What's Your Phenom II 955 Temps?

I got a 955 B.E. a few months ago and have been very happy with it. I've never overclocked it and just used the stock heatsink and fan......until now. The other day I decided to run Prime95 and see how the chip held up. Within about 10 minutes 2 of the cores failed due to excessive temps. After an hour it was down to 1 core but running stable in the 40 degree range. Anyhow, I recently ordered the Hyrdro Series H50 by Corsair......still waiting for the AM3 bracket to come, which is really stupid on Corsair's part. Has anyone else used the H50 on a 955 or 965? If so how much were you able to overclock and still remain stable? I've seen up to 3.8ghz on air with the 955. Wondering if 4.1 or 4.2 can be reached with the H50.

You might want to do some further testing. At stock speeds the 955 should never fail Prime95 with the stock cooler. If it does then something is wrong.

Running at 3.7Ghz-3.8Ghz Prime95 will only get my PhII 940 up to about 55C and I can go for days with no failures. (Zalman 9700 Cooler. It is a different chip but the same architecture so basically the same as the 955 when both are running at the same clockspeed.)

I just hooked up the Hydro Series H50 yesterday. I used a Scythe 80CFM fan in place of the stock Corsair fan. I ren prime 95 overnight with the CPU still on stock settings. When I woke up this morning 2 of the cores had failed but they had ran for a lot longer then they did before. Yesterday I had also tried to do some overclocking but could not keep the CPU stable at all. I kept getting BSODs.
