FWIW, before removing the IHS, it took 1.55Vcore to run at 9x300 stable under Prime95 Torture. Now that it is gone and the AS5 has for the most part, settled in, I can run 9x300 at 1.42Vcore. That's measured at the socket, needless to say. I have managed to run either 9.5x310 or 10x300 at 1.65Vcore, again stable under P95 Torture. At that voltage and those speeds, the core temp rises and stabilizes at 42C.
I can't wait for my G5 to ship (ahem!) so I can see how much it gains me.
