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.

nubs :rolleyes: :fact:

Personally, I run around 100mhz lower than my Orthos stable speeds daily. I don't get why people think running on the brink of instability makes you a bigger man. I just don't want to put up with any BS during gaming or anything else I do normally, so why introduce the risk for an extra 50 or 100MHz more?

Of course when benching my mentality spins 180 degrees.

Again, just to reinforce what the other guys are saying. SuperPI is bull:banana::banana::banana::banana:, it's not a stability tester but a performance benchmark. ORTHOS is stability testing.

My air cooled E6600 can do 3.9 SuperPI:

But needs quite a bit of voltage for 3.6 ORTHOS:

I wouldn't call anything under 4hours ORTHOS stable.

well...sombrio proved 24/7 stability right there...nice results for a week 24 chip. You got really lucky.

Yes he did prove it, I was just making a point of the difference between SPI stable and ORTHOS stable.

mine's a Week 26 chip BTW. :)

people who know anything about stress testing knows that 1mb superpi is not a strong indicator of system stability.

i dont see where he claims stability in that last post with the superPi screenshot at 3.7GHZ... but he proved the 24 hours of Orthos at 3.3GHZ.

You can try rendering a big/complex scene in Mental Ray/VRay for stability also :p:

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

:eek: what week is that chip??

why are you so stoked on a 3.3ghz e6600? Most E6400s do that with ease

Yeah, on a 965 board. My 6600 at 3.4 on my P5WDH performs better then many of the 63-6400's I've seen at 3.6-3.7 on p5b's.......

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

No, "stable" by definition means proper function. So if a computer boots and never crashes/works perfectly, it is stable. Notice there is nothing in the word "stable" that
refers to what software is being run.
