Just a little piece of information from my friends Opty 146, he tried some prime95 stabilty tests, at the moment (as from last night) he's prime stable up to 3 hrs (small HTT's, please dont lecture abt which option to use, I know very well how prime95 works ) at 2.9ghz with 1.5volts.

Anything higher than 1.5v and the temperatures start going out of control, he is cooling with a xp120 and 120mm delta fan. These CPU's are defo candidates for cherry popping, hehhehehheee

The 52C u mention seems like a VERY reasonable ceiling to start working from, I hope other members can see if thy start losing stability with these chips at tht sort of temperature, ite would be a very interesting thing to confirm


If your friend can prime at 2.9Ghz on air with only 1.5v.....that's freaking amazing!!
