well the good thing about OCCT is it does NOT take hours to test...i noticed if i am not stable i either get a problem in the first 20mins...40mins into is another milestone where it often crashes.... If it runs an hour i know i already its halfway-stable. If it runs an hour i can be pretty sure it would run 2 or 3 hours also. Just my oberservation.Quote:

Guess it doesn't like XP x64.
It might have something to do with the sesnors, as I'm having trouble running it on Vista 32-bit. Unfortunately, it's been a while since W1z updated it last. :(
i had my FSB/Ram a notch up, where i *know* that it's not stable.
Systool run 30mins or so...didnt complain at all.
OCCT/MEM gave me an error 1min already...so did windows memtest...after 3 mins.
Not so sure about systool :)
I get this same issue with firfox now. I think running my rig stock caused some issues installing vista, so I'll be reformatting after I'm done OCing. Anyone else have issues like window processes crashing, and nfts.sys crashing? My memory is OCCT 10 hour stable on RAM test.Quote:

what OCCT setting? Did you run MIX, and i assume OCCT 2.0.0b.Quote:

Edit: hmm...you say ram-test..what does CPU test say?
I did the RAM test for infinite over 6-7 hours, and mix for over 10 (both I stopped). I'm using 2.0.0A. I usually crash hours after booting, usually only when I'm surfing or some crap. I also get windows processes randomly shutting down (Defender, host process, DMI, etc), But I can play HL2 cinemtic through the whole thing.
what you runnin you sb volts zanza?Quote:

What are you guys doing with your SB's :D
I'm running stock 1,5V, no problems with RAID whatsoever. Maybe it's because I don't have a CF setup (does the 2nd, 3rd etc card even go by way of the SB like with SLI on NV mobos?)
im also running raid0 & a single HD on the SB controler without the need to add SB voltage from stock. o/cing wise it does nothing for me.
if i remember rightly the SB voltage also affects the cpu ? :shrug:
I tried stock SB and I failed OCCT Ram test on infinite in 28 minutes.
I dunno if you can relate that ONE experience to the sb volts, but only if you would ran a controlled x number of tests.Quote:

I too have random lockups eve running at stock. Usually for me it's when I'm browsing, but it's even happened while using Photoshop. CPU wasn't even loaded at the time.
BTW, I'm running a CFX system and four-drive raid array, but I've been using stock SB voltage, too.
Has anyone compared the 400/800 setting with 333/667 for 1:1 FSB:MEM ratio?
Does it change any internal timings in the NB?
Since 3DMark Vantage came out yesterday, I've been running the system overclocked to 3.6GHz. Ironically, the system seems a lot more stable and I haven't had any random lockups (knock on wood).Quote:

I've started testing on DFI LT X38-T2R motherboard with 1/11 official bios and they overclock very easily just by setting memory to 571Mhz 5-5-5-15 and vdimm to 2.10v I was already booting and memtest86+ v2.01 stable!
@585Mhz 5-5-5-15 2.10v
Quick jump to 585Mhz 5-5-5-15 at 2.10v still was easily quad Super Pi 32M stable (hyperpi v0.99 gui wrapper) and single Super Pi 32M stable :)

Using setFSB from 595Mhz 5-5-5-15 at 2.23v in windows I slowly pushed the FSB and thus the memory clocks to 610Mhz 5-5-5-15 at 2.23v for max validation :)

Straight boot from bios managed to push the 4GB Corsair PC3-9136C5DF to 595Mhz 5-5-5-15 at 2.23v for single Super Pi 32M pass. Have yet to try quad super Pi or higher vdimm :)

i think this will be usefull for 45mn cpus
that table for DFI LT X48 right ? is it same as LT X38 ?Quote:

eva2000 did you test max fsb yet for the board?
Which % do you find better - 61 or 63 for 45nm DualCore CPU ?
you gotta test n find out every board n every cpu reacts differentQuote:
