Only ones between 1.4 and 1.44 had confounding issues, like running with high FSB 600, priming with 545 and ? corresponding high FSB VTT or without, and one Greek poster that degraded at 1.41...but turns out in another post he had benched with 1.825v bios few days prior.

But, if you are seeing degradation and not variability could it be your high FSB VTT and not vcore? Isnt 1.15 normal? I have my FSB at 1.15v. Edit..I think 1.10 is recommended for 45nm, where 1.20 recommended for 65nm. list of degradation post 1246.
Well currently I raised 3 settings in the bios. Here is what I raised:
1.375 VTT FSB Voltage
1.15 SB Core Power
1.7 I/O Power.
and now it is 30 min stable for now. I still have 30 min to go to get 1 hour stable OCCT so we'll see. If this is stable I will lower the sb power and I/O power and stress again. But like I said my previous settings was stable 1 hour OCCT, then it failed in 30 min when I stressed again. I'll even stress with the settings that OCCT failed in 30 minutes again just to make sure.

EDIT: Just failed OCCT with 29 minutes to go at:
1.375 VTT FSB Voltage
1.15 SB Core Power
1.7 I/O Power.
