So I'm pretty sure the IMC is what failed based on the error code debugger and I think it was starting to fail over time as BSODs became more frequent. But it was definitely the cpu as I had already incorrectly blamed the mainboard (replaced through RMA... my bad ASRock) and then tried different RAM first. As soon as I got the replacement cpu all was well again.
I was running it at 4.9GHz @ 1.45V on water with default pll and full LLC control on my ASRock Z77 Extreme9. I had it water cooled and the temps stayed in the 30's most of the time and when I was really pushing it they would sometimes make it into the low 60's.
With this voltage and low temp I thought it would be fine but I guess not...
Anyone care to comment on my mileage? As always YMMV
