First of all, thank you.So much good and concrete information.So it IS a new revision, albeit minor one.Thats a good thing.
On the prime95 thing, problem is, it IS a real world piece of software that does actually SOMETHING of use and is not a real power virus, you can join the community and help in Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search.So im not fully with you on that, although im more of a realist, so if your method will net me a 100% stable PC im all for it, until now only when i was prime 95 blend AND large stable none of my software hanged sooner or later, sometimes it could take 12h of encoding while doing another work but it would freeze/hang/quit the encoder.
Another thing is, there are 2 ways to set up an overclock at least on my mainboard, 1.APM ON i get turbo but fluctuating CPU clocks, when set at 4ghz they hover between 3.7 and 4 ,this results in lower power consumption also. or 2.APM OFF, i get no turbo rock stable 4ghz and higher power consumption.
So ,not everyones results are comparable :-/.Disabling APM is also a part of official AMD perf tuning guide here:

Anyhow, awaiting your results and a question, could you test NB clocking in this revision ? anything upwards 2400-2500 is really hard to get fully stable on mine.
Thank you again for loads of info.
