Nilos is a gamer, does't even run prime for hours (my advice), he just uses OCCT and 3D benches (which he loves)... and daily usage is his stability test Beastnostro... funny you ask for 5Ghz stable as in your 8600 thread you started out at 4Ghz and moved up to 4.2 as minimum requirement...
verry nicely said Leeghoofd
goin over 4.8 there is too much heat i'll be there when it gets colder
me myself i'm good @ 4.6 with 1.38v i was hopin for 4.5 when i bought the cpu
i only prime for 1 hour max anything more is a waste for me
soon beastnostro gonna bump that thread to 4.5 when he gets there

dee dont feel so bad i spent 300$ on my old e6850 that did 4.0 24/7
