no problems @all with my 24/7 settings written in my sig. maybe u have some other troubles @ur sys. it´s strange that all ur 3 chips r degrading on that fast way. which vcore etc.. did u use for benching ?

btw. i have done the LinX stess test and joined the club no degradation unitl now

I was priming 4.9@1.43v and 4.8@1.4v and it seemed fine until I left it overnight.

anyways, I'm done for now until I get better cooling. sold my 2nd 2500k and my corsair H50, so I'm on stock HS/F @ 4.5GHz/1.31v with my L041C123

Seems like 32nm is gets easily degraded. My Q6600 was running at 1.475v for 3years and I would still leave it running prime blend / small ftt for 24-48hrs on weekends or when I dont use my PC and it never required higher voltages.

Im not really sure into those whole degradation with the vcore if its under 1.4500v but who knows Im concerned and afraid about it.. how did the i920/940's cope up with this before?


@Topic

A friend of mine using a 2500K cooled with a D14 seems to be having some rough time getting 4.5Ghz to become stable, we both had the impression that 4.5Ghz can even be done with auto voltage on about 99.99% of the SB chips, I think last he tried was Normal voltage and +0.025.. Seems rather high for just 4.5Ghz ?
He is using the bios 1302 (IIRC) and the P8P67 Pro (B3)

I had a Q6600 too that ran for years. and then I had a few 930's that were rather poor, one of them degraded on me. the IMC/VTT voltages were killing them. and for SB, I've seen this degredation with no more than 1.43vcore

4.5GHz should be pretty easy, on a good chip you can do it with like 1.3v or lower, and with a mediocre or bad chip you may need 1.35v, 1.36v or 1.376v load volts. try manual voltage instead of offset until you get a feel for the chip. asus' offset can be buggy. also be sure to monitor the volts in CPU-Z during load. may be dropping too much and need LLC enabled. I think a good "guaranteed" point for most chips @ 4.5GHz would be 1.352vl load, but many will run lower too. mine needs 1.31v w/ 2T memory, or 1.44v-1.52v w/ 1T memory.
