I'm using the Asus MIIF and watercooling the cpu, with a gigabyte EP45-U3DP coming soon. I've been able to get both chips to 4 ghz (450x9) orthos 12 hr blend stable (usually what I like to see before I game with a specific setting) with 1.38vcore according to everest at idle- any less vcore and either chip will crap out with errors before my arbitrary 12 hr standard of stability. I'm currently trying to get one of the chips to 4.4 ghz (490x9) stable, and I'm still throwing orthos rounding errors at under 1 hr using up to 1.43ish vcore- but I'm going to play with other setting like the gtl's to make sure I really need all that vcore. Both chips have a VID of 1.25. And heat has not yet been a limiting factor, as even at 1.43 vcore I have yet to exceed 55C with either core while orthos is running.
