Any suggestions?
Don't waste ya time with subzero, watercooling or a good air cooler are more than enough. IMC is in the CPU...

I can hit the escape button and it stops the test, but for whatever reason it just hangs there and stays on the "warming up" part. I can even see my cpu throttling, but still no go. Any ideas?
It's not stable for Vantage... Lower your clocks, add more cold or pump volts
