Hmmm... even in my case BIOS temps dropped handsomely after update. No change in Windows temps though.

yup, I have Asus P8Z68 Deluxe as well. My BIOS temperature readings were way too high until I updated. CPU Overheating error was common. More the time I used to spend in BIOS, the more it increased and approached 60-70. Windows temp readings were fine though.

^^Have you applied the TIM properly?? Which method you have used to apply??
Note:Before applying the thermal paste you should clean the surface of professor with Isotope Alcohol.

Yes, i think i have applied the TIM properly. I used the rice grain method.
And yes, i had also cleaned the surface of both processor and HSF with Isopropyl Alcohol.

You might want to update your motherboard's BIOS.

Ok, updating now.
BTW should i update to the latest one only or all the newer versions that have come out after my previous update!

Go to a Chemist and ask for Surgical Alcohol. :) Dip cotton or a thick cloth slightly and clean using it.

Already cleaned it properly. But still temps in CoreTemp are the same i.e 45c-55c or even more.

Another thing that concerns me is that in my rig Motherboard temps is around 37c and CPU temp around 46c or more. But my bro who is having i5-2400 + P8H61-M LE gets almost the reverse. His motherboard temp is around 45c and CPU temp around 38c-41c.
Why is this so :|??

I think this guide is even good for AMD cpus and most of the coolers mentioned here is also compatible with AMD cpus and the stock coolers usually comes with AMD CPUs is enough to handle the cpu at stock clock speed .. the same TiM can be also used for both .. only the mounting mechanism is a little bit different but most pricey third party coolers have similar mounting mechanism for both cpus .. if you still have doubts just look at couple of youtube vids ;-)

if possible do post a pic of the lapped TRUE 120 and post the idle and load temp readings ( I'm sure you will OC - right ? ).

will take some pics when i install the new parts. no plans to OC till june(due to summer heat). wasn't able to do the best of Lapping the true since I couldn't get the finer grit sandpapers(3years ago :p). im getting the i5 2500k in a short while and along with a z68 or 77 motherboard from asrock/GB/asus depending on availability in chennai.

^^ I thought every TRUE users will OC their cpu right from the beginning ;-)

anyaway, there's only 2 more months to go ... and you need to get the required components ... so I will wait to know how good TRUE 120 performs with SB cpus.

BTW, if possible wait a little bit more and try to get a equivalent IVB K series cpu.
