Anyone else getting really random vdroop? Setting 1.44v in bios gives me 1.424v in cpu-z under load, setting 1.46v in bios gives the same. Setting 1.475v in bios gives 1.456v real @ idle, 1.44v under load. Still that means i've nailed 185x23 =4.25ghz 10hr prime stable with 1.44v, which is not bad i guess. Now going for 4.3ghz with 23x187.
Actually I have no vdroop. The vcore under load is slightly higher, not lower, in my case. Goes from 1.34375 to roughly 1.35. No turbo on.

You should run 8 instances of Orthos I guess, since there are 8 logical cores.
Anyway I think the best way to stress these systems is with LinX. You can run two instances of LinX, each on half the available memory, and change the affinity to core 0,2,4,5 for one instance and core 1,3,5,7 for the other. This will evenly distribute the load and really put your core i7 to the test. Temps will be about 5°C higher than with Prime95, and you'll see if your system's stable in about 20 minutes (10 runs of LinX) instead of 20 hours.
