Post a Prime95 screenshot, I can validate my 720 at 4ghz, but it isn't stable at anything over 3.8, even 3.8 itself is only stable for maybe 20min. Validation is for world records, push it to the brink, get the screen, then comp crashes. Not saying yours is crashing, but checking idle temps in bios, when you most likely have CnQ on, would ramp down your speed of your proc and make it run chilly when your doing nothing, which is why it also seems stable in Windows.
But I am willing to bet 20 monopoly dollars that when you game for a while on it, or Prime test it, it isn't going to hold, and your temps will go through the ceiling.
And the difference between yours and his is, you didn't just auto clock itI'm not trying to be mean, but I just guarantee that his isn't stable for even 5min.
i wasnt stable neither, crashed very soon after validation. the highest I treid stable after I dropped in a cooler was 3.8 Ghz 1.425v crunching 24/7 for about a week. I sold the rig after that.

Yeah I figured yours wasn't stable either, I just can't see that high on the stock cooler. But my asking for a Prime95 screenshot has been ignored, so I figure it just isn't stable.

no matter how much air it sucks in, you still have the cable on top of the mosfet. Meaning, air don't hit the mosfets as it should. Forget it it can be atx xta or axt. Cable is still there. We just giving a little tip dude. Nothing else

There's no way that's stable.
Download OCCT: http://www.ocbase.com/download.php?fileext=exe
Install it
Run the CPU:linpack test on default settings.
If it passes an hour, I'll believe it's stable. Until then, it's not a stable clock.
I am willing to bet money it is NOT stable. OCCT will crash, the PC will bluescreen, or it will thermal shutdown.
