    I could get 4.1 (ht on) prime stable on air but max temp was 97.
    This was with nochua and 2x120 fans flat out in push/pull.
    When trying to go much over 4 on air - heat gets to be a big problem..

    LOL, yeah thats right 71º was the maximum reached, the normal temperature is 67º but some times its scales to 70-71º but maybe thats because its cold here in Portugal, i think in the summer it will be at least more 10º => 81º
    Artic Silver 5 or Noctua Thermal Compound? I mixed them both I've put the coolers in the opposite directions, have you? That way the air will go to one unique direction, going out through the power supply. Maybe a better batch, some are hotter ones. Whats your opinion?

    Looking good! - what is your vcore set at in the bios?
    How long can you run prime95 (all cores) at those settings?

    Vcore is 1.27v (1.3000v in BIOS), i've prime yesterday but at 6h30m it has showed a blue screen/reboot, maybe i need more voltage, or not. I think it's a multiplier problem cause 20x200 only primes at > 1.32v, i think a new bios will come soon, mb is P6TDLXv2.

    PS: Priming in this moment at 1.28v, hope it pass the 6h30m, cause i want a error free machine
