Went ahead and ordered another PSU and 1156 mounting bracket for my TRUE 120 as I have a feeling my i3 will do me better in this. Should be here in a few days.
18 degress dang.

Core temp reads between 30 and 40C idle for me in a poor flow case.

If unlocked... then no, nothing reads it right.

OK Contest update.
After much discussion, we have decided to address the "ambient" temp issue.
It doesn't feel fair to penalize anyone for living in a cold environment, although I don't believe that any of our members live in a 50f degree house. goat.
So we have decided that ac blowing directly on your bench rig or radiator (chilled water) is ok TO A POINT. Therefore NO submissions with a temp of lower than 15c on any core will be accepted. No warming up your system before a screenshot. Please do not f' up this contest by trying to gain an unfair advantage. Any of you can win this with good overclocking technique and a little patience. Carry on.
