no issues in games, also no issues running BOINC 24/7 , although i believe I was running on beta 4. Don't recall exactly. I was running extended (2 hours) testing OCs in heaven with same settings/V using beta 6 with no issues. I just got a random BSOD while computer was idle yesterday.
I am not running prime for 48 hrs. Also, This cpu is 2 months old and running at low voltage. Degradation is rather unlikely in that amount of time.
Edit* @ Dzilla, In the furure when helping someone with a BSOD, you can also instruct someone to enable driver verifier. As this stresses the drivers and is likely to give a more useful stop code as result of BSOD. This could be useful in situation where cause of BSOD is not known. Just for future use
( I worked at Win 7 forums troubleshooting BSOD for awhile).
I was really just curious if anyone else was having issues with the 12.11 beta drivers. I would assume given the short period of time between beta 6 and 7 there were issues with 6 which were subsequently resolved with 7.

If your reading that from CPU-Z and not a multimeter then that voltage is probably wrong. Asrock mobo's are know to fudge the numbers by a greater extent, There's a reason why they are cheaper then then Gigabyte and Asus boards. They make great budget boards but I would never use one in a heavy overclocking scenario, though I wouldn't really call 4.4ghz a heavy OC on that chip. As a overclocker since the i486 days I can tell you that just because your stable at load doesn't mean your stable at idle. Especially if you have all those power saving features turned on in the bios. I have seen a lot of people, including myself Overclock their chip while keeping the voltage just high enough to make it stable, but sometimes it just needs to be slightly higher. The chips can easily take 1.4v so don't worry about damaging it, though I not sure how hard your stressing your CPU cooler ATM so increasing it could be a problem for ya. BSOD while idling can be erratic, sometimes going away for weeks at a time. If that newer driver works out for you, then good for you, but I'm just trying to explore other options as well. If your not having any problems with the 12.11b7 then it seems you have found the cure.
Are you using load line calibration? Using load line will keep the idle voltage higher then load voltage, which can come in handy when keeping the CPU stable at idle.
