min:

When configuring the OC in my bios (ASUS P7P55D) I noticed that it was letting me set the multiplier up to 22. The 860 should only have up to a 21 multi. The POST screen says she's running at 3.3 but as you can see, CPUZ says 22 multi and 3.5. Which is correct?

Thanks.
 
Your VCORE looks to be on the high side of things.. Was that the lowest VCORE setting that you were able to achieve on that overclock? Here is a screen shot of mine:

Even in my house with my heater turned on at 79 degrees (but it's usually a degree or two warmer in my room.. thanks to my wife and her cold natured self.. lol). At 4ghz, I am STILL good after a full hour of stress testing..

Yeah I noticed after I posted that my vcore was high. It was set on auto, so I lowered it to 1.175. Temps are now around 50-52 C at 100% load. Is this more reasonable?

I will try for a more aggressive overclock tomorrow.

Oh yes.. much much better. Good job.. Bravo!
 
Another question if you don't mind, what is the stock voltage for an 860? Anandtech is saying 1.24 vcore is stock in their review article. If that's the case, I'm actually undervolting... My goal is to not increase voltage until it's absolutely necessary.
