Well I was doing little bit experiments otherwise I am completely stable (http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showpost.php?p=385744&postcount=139) at 10x250 vcore:1.595 / vdimm:2.6.

What I did last night is try to use vdimm: 2.5 rather than 2.6. Here is the screen shot after 11 complete passes (almost 7 hours):

Do you think it is a "random" error? Error in test #6 in pass 3, and after that 8 more complete passes with no errors - puzzled definitely...

I left my machine for a 9-hour prime marathon - I will check it out later tonight. In the meantime, I would appreciate any comments...

BTW:
@g.skill technician: If you have some settings that is 260+ (prime stable) can you post some of them here (http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41953).

This can be an heat issue. Is the heatspreader hot after 6 hours memtest?

Thanks for the reply. It might be heat - I didn't check the heatspreaders honestly (My brain just stops in the mornings).

Update: When I came home yesterday found out that core#0 crapped out after 7 hours of prime and I stopped myself core#1 around 9 hours. I am positive that "core #0 errorred out due to vcore (not enough juice) rather than vdimm - my core#0 really sucks.

Yesterday I got an old inwin Q500 server case and a new delta fan (130 cfm) - load temps case open: 39-40 (1.6 vcore), load temps case closed: 43-44. Tonight I will test the ram again by using a lower multiplier (8x250 vdimm:2.5)...

please please test it under windows memtest not dos memtest86!

1st without driver, amd CPU MC might not work properly
2nd even with memtest86 stable, i can not gurantee windows stable!
3rd we don't use DOS as OS anymore.

OK, thanks -I will use windows based memtest (hci memtest is fine, right?). Will report back...

PS: thanks for posting ur settings in the street.
