I think we all know where you're headed joey thus my suggestion not to skimp on the temp reader. Having accurate temps is a must on the bloomfield and soon to be gulftown chips.

Setting requirements change so quickly between temperatures that you wanna really nail down your temp/voltage zone. Having a temp reader that changes its mind between bench sessions on what the real temp is won't cut it and you'll be bangin you're head everytime . Not to mention the wasted DICE/LN2 or electric bill.

Don't get me wrong, a good dose of cold and some vcore will get you into the 5ghz area but once you start pushing the limits of you're chip, more fine tuning temp/voltages will be required.

Now, if you look into the crystal ball, you'll see a future that includes several pots that need temp readings and attention
