@Daveburt712: Congrats to your decision. Had to rewire my water colling setup here completely somehow it got choked and the 430 at stock still worked. That liquid smelled undescribable brackish after beeing in an closed loop for 5 years.

Finaly found stable voltages for 1150MHz mem. It had failed at 1.6V mem and 1.25 or 1.285V APU VDDA so i upped mem as well and with 1.62V mem and 1.3V apu vdda it passed prime95 for 14 hrs. Going to lower vdda now till i it's getting unstable again. Seems these two volates have an sweetspot for each frequency and need to be balanced well. Tried 1.05V and 1.1V for apu vdda and p95 failed within seconds, now at 1.16V after an minute.

VDDA: This is the voltage used by the clock multiplier circuit inside the CPU, also known as PLL (Phase-Locked Loop).
