Real life gaming really taxes your system. Much better than the synthetic stuff. I can run 3D Mark 2006 for 10 hrs 100% STABLE at 3.80 GHz and 1.5v but once I try to play games like Crysis or L4D it crashes.

What I'm curious about is 100% stability. How many people reporting these 3.7+ screenies are actually STABLE, 100%? So far, my 920's max is 3.5GHz 100% stable. The reason, my current cooling solution sucks. Once I get the rest of my water setup I'm hoping to do 3.7-3.8, 100% stable. Not just screenshots. When I say 100% stable, i mean OCCT, Prime95, 3DMark and gaming. Not just one app. If we polled this up I'm sure the majority of people with 100% stability are clocked at 3.5-3.7GHz max on air. I can boot up and take screenshots at 3.78Ghz with my crappy air cooling setup. But its craps out once the CPU is taxed.

I agree, That's what I'm after. I want to see max 100% stable clocks...I'm hopping to get 3.5-3.8 to be stable for me...but I'm under water so i expect that will help.

I also need better CPU cooling to push the CPU higher. Even at 3.60 GHz at 1.4v my CPU gets really hot now for some reason. Wasn't like this last week.

Double post! Soz... anywho-
I had that same issue... the sensors didn't start-up correctly more than likely. Mine did that a few times but it only happened 2x. So reboot and it should work.
