The_Man12 :
That voltage seems a bit too high for me. I have an 8370, not OC'ed, it operates at 4.3Ghz with 1.260 Volts. You might want to consider reducing the voltage, as it can affect temperatures. Also, I assume you're using OverDrive to track your temperatures. Install Open Hardware Monitor so you can check the socket temperature. The maximum socket temperature is 70C, and the core temp should ideally stay below 55C for better longevity.
You just received a defective chip, and I'm guessing you're not stable at that voltage since it's lower than the original specs.
1.4 is quite low. My 8320 at 5Ghz stays stable for about 1.55 seconds.
I'm not joking! It's been this way since October 2015, and it hasn't ever blue-screened or caused any issues. It should handle Prime95 for 24 hours without a problem.
So, I guess you're not too concerned because I have a chip that requires less voltage, lol.
Hey, now that I think about it, 1.4v isn't too bad, sorry for any confusion earlier. I didn't mean to mix things up.
you might be only observing the stock pre-set on the chip voltage, but checking the voltage in cpu-z while running prime will show a much higher value.
