It bounces around for me too - especially on Classifieds - maybe it's mounting related, but tightening and loosening never seems to make much difference... The R3E seems much more forgiving so far. Rapid shifts in temps are usually the worst. I tend to get to higher clocks and lower temps by going faster and colder in baby steps.

Also, it can usually tolerate lower temps in the middle of CPU intensive benches than it can at idle.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one lol

I pour heavy until I get up to about -80, then I flash the pot with a Mapp Gas torch and pour heavy again until I get around -105 or so. Then I start dribbling the juice in, especially if I've flashed the pot one or two more times. Rapid shifts in temps are a major problem for me too, so I pour slowly, one eye on the temp, the other on the screen ... not very comfortable :
