I would rather see 12hrs minimum prime blend stable, but that is asking to much from many ppl who think 1 hour is good enough... :)
Now why i asked for Nilos to try 5.0ghz low volts is thats something i like to see is all and prime stable for at least 12hrs and that would be impressive as then i would fall off my chair drooling about the day i can do that... :)
Buy a OCZ freezer ... :)

I am itching to try it, but i think temps maybe over 60C and i don't like to see that, but it is OK for 24/7 if 60-65C, but if it reaches 70C-80C ... forget it as Air Cooling just won't cut it at those temps 24/7.
Maybe i just will crank her up and do a Super Pi and HDtach, plus HDtune and call it stable... :) ... Then have a BSOD when playing COD 4 and yell and scream and post on here about what a POS chip and mobo i have.... :ROTF:

I am not bitter as i have never even tried over 4.3ghz yet, so i don't know what the highest Prime Blend Stable (at least 12hrs for me) all i was pointing out is the DREAM i had is all and hopefully someone can post some Dreamful OC's prime blend stable for 12hrs is what i like to see as like i mentioned and we all know its true ..... many of the chips can hit 4.5-4.8ghz at decent/mid-high volts ... but stability IMO again is 12hrs minimum of prime blend.
My thread i made again i set the minimum to 3 hours, but that does not mean the build is 100% stable either .. heck even 12hrs i can't state it is 100% 24/7stable, but i have never had any issues after doing so on any of my past OC's. I Orthos Primed Blend this OC for 16hrs and that is very very stable IMO, i have primed OC's before to 8 hours and crashed during GAME play or PC froze up when doing 3Dmark 03 testing, so more volts were needed on CPU and primed blend test (My New Standard) 12hrs minimum now.
And as you pointed out that for cooling ... a $400.00 unit like that would most definately help a 5.0ghz OC to run stable and cool for hours on end.
