Did I get some lucky silicone?

Very nice voltage. My 860 needs 1.24v to be stable at 4ghz. Different chip yeah, but same architecture

Try using Intel Burn Test it's much better than Prime95, if you can pass IBT for long periods then you're good to go.

How on earth did you manage that? I can't get it stable even when using 1.4v?! Well, it is day to day stable, god enough for my gaming, but twas not 95 stable.

Even though the temps are about 68 degrees under prime, which is just plain weird, as I see peoples with lower volts and much higher temps

. Must just be my case

anyway I can find batch number without taking the processor out =/ ?

Mine tends to top out at about 70-73 in prime, though IBT likes to push it up to 80!

Will be on the box.

If you bought OEM then it will only be on the processor afaik

wow nice voltage. A batch number would be nice, then I can see if mine is the same
