I don't think 1.6v is enough to go stable im Prime95. You're gonna need 1.75+ volts for that bad boy

Use the wire trick and your voltage will be set to a default of 1.75 and you should be able to squeeze 200+ more out of it. It'll slice it's life in half(from 12 to 6 years) but who cares? It'll be a dinosaur by then anyway. If you need any help with the wire trick I can help you, I did it and was able to reach 3.3ghz from my less stable 3ghz from before.

Hushy: Matsonic? LoL what brand is that? Link?
