Update:
Initially I though I might have degraded the CPU by benching @1.43 for an hour or so. I was Prime stable at 4200MHz @ only 1.33V, and when I re-tested Prime stability after the benching session (roughly 2 weeks later) it took 1.35V to be stable. Naturally I assumed that the 1 hour benching session caused it to degrade. Well, it has been close to 2 months since I even touched Prime or my BIOS, and the Vcore has been at a constant 1.35V with load temps in the high 40s, low 50s. I ran Prime today and it is not stable at 4200MHz even at 1.37V. What is up with that?? I am really confused, why does my stability continue to decline? No variables changed in the last 2 months and an Overclock which was Prime stable for over 16hours now fails in between 10-20minutes!!
