That temp sounds pretty good to me... A lot cooler than most run... My 1.33@1.6 is running 110 F under a full load and 98F at idle. I think i'd turn up the juice on that and try to squeeze out 1.4 :)

You can try turning down the voltage still. It's hit and miss. Some will run at default, some will run at 1.85v. Maybe you got lucky and can run it at default.

That would explain the low temps then... IF you have a P3 1.0 at 1.2 you are lucky... Keep it right where its at and enjoy! :)
