Xsplit+gaming is the perfect benchmark to leverage the architectural strengths of Vishera. It's simultaneous gaming, recording, encoding and broadcasting.
After giving each of these settings time to settle in and F@h for a week I've determined that they each need 1.46875v to remain stable. I shouldn't be surprised I suppose. Also, the benchmarks are really close and I can't give the lead at either setting. I wish I could go to Austin to speak to an engineer about this, or just find a FX-8350 there that would show me that some will run higher frequencies at lower voltages stable F@h. Right now I just realize how intense F@h really is. No complaints, I'm just pointing out the rarity of such high voltages at lower end frequencies that I've seen at other websites that claim stability.

This isn't working. F@h coughed up again after 24 hours so I'm wondering if I need to adjust my Digi+ VRM in some way. I'm clueless at this point.
I'm reverting my bios settings back to the beginning and starting to log my Digi+ settings. Here they are.

The rest are defaults.
Does anyone else do F@h with this type of setup, and if so what are your experiences?
I have a thread going here if anyone is interested. So far my current settings are reduced to this ...trying to get temps down atm:

F@h ran fine at these settings for months and this weekend I had to bump up to 1.46875v on the cpu. Must be the wu type or something. This is pushing my current cooling system to the limits. Soon I will be making improvements in that respect.
Trying new settings w/ lower DRAM voltage (testing a lower CPU voltage):
