Anyone know what size fan is on the NB optional heatsink?

I believe that it's a 40mm.

We didn't say it was unstable. We said it was less stable compared to lower switching frequency. Of course bumping the voltage up a little will stabilise overclocks using 1000khz that would have been stable using a lower switching frequency.

For me, as has been mirrored by a few others, found that with a fixed VCore that is on the brink of stability at a given CPU speed, the higher the PWM switching frequency set the quicker LinX fails.

How much faster were you guys able to run with PWM set at 1000khz compared to 250khz? And with which BIOS version?

I would use exactly your words to describe walking on the edge of stability, but instead using 1000kHz to give it the advantage.
Using BIOS 0601 and difference between 250&1000kHz is unstable rig becoming stable at aimed speed (core 4410, uncore 3780, qpi 3780, mem 1680)

Where can I find the option to enable Dynamic vcore?
This option is described in the manual as the "CPU Voltage Control [Absolute (VID)]".
bios: 601

I would like to know that too. I didn't even noticed it, before you mentioned (never read manuals much )

Could someone give me an opinion?

On NB and SB what thermal paste should i use? Ceramic or Artic Silver 5 (on this RIIIE)?

If it is like R2E, dynamic Vcore is obtained setting the BIOS Vcore in "relative" mode and choosing the right offset.
