i have not yet. if i start getting instability again when testing higher amounts of mem then i'll give it a go. right now i'm getting the best stability with +1/+1 at 66-67-68 with +3 rTL's
EDIT: on another note, i've come to find from multiple sources that the reason why gulfy chips have such out of control temps is due to intel using rather trashy sensors in their 32nm chips in general.
i was scared about some of the temps i was seeing, but they were always on the same cores. first i tried relating the cores to the physical position on the CPU but 1 out of the 2 cores that read REALLY hot is on the outside and the other near the dead center of the chip. because of this, i've learned to have a better trust in HWmonitor's and PC Probe's temps, among others aswell, over RealTemp GT as RealTemp GT is only giving what it sees from these trashy sensors. because of this i've been doing 1 of 2 things, 1 - the method earlier stated of looking at the highest temp and taking 80% of that as your average of a sort and 2 - adding the temp of all cores in RealTemp GT and getting an average between all 6 cores. either way i go about it, temp ranges from 82-88*c at full load at 4.5ghz. this temp range is also including the hours of stress testing which heat soaks my water system as it's a full single loop between cpu, full MOBO and a dual chiped VGA card. because of this i do need to periodically let the soak cool out over about 10 mins to get back to normal levels otherwise i start getting that higher 88*c average after a good few hours of none stop burn tests.
i really need to isolate my cpu with a second loop >.<
