3.8GHz on stock cooling here. Voltage is 1.23v at load and 1.26v at idle (1.30v set in BIOS). Only Prime stable. OCCT needs up to 1.35v set in BIOS for some bizarre reason. (1.26v load and 1.30v idle)

Stock cooling lets things stay at max 65C in OCCT, 62C in Prime, and idling at 39 - 45C according to CoreTemp. With AC7 Pro, it's a good 2C drop in load volts, but that was it. Stock cooling is not too loud...

And no screenshots or anything will be taken at this point, since I'm too lazy... (just got back from Fanime Convention yesterday)
