Update on my D0

With the below I'm prime stable for 12hrs, I've only ran 10 passes of LinX but so far better than before and 3-4 degs less

Seems a lot of vcore!? How are the temps??

Q2: Prime95 Testing: If all 1024K threads pass at different times (not all within 5 secs of each other) does this mean the chip is suffering on some cores? Or is that normal?

Thanks...

My Theory:
I believe the bigger differences are caused by open programs that require processing in one form or another thus slowing down cores ability to pass tests at the same speed as others.

Can anyone verify / shoot me down on this??
