Thanks OP, great post.

I'm currently torture-testing my 2600K (installed in an ASUS P8Z68 V-Pro). I found this sticky thread in the Anandtech forums to be of great use regarding stress-testing: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2195063

The OP in that thread actually did a in-depth analysis on the relationship between temperature and voltage requirements over here: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2200205. Very interesting stuff. The key point is that higher temperatures feed back into your voltage requirements, such that the lower your temps are, the less vcore you'll actually need to run at the same frequency.
