No I had no intention of long term prime testing at that voltage, just a short shot to see if it will hold load but it didnt. That was initial testing after installing the new cpu, if I had more time I would have just gone into 3D benching to see how far it would get. What max voltage would you suggest for benching only with water cooling? Im pretty sure my last one was running around 1.6 when it died. This cpu is happy at 4700-1.35v so that will probably be 24/7 clock.

Dumo - very nice, how much does the cooling help that result?
