You wont notice much of a difference running 3.5Ghz.
I have OCCT running right now with it at 3.6 GHz and 1.250v, so far it's stayed stable for 17 mins (I'm editing this number as it goes, rather than making new posts), although it's lagging like a mother trying to post this message lol. But that's the most it's ever stayed stable thus far. I'm going to leave it go for an hour if it'll go that long and report back, but it's looking good.
I tried 1.250v and 3.8 GHZ first and OCCT caused a reboot after about 1 minute, but this is looking like a winning number now @ 3.6 with the same voltage. Might even try to walk it up to 3.7 GHz and see if it'll still run.
I'm interested in seeing what it does in Prime95 now.
Edit: Stopped LINPACK mode at 17 mins, testing OCCT mode produced an error in 46 seconds

Edit 2: Started Prime95 at 20:14 (2 minutes ago), ran stable for 2 mins and core #8 got a hardware failure (0.5/0.4 fatal). Believe it or not, this is still a dramatic improvement over what it was doing before. Time to try 1.2v and 3.5 GHz as suggested...
Edit 3: The other 7 cores have stayed stable for 5 minutes on P95, so I think we're getting close.
