Gotcha Hahaha
Keep us updated when you get a 24/7 stable overclock.
I'd also like to see a benchmark or two compared to your 980x & or 2600k.

Nice!

 I like how your quick preliminary tests would equate to about 40 hours of getting nowhere for me LOL

There is nothing official, but assuming good temps, and 24/7 usage, a smart overclock would be to keep it at 1.35v max, pushing it would be 1.4v, killing it early 1.45v, fast death 1.5v.
these are just opinions, based on my little knowledge.
The reason there is nothing official, is because there are too many variables, CPU V core is only one piece of the CPU life puzzle.
I have several overclocks on this CPU, which I will post in my review soon, one is 4.4Ghz with 1.35 V core, max temps are very cool, would be the wise choice, Big%20Smile
