My first delidded cpu by 8 pack had an issue and hit 100c with every stress test. My replacement is so much much better. I started at 5.0 @ 1.35v and stressed tested down to 1.3v and it is still perfectly stable at roughly 65c. I will be continuing the testing this evening. Now should I keep dropping the voltage to see where it eventually fails, or do I creep up to 5.1? Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks for the advice. I decided to stay at 5.0 at 1.3v I hammered it for a few hours at that voltage and it was 100% stable so that will do for me :)
