Well, I went to run a coretemp to post for ya, and it took down my machine within 3-4 minutes, bsod.. I figured at first it was because I had installed a few drivers without rebooting even thou I was asked to reboot a few times and didnt, plus tha fact I had reinstalled windows like 5 days ago and my machine had been up since, I hadnt even bothered to install tha chipset drivers, however i had installed tha xifi sound driver and was using that without rebooting, etc.. So, I restarted tha machine, installed tha chipset drivers, restarted again, round 2 of occt for a coretemp reading, this time it stopped with a error.. NOW, since I tested this last time, lots has changed, newer driver versions in system, newer bios (with same settings as tested before), etc.. So, into tha bios, decided to change tha voltage to 1.30 manual, instead of 0.140 offset.. Rebooted, ran fine for 20 min, no problems.. Set back to offset, changed it to 0.160, ran occt again, stopped within 10 min.. Set back to manual 1.30 cpu voltage, again it ran fine for 20 min.. Okay, manual instead of offset with this bios version then hey, tryed 1.25, again it stopped, didnt bother with 1.275, said okay, 1.30 it is, again occt ran fine.. With offset of 0.140, I was running under load with occt between 2.80-3.04, changing but mostly sitting at 2.88 volt, but 0.160 didnt fix tha problem.. Bios voltage setting of 1.30, under load in windows shows 1.312 did..
NOW, at 0.140 offset, my max temps where 87, at manual 1.30, they are now 93 apperantly

I could get lower temps, but I have asus smartfan on, and my noctura d14 fans are only running around 400 RPM when tha machine is idle, not sure what tha max they run at with this config, but there silent still under load.. 93 will have todo i guess, still leaves 12c till max..
If u take note of my ram timings, yes, there set to tha rated 1333mhz (2666mhz) timings, I choose stable over bothering to play with them to get them stable at lower timings for very little difference performance really, my ram is running at 2400mhz as per motherboard limit, tha 2400mhz kits sell with a 10-12-12-31 timing I think althou.. When I bought tha motherboard and ram, I wasnt aware that only some boards can run higher speeds, and I wanted tha headroom for my overclock anyways, now that I am tha wiser about this and see 27.809G ram thruput at 2400mhz, I would of bought a 2400mhz 32G kit for tha money I spent on a 2666mhz 16G kit
