What application do you use for stability testing?

I use OCCT but i always get an error.

"Calculation error detected", voltages?

Dual core gold stndard used to be Orthos.
Now with quads more prevalent Prime 95 25.6 covers quad or dual.
With either test small fft's stress the cpu but for overall system stability blend must be passed as it covers cpu plus ram overclock stressors.
I just do duals so orthos blend is preferable to me since it shows real time elapsed for testing.
Some will say 1 hr, some 4 hrs, some 12 hrs testing - but as long as the time span covers the length of time of your longest task that you ever do it should suffice.

With the foxconn mars you need to run cpu-z during load to see at what vdroop actual vcore you get.
Also real temp as it is more accurate for 45nm chips.

I bet you get a P95 error too if OCCT wont pass....

P95 error? What do you mean?

Error code 4, that it says.

kinda like this myself http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=197835

if that passes then 1 hour of occt if that works then 12 hours of orthoes so far if it passes intel burn then its good .. really like intel burn for ram testing nice & quick :)

Yesterday, i tried OCCT for a costum(2hours) test, after 1 hour and 5 minutes, code error 4 again. Anyway, code 4 means "calculation detected". What seems to be the problem? Voltage?

running ram speed too high ?
or not enough cpu volts probbly need 1 tick
