    My BIOS won't let me go below stock. Maybe yours will, but you may find that you get instabilities.

    When spreading the AS5 I too used a bit of clingfilm over the finger to spread the AS5 paste, but for some reason I would always end up with more of the paste on the clingfilm then on the cpu! seemed as though the clingfilm done a good job at removing it rather then actually spreading it

    So after struggling with the clingfilm I had to revert to using an old library card (never went to the library much anyway lol) to spread the paste all over the cpu, which done the job nicely have to say

    And also, i lowered the voltage on the cpu by a few notches to 1.225V through bios (although cpu-z is reporting 1.184) in attempt for cooler temps as thorsson stated my vcore was a bit high. It seems to be ok, hasn't hanged on me yet everything seems stable, just wanted to know if there was anyway to test this? would running orthos give me an idea? and one last thing, does undervolting a cpu cause any harm? Im pretty sure it doesn't but if anyone wants to put me right then please do so

    No it doesn't, and running Orthos will be a good test (of temp also).

    I second that. Any major instabilities should result in an Orthos failure within the first 60 minutes (if not the first 15). After 3 hours you're pretty good but for the true test you should run it for 24+ hours to get the "rock stable" claim.
