how did you manage to drop your vcore for linpack i have always had to raise mine for it. plus i found six will pass but if you try for 20+ when it passes 6 then somtimes it will fail.even more so for a gaming rig as it will be fine for a few hours then just bsod or crash the game. and you lose that last ten mins you where doing. just a tip i found out for you mate
