Optional:
3.485GHz Orthos StressPrime Priority10 stable for 10 hours


Here's what's possible with a good LOW-Voltage CPU...I'm starting to think that some Phenoms are much like the dual-core Opterons in that a few of them don't require much voltage to go much further (just like Opterons!)
At the stock 2.5GHz speed, I can pass 10 hours of Orthos StressPrime Priority10 at 1.14V (this is it's lowest stable voltage at stock speed)

Now, 3.15 is only drawing 1.32V, but to get to 3.485GHz, it took 1.375, and to get to 3.51GHz, it was 1.45V - so you can begin to see the limitations of the motherboard and CPU combo, along with the point of diminishing returns happening right between 3.4 and 3.5GHz. Even though it's (roughly) 96% stable at 3.51GHz, it did BSOD just after 8 hours of Orthos StressPrime at priority10, but that's not all - pumping 1.45V though the CPU was idling at ~55*C and full-load was 62*C, well out of my comfort zone.

So, I've settled at the 3.485GHz at 1.375V for now...idle at 46*C and full-load at 55*C - well within range of my optimum thermal threshold, and passes 10 hours of Orthos StressPrime priority10.

I'm doing a bunch more tests to see what different variables do to the bandwidth and throughput, but for now, it spits out SuperPi 1M in 22.039 seconds, and has MB/s in Everest Ultimate Cache and Memory Benchmark of 10311R, 9457C, 11739W (which is just *screaming* fast - fastest I've tested yet!)

Also, when I can get ahold of the new 780G board, I'll be redoing the entire thing again...
