I see 4.9Ghz is really bad, what if you disable onboard gpu will temperature drop or it doesnt matter?

Edit: ah you used 1.39v I guess that explains it ^^

Curious, if the 'thermal armor' is removable, why not remove it and see if makes a difference temperature wise? With such high temps when overclocked, any measurable difference will get amplified.

If that's too much of a hassle in this busy time period with Haswell and Computex and all, why not test to see if that flow valve switch changes anything temperature wise?
