But how much voltage does your friend require to stabilize it under load unlocked? My older Phenom II 550BE only needed 1.4 from the stock 1.35v. There is something seriously wrong if you need so much voltage. Stock or overclocked?

Yeah, I meant thermal paste. It's decent, but an Arctic Cooling MX-4, MX-2 or Prolimatech PK-1 are far better when it comes to heat transfer. The reason I overclock my NB also is because RAM read, copy and write is much faster, hence a faster and more responsive system. TBH, just clock speed...

What kind of thermal interface did you use? From my experience, 1.45v isn't that much on a Deneb/Thuban with decent cooling. 61c in Prime95 isn't that much, considering it induces quite a lot of stress and heat on the CPU. Maybe you could shave off a degree or two by using some better thermal...
