4ghz prime temps are 70C w/ load vcore 1.31. At 4.2 and higher, temps get toasty on load...just starting to bench now, will await new waterblock for higher mhz prime.

Interestingly, the turbo mode does not affect stability, despite being at 4.2 ghz...and this is likely from less vdroop with only 1 core loaded.
Idle vcore 1.36
Prime 8 instances running 1.31 load vcore for prime small ffts stable 9 hours (post 331).
Using taskbar to run prime/orthos w/affinity set to core 0,1 of 8, vdroop is to only 1.344 vcore, which allows stability at 4.2 (4.186 mhz turbo 23x182).

I can leave turbo enabled, and get extra boost 4.2 on single core tasks.
So basically if your OC is stable with turbo mode off, there's no reason not to turn it on?
