Hey 8 
I know you're not a firm believer in running Intel Burn Test and stuff for stability but is there a particular reason?
Surely if a chip can do infinite loops at stock it should be able to do them when overclocked too?
Asking because I can get my 2600k to pass Linx at 4.8Ghz at just over 1.4v
I can get into Windows and do pretty much every at 5Ghz with 1.45v but it will not pass any stress tests.
