So I am working on my clocking right now; 2600k @ 48x100 1.350v is a breeze; 56c prime blend (water).

I can boot at 50x100 but that is about it; tried PLL on and LLC 75%; no difference. As soon as I start prime blend I get an error on one of the threads and a few sec-min later a bsod (101). Is 50+ a reasonable goal if I want this system to last ~2 years?

Also, speedstep y/n/why?
C1E? (is this still a big deal as it was on x58)

Any advice would be appreciated.

EDIT: on bios 1101.
