I'm at 25 minutes on OCCT ("OCCT" 64-bit mode) - should I be satisfied with that and stop it now? As a side note, HWMonitor tells me that the cpu has actually only drawn 1.160v max, even though I've set it to 1.175 - should I try to walk the multiplier up a little and see if I can go 3.4-3.5 GHz on 1.175v?
EDIT: 30 mins
Going to see what P95 does real quick first. If it goes for 5 minutes without a core failing, I'll be satisfied that I can start trying a walk up toward 3.5 GHz again, this time @ ~1.175v.EDIT 2: P95 started at 21:22. Will edit this post with 5-minute results if it makes it that long.
EDIT 3: Core 8 failed within 1 minute on P95. It still hasn't drawn the allotted 1.175v and has stayed at 1.160v max.

, i could get a bit higher when i check my temps, but im not willing to put more than 1.55v on my chip for 24/7, i guess il stay lower
