Hey guys, first post!
Basically, I went to apply an old overclock after setting it to factory to install windows technical preview and I'm greeted with this (running prime95):
I'm not normally silly at this stuff but I literally don't even know what to make of this.
Any ideas?

Should probably add: 210 and 21.5 were the desired figures, I can't even imagine where it's plucked 7 from.

Okay I think it's the VRMs being too hot, holding a fan over them seems to make it settle out. Anyone know of a more permanent solution?
better thermal paste might help. water cooling could also be an option if your not using it already.
are you sure all the cores are designed to go that high? it could be the first 2 cores were made bigger for tasks that aren't multi-threaded.

What mobo are you using? Mobo's with only 4 power phases don't play nice with FX 6300's when they're OC'ed and under full load.
