Longest Linx/Prime test runs?

I was wondering if there was anyone who bought a 2600K who put it through a stress test at the maximum stable OC on high voltage (1.5v+) for not a day or two, but a solid month, maybe even back in January. I'm thinking of a bet with a buddy of mine who cherry-picked his 2700K on eBay. He's stable @ 5.1 clocks @ 1.42v, but he paid over $500 for the CPU. He's rocking a stock H100, while I'm using a Megashadow with Aerocool Sharks push/pull. I'm at 4.8 @ 1.41v, but I also have a Ceton tuner in there which puts out a lot of heat, and a video card which puts out volcano heat. I have a better case than he does (Corsair 400 vs Xigmatek orange whatever), but I want to beat this guy's OC. I will not put fans in my side door, and I don't want to flip my case topsy-turvy ala the Silverstone Air-Penetrator rage. The bet is linx @ 24 hours, but I'm willing to put a crazy amount of power through this chip, as long as the chances of it frying are slim. Reading the other thread (Have you fried a CPU?), I'm one of the few who have killed an Intel CPU with an aggressive OC.

Any Thoughts?

Would I do better by removing two DIMMs? That used to be the weak link back in the day; the memory controller. I have never noticed it with SB though.
