What temps are you at btw? If they're below 85 under prime95 just keep adding voltage. Some chips dont heat up as much as others at the same voltage. My 950 @ 4.675 / 1.48v runs cooler than my 920 @ 4.4ghz 1.45v.

Also some cpus just dont like a high uncore combined with high cpu core, hence my suggestion to go to 6x mem /12x uncore.

Just work out which particular part of the chip is failing and then youll know what to adjust.

You should be fine up to +350mv / 340mv on water or +250mv / +300mv on air. Above that temps will probably get lairy.
Thanks for the advice.

I tried lowering the multi's. No go. The thing is I can boot into windows, do a few things, run vantage, play games, but passing prime...no go.

Question. Is that your 24/7 oc settings? @ 4.4ghz., and 4.6ghz. My friend's oc is similar. He's running 4.4ghz but using 1.5v for vcore, and he has HTT enabled. He also is on the G32 bios, and his chip is a C0. When I heard that u see why I was like WTF with my D0 chip.

With my Swiftech GTZ block I never broke 80c under load. With the Extreme XT I barely break 70c. I idle in the low 40's. I ruled overheating out as a possible cause of OC not passing Prime.

Main reason I changed from a C0 to a D0 was cause I wanted to use less volts hence bring my temps down. With my old C0 I needed 1.4v to hit 4.2ghz stable with HTT off. With HTT on? I needed 1.5v easy.

I'll keep trying though. Thanks again for the advice. I'll keep u posted but that W3520 is in my newegg wishlist just incase lol. Be funny if I end up getting the Xeon and it turns out to be a bad chip lol. Wait no that wouldnt be funny lol.
