Most I've put through mine is 1.75, 2600mhz, 10-12-12-31 1T. Xmp is 2400 10-11-11-31 2T. Pi 32m is 6.37 on xmp with a 4.7 oc on cpu.

My take on temps is, if you keep it below where it starts throttling it's fine 
Of course, in a perfect world we would want to keep it cooler for longevity reasons, but as long as we get these hot chips, not much we can do besides run it high or clock it low.
Edit: to expand on that, I take something like aida which pushes temps bit higher than pretty much any load I will put it under, and so long as I can keep it under 95 for that, I don't generally see temps in 80s elsewhere

They'll operate up to 100'c fine, good cooling should get you temps around 80'c at 100% load.
Had my first day yesterday where my PC didn't get opened, I didn't have to change bios settings, I didn't have to run tests, I didn't have any crashes of any kind!!
Running 4.7 with matched uncore, vengeance pro 2133 c11 2400mhz at 10-12-12.
As long as it remains stable, that will do me.

Nothing much to show, just more Vcore and more V going into the RAM at a value I dont think you got the stomach for
we shall see
hahaha

Virus could you please list what volts your using for each voltage setting. I'm currently at 4.8ghz core and 4.5ghz uncore. Stable with 1.243vcore, 1.9vrin and 1.2 ring voltage. System agent and the rest on auto.
Trying to increase the uncore further to struggling with stability. Tried upto 2.2vrin with no luck.

Just noticed a strange thing on my chip this evening. Default voltage on this chip is 1.200, but when i checked this evening it was at 1.2800, (stock system). Only change i made recently in bios was to set XMP for my ram speed, timings and voltage. Seems this must override vcore too. Disabling fully manual mode on the voltage settings reset voltage to 1.200.
Btw Virus, that GTL 2.0 is pretty handy looking, much beter display of voltages than asus ai suite.

yeah its a little handy tool
i can save 4 profiles with it and change them instantly in windows, if its a warm day and i dont want to reboot i can hit my cool profile
or if its cool i can hit my instant heater profile you get the point i never have to go into the bios again
lol

I see youve left cache/ring on auto. This is the one that go's to 1.27 for me on auto. Also i reckon that using too low on input may have been a hindering factor on my previous chips. Should be getting a new psu this week so ill be oc'ing again.

Adaptive voltage on vcore
48/48
2400 Memory
------------------------------------
auto on vring no voltage needed.
just use the settings in my GTL 2.0 image you might need slightly higher vcore try 1.340v in your bios.
Thanks, will give those a try later
they seem fine is you get 124s and up your vcore
if you get 101s up your vccin to 1.9-2.1-
though can be a combo of both but usually if your not messing with uncore or memory then it will be vcore that needs bumped.
if your messing with uncore/memory leave vring on auto and bump vccin, every cpu is different though some are strong some are weak some have strong imc`s some have weak imc`s, you will have to fiddle just make sure to keep the temps down.....
and you must get stable in IBT 10 pass`s should do it.
and if you want the quick and fast dirty method, run AVX with prime95 for 5 minutes if you pass that you will pass IBT for 20+ minutes.

IBT and Prime95 don't mean ****.

Up to 2-3 days ago you didn't think it was possible to run 4.7uncore at auto Vring voltage till I showed you.
You also said I was losing "efficiency" in memtweak, yet I had to show you that that score does not mean a thing when comparing different RAM IC's.
So you wont mind if I tell you you are wrong about IBT+Prime95 will you
They do nothing but stress/cook and degrade your CPU.
They do not represent anything that a game or other app throws at a CPU in everyday usage.
Asus Realbench is a tougher test to pass than those and at least you get a score to try and compete with against other users.
You carry on using it, but I know better, 8pack knows better and so do many more people.
if the system is stable for what you want it to do (games, encoding, web browsing) at the end of the day that is what matters.
Good. you have no need to run it or IBT.
I think your Vrin (vccin) could be a bigger delta between it and Vcore so maybe try 2v
it's completely crashed on Heaven, it cant take it, i'm back at 4.5
i upped the v core twice to a final figure of 1.419 from 1.29...still crashed
i'm worried about the 7990 it's running very hot, i cant touch the back plate
i now have to look at the 7990 thread, to see what the voltage is, pc was fine until i jacked it up to 4.7

1.4 is too much I think for that speed.
Certainly not worth it to get an extra 200MHz if you have to stick that in to it.
Have you set llc to extreme performance etc?
