I am not sure if my cpu i7 920 d0 stepping had died as when using full load prime95 blend test after 2 minutes, core 2 had stopped, after 6 minutes core 1 had stopped except core 3 and core 4 are still running using 4 cores, 4 threads at 4.2Ghz overclocking.

I am now scared and worried myself, wondering if my cpu had now dying ?

Wish I shouldn't overclock it as it big risky to the cpu. I never set vcore more than 1.300v since I brought the bundle myself. Very unhappy now :(
 
It look like my overclock is no longer in stable after ocuk (rich) had replaced my new motherboard (same board as before) as my old board cpu fan header isn't work anymore as Rich who kindly replaced me a new board yesterday at OCUK as a result to my RMA report.

I am now sad and disappointed as I can't believed my new board isn't stable as my old board. Look like I had to stayed as 2.66Ghz now (default with no overclock)
 
UPDATED:

It appear that my cpu is now okay. Using 4Ghz overclock with 4 cores / 8 threads with HT enabled and done 3 hours full load prime95 blend test without any problem. (thanks god for that) Cos, I had updated firmware on the bios from F6 to F7 version and it now stable on the new board. :)
 
My cpu is seem fine now. I just thought of killing off my cpu as I do have a spare i7 920 c0 cpu chip. I might have to sell it but I think no ones isn't interested on the old i7 920 c0 chip these days now.
