55 min= stability not proven

Uh, he shows you nearly one hour of prime, and you say its not good enough?:stick:

This isnt IprimeMySystemForeverSytems.org.

Nearly an hour is stable enough...

somrio, that's not the right speed in that screen shot. Where's the Orthos for the 3.6+ screenshot you showed us?

I've had "stable overclocks" crap out many times in between 1-2 hours. I'm not trying to rain on his parade but thats not how I test for stability, guess it could be different for others.

yep, I've had prime crap out after about 75 minutes, another time after 3 hours. I like to do overnight ... if it can go overnight it's stable enough for me.

Or just play games and see if it crashes. Oblivion, FEAR, Prey, HL2 with that massive 1.2 GB texture mod.

Well I have a Vapo LS, and a dual cascade, but they are too noisy for 24/7. I'm going to bench one of these with a cascade, but for daily use I am going water.

By "kit" you mean Mach II 775 kit? :confused:

if you can run yours games, apps, etc without problems, then you are stable enough. dont worry about meeting some guys arbitrary definition of stability. you dont have to "prove" stability to anyone. this is not a competition, and nobody is giving prizes or paying for the rig that can run prime or whatever for 85 hours. its just a hardware forum.

I do agree too

I already had just 2-3 hours priming stable and then crashed when playing games such Oblivion,Titan quest or Prey ( ramdom reboots )

Never happened again when I finally found my 24h orthos stable ....:toast:

I do agree too if you can run stuff without pbs , why searching more stability

Too noisy? :)

One one hand: Maxtor disks, on the other the mach II, I use watercooling when mach's not possible... For benching - I use waterchilling on gfx, and LN2 on CPU.. Next run will be with DICE on GFX though :p:

And yeah, its a LGA775 kit, it'll be here by tuesday.

This is my experience as well. I don't run Orthos and Prime just to run them. They tell me exactly what I need to know. I can say in my C2D experiences, if I can't pass Orthos, I WILL have gaming issues...it may take 1-2 hours to crash to desktop, but it WILL happen. Orthos is just an easy way to let me know what I need to play my games stable.

I't not some pissing contest or something. It's an invaluable tool.

Hey, can you give more info on that texture mod?

For me, most games (the most CPU intensive task I do) only load my CPU at a max of like 60%, so if I'm single instance prime stable for an hour or so, and dual prime for at least 20 min I'm happy. Although that doesn't mean it crashes after 20 min, just that I stop it. I'm not going to raise the vcore several notches higher just for 24/7 prime, personally. I can't see a relevant reason for the every day computing that I do

thats a week 24

your pretty lucky because only weeks 25-26 overclocks that well @ 1.35v

heh, but for real stability.... I had crashes @ 8, 15 etc...

I consider it 24 hour stable, when I run it 24 hours :P

I AGREE !!!!

SOMBRIO just run orthos several hours to test 24/7 stability....

SOMBRIO corre o Orthos muitas horas mesmo para testar a estabilidade 24/7, e duvido que não de erros no orthos a essa velocidade.

You guys wanna see 24/7 Orthos stability?!?...

8 hours!!... E6600@3.3Ghz, 1.375v :toast:

OMG! At the PCDIGA forum you used the same screenshot and in your post says that you are running @ 1.4v vcore. Here you says you are running 8 hours orthos stable @ 1.37v vcore, less 0.63v. Why? :)

Why hide the numbers under the barcodes?

And run Sp2004 for atleast 24hours to claim stable. I seen many fail after both 5 and 9 hours and so on. :slapass:

30 minutes is better than nothing, but to claim this as 24/7, as he did, is really far fetched - anybody who is folding or doing similar 24/7 jobs will tell you that.

Simple... Now, a few days after i tried again lower the vCore and i found that it's stable @1.375v...The same 8 hours run has other stability test.

Tried 1.35v at the same speed and the system run well, but not more then 10 minutes run with Orthos.

1.375v is 100% stable!

Thanks, but i believe that the CPU isn't the real responsable for such performance/power ratio. It's the board P5W DH that real makes the diference, better to say, it's the chipset NB, i had some luck buying this board.

I saw that some guys having diferent performance with P5W DH, most of them think it's the CPU, but is the internal latency of NB chipset that real makes the diference.

sombrio and JohnMike could you try all the same settings with the ram at 1:1 instead of 4:5?

I have the P5W DH and E6600 with 2GB HZ at 1:1 and 4-4-4-12 at 378 x 9 and 1.500 vCore with all other voltages stock and I was able to let Orthos run overnight stable (7.5 hours) with the case closed on air cooling with a Scythe Ninja. Also, doesn't SuperPI runs faster with ram @ 1:1 vs ram @ 4:5?

I am interested to try your 370 x 9 and lower the voltage setting so it's safer for 24/7 use. I'll try it out tonight and see what voltage I need for stability at 370 x 9.

no way. I've had prime run for 6 hours error free and it would still crash in PCMark04 as well as in games.

24 hours straight of prime95, then it can be considered 24/7 stable.

Why is Orthos the tool for someone to see is a system is stable? I never use Orthos or Prime, i have my E6600 at 3.6Ghz with 1.45v, for over a month now and it never crashed, what i do most with my computer is play Americas Army, never had a single problem, so for what i care my system is fully stable. If i run Orthos and it crashes 10 secs. after, big deal, so what? Just leave Orthos for the ones that use it.
If your system is stable for a 2001 benchmark and it cant run a 2006, but if what you wanted was to run a 2001, then your system is stable.

Thats the worst BS of today.

Stable = Uncrashable
Not just bench-stable, and certainly not just for 01SE...
