Well don't let the pressure of grabbing the No.1 spot get to you . . . . . I mean its only major Kudos and all!

Failed Prime just short of 3hours, well PC blue screened after 2hours 55minutes
Load temps were 56-58c across 4 cores
That was at 4.1ghz
more volts needed or?
Normally BSOD = not enough voltage, but not after 3hours of prime, normally instant!

It can be a real pain getting the last few MHz, had loads of 3hrs+ at 4GHz just to crash out. Change a setting and start again, upping the voltage doesn't always help. Makes it worse sometimes. Moving to water I finally got 4.05GHz @ 1.61v with a cold night. 3.8Ghz was easy @ 1.48v (1.57v on air). Its an early week chip, it hated the extra 200MHz for 4 gig, temps were much higher. The GTLref helped me in the end.

1.488v under load
3870mhz
54-54-56-56 after 45minutes of Prime. Temps will stay at that for hours, just hope it doesn't BSOD or I'm going to have to faff around in the BIOS!
850/2125/2200 on your card, that's an absolute beast!
Mine was stable on air at 800/2100/2000 but under water it seems to get just below that strangely! Definitely can't hit 850/2125 though with this Asus one Ive got !

1.48v exactly the same as mine, volt modded my board to get rid of the droop. Temps are similar to mine as well, although opened my window after 8hrs to see the result and it dropped to 28C load
Funnily enough my GTS is an Asus, still on the stock cooling. Temps don't seem to hold them back, I'd volt mod it, but I'm going to chop it in soon.

I get a straight reset in prime when at 4Ghz
Does that have a GTLref setting? I had the board but can't remember. On my IP35 Pro, gradually changing the GTLref from 67% to 70% (+71% was worse) stopped it instant resetting when prime started at 4GHz. I had the Maximus Formula, but that stopped at 63% and suffered instant restarts with this chip at 4Ghz as well.

It was a straight BSOD, priming now at 3.87ghz, temps are 55-54-57-57 after 90mins

Yeah I had my ram at 4-4-4-12 @ 910mhz.
Might try in the week sometime with looser timings on the ram, could be that!

Currently clocking my Quad, not going for it straight away - wanting to play with the board a bit. Nice having the option of separate die GTLREF settings and NB GTLREF settings. 
Straight in at 3.6 without a sweat which I expected anyway, but GTLREF settings have pretty much let me keep all voltages down to default when it comes to VTT and vMCH. vCore I'm working on getting down too.
After that, Ill go for gold and once I get some separate sinks and NB block I'll lower performance level and phase adjusts

What's the GTLref range for the DFI?Nice having the option of separate die GTLREF settings and NB GTLREF settings.

Hex 0-225, so 67% of 1.20 would be ~80/81.

well if increasing vcore is having no effect i found raising my FSB Termination voltage 1 notch helped a bit
Must admit Ive left pretty much everything on auto, will try that
have been chatting to Devious and will be trying his bios settings out.
It my just need more vcore though.
Hum, cant get to my pc atm, but I dont recall it having a GTL ref voltage setting though.
I'm happy enough with these for now, mostly trade off for lower temps rather than higher clock speed.
