Almost 5Ghz for 24/7 use? omg...;

Well done.

Almost 5Ghz for 24/7 use? omg...;

Well done.

Using 1.52 vCore for 24/7 ? I think this is a lot for a 32nm, isn't it ?

Could be, time will tell.

People are generally more scared of vcore than they need to be though, we'll see what the random made up arbitrary "max voltage" for 24/7 will be on 32nm soon I'm sure

If they handle voltage like 45nm does without degrading or being damaged, they will be fine
