    I dont buy this, isnt there a pic with some guy priming 4ghz on the stock cooler hitting like 98c and its still stable?

    Yes, you are right, there is, and maybe there are a few total. There is even a guy here that runs low volts 4.2GHz OC perfectly stable on air. Golden chips and therefore not representative of the majority of parts out there.

    It's a single threaded app, and BL has his affinity set to core0 I believe, if the core throttled, or failed his run would have aborted.

    Yeah, I thought so...hence the shrug at the end :p Something must be causing it however...

    Finally, as it is a single threaded app, why not then disable all cores but one and go for max OC to one core to get the best Super PI score?
