Can anyone give feedback on this point ?

Thks
Right now (5th day now) i'm using my single stage cooler with voltages up to 1.75V . I'm gonna remove it in 1-2 days to check it again with watercooling .

It was a lot easier to check with orthos as my friends don't bench so they want to have 100% stable systems . 12+ hours orthos testing is a very good indication (of course lots of memtest & 3d's) . The temperatures where the same . In fact weather is a bit colder here in Greece since last week .

I'll have to agree that it sounds unreasonable to have such results in only 2-3 days ... but it's what 8 people reported so far . I'm a bit dissapointed , but i like to bench ... so i'll bench and not care for the CPU .

"relatively low voltage" ??? From 1.1V to 1.5V is 27% increase . It's not like conroes from 1.35V to 1.5V . We deal here with 45nm and it'll take some time to find the limits.

Right now 2 friends of mine (after they seen the degradation) , lowered the vcore to 1.34V . I'm waiting for their findings after 2-3 days .
