I can run my quad core at 1.225v all day at 3.2GHz but it could crash at any time and has, but is quite stable. Getting to 3.6Ghz takes 1.4v
I can run my Q6600 @ 4GHz with 1.475v all day long but it crashes too. Just being able to run all day at a certain clock doesn't make it stable. I can play videos, music and light gaming but if I Fold or Prime or try Encoding it'll crash/lock/reboot/blow up instantly!
