What volt? Orthos stable?
Not had the time to run Orthos for long periods as I wanted to see how far the chip would run SuperPI. All speeds upto 4.2GHz were 30mins Orthos stable; after that just running SuperPI. 4.410GHz @1.475v in BIOS only tested with SuperPI 1M - will do more testing later. 4.365GHz SuperPI 32M stable.
About to try to get it to boot at FSB of 500; want to try and get sub 10secs SuperPI
Edit: Wouldn't boot @FSB of 500; did @ 495 but using 1.5v; think RAM is exhausted.
SuperPI 1M Ran @ 4.455GHz 10.7secs - Orthos failed in 5 secs

Do you think burning in would help stablize the overclock?

Thanks mate, for a short while this cpu has put me at the top of the OcUK air cooled SuperPI Database
After running all night I can confirm that it is Orthos stable for 12hrs @3.6GHz using stock volts. Will run O/N tonight @4GHz. Am going to try again today to get it to boot at FSB of 500.
