I picked up a new CPU, I needed greater flexibility for benching, and a little more speed 24/7 will also be nice. It's a Q829A, supposedly a decent batch. After about 5 hours idling at stock speed and 1.08v, and half an hour or so of orthos, i started working my way up. It passed 2 hours of orthos and 5 runs of IBT (max stress) at 4005 MHz @ 1.197v. I'm still slowly raising the clocks.
So far it's looking pretty good, passed an hour of small FFT's at 4104 MHz, 1.237v:
