I for myself never test my setup for more then 2+1/2 hours with Prime Custom, had never problems. So i mangaged to run my setup with 1.10v VTT too, but it crashed while i was gaming. I had to raise VTT to 1.12 and vNB a little.



There is no "first and second range". The only things you have to look at, is the voltage for the CPU, which should be about 1.365v max. at load (24/7) and the temperature of the cores, which should be about 70°-75 C max. for a short peroid. But with high temperatures like this the system could get unstable.
I think you should start at the beginning. With such a low VID you should be able to run your system with 4.2Ghz at about 1.25v (full load). There is definitly something wrong in your settings.
Maybe you post your template here? Letīs take a look in it.
Thanks Trust13...
I tried many settings but none seems to be stable with low voltages...
