if i may make a few comments.
my four 8120s are all stable well above 55c and up to 4.9ghz
all have large voltage steps at 4.0, 4.4 and 4.8
i have roasted a couple above 75c.
all will run at or above 1.66 core volts
none can i cool above 1.6 core volts.
all will run 24/7 stable well into the range from 62c to 68c.
I find staying below 62c and 1.55 volts to keep them all alive.
62c limits me to 4.8ghz as at 4.9ghz it spikes a little to close to 70c for my comfort.
any and all this takes 9 fans.
any and all, or none of this may be of use to you.

That's good info, +1.

Well, while I find this to be true, I can't get above 4.3ghz without a huge bump in voltage
I find this too, stable on stock voltage (1.30V set, 1.33V actual load with LLC) until just above 4.1Ghz, then +0.025V (1.325V set) brings it to 4.2Ghz and another 0.05V (1.375V set) for 4.3Ghz, then heat becomes a problem trying for 4.4Ghz.
