And don't run linkpack any more it is too inconsistant and can cause damage to componets.

I run Orthos Blend and i am right now at 13hrs 39 min Stable and still going on my 4.2ghz OC.
As far as the consensus.. shouldn't SmallFFT be used? Your probably still gonna be good with Small FFT but your temps are gonna be a bit higher. My E8600 @ 1.39v 4416mhz Small FFT max temp 65c after 8+ hours. I ran my E8500 at 1.42v for 4200mhz for 6months with no issues after the initial degradation of .05v. E8500 Maxes at 72c+ during Small FFT. I think these chips are a little more durable than some people think. Using TRUE with Arctic Ceramic. I Idle at 30c current set up.
