I've got issues running SMAL FFT also, crashes within mins. Seems even harder on the CPU than blend does.

I would think there was'nt anything wrong at all with prime95 just the fact that a64's have built in memory controllers on the cpu means prime can fail for either and it's hard to tell..
i need to up my vcore to reach 250 fsb.. even with a below default speed.
that beta prime95 im running seem's to do one thing different ive NEVER noticed in using prime95 for 3+ years..
blend uses 99% cpu and all your ram.. where as before it would use only a little bit of the cpu and lots of ram..
now it's near 100% both because and i guess? they saw that with the mem controller being on the cpu they need to tax that aswell even when testing memory.. which would make memtest86 useless ?
New Winchesters seem to be doing better than the older ones?
You had to ask! I just bought a 3200+ Winnie 0441 at Fry's tonight to find out for sure. I need 2 jobs to keep up. ;)Quote:

w00t, let us know!!!
Hey was that at 200 HTT or were you speeding when you ran the Small FFT??Quote:

Im always speeding :) I'm running mine at 280 x 9 1.55 + 5% right now. As usual SuperPI 32m, Hot CPU Tester 4 (6 hour test) all showed stable - prime blend dumps within 3 hours but Small FFT seems to crash within an hour. At 240 x 10 Small FFT dumped within an hour too. I can blend prime 12+ hours at 240 x 10 so I'm a bit miffed there...Quote:

Done 12 hours stable at 242x10 yesterday though, i think the cpu is just not a good overclocker.
Well as I said I picked up a new CPU last night. I found a 3200+ 0441 date code Winnie at Fry's. I pulled the 3500+ 0437 Winnie that was failing P95 blend. I did nothing but swap the CPU and in fact the MSI K8N Neo 2 fired right up into Windows. I ran P95 all night.
See for yourself:
damn that means a lot... crappy cpu's from AMD wtf are they thinking of???
I've also tried 244x10 runs prime for hours ok, dynno that memcontroller might still bed in or something...
edited: cpu stepping is: cbbfd 0431upcw
that is quite bold assumption.... i don't think that there was entirely something wrong with earlier Winnies as even yours run Prime95 just fine. i would just narrow it down to some "not so great" CPUs, particular combos (CPU - Memory), OC expectations and OC skills.Quote:

Intel sells for the same price chips with similar performance and overclockability and so far none of them have reported a similar problem with prime95.
so i believe the only way out for all of those of you that complain about Prime95 problems is RMA.... just send it back and maybe they will accept it and give you newer ones...
AHH i can't wait for my 3500+. it sucks to because I'm going to have all the parts, minus a heatsink until my RMA get's filled out. DAMMIT.Quote:

3000+ 0441 - A real joy in comparison to the last chip. Have not rebooted my computer in a week, including priming for 48+ hours, gaming, burning dvds, etc. Running solid @ 267x9, default vcore.
I think there is a lot of truth to this thread as I have experienced the frustration first hand. The first CPU must of been defective in someway as all other hardware with the exception of the CPU is the same.

It won't Prime at stock speeds? Or are you running a high HTT? So far my results are at stock speeds and memory timings. I did have voltages bumped a bit.Quote:

Yes dnotiss, overclocking has begun. ;)
andy why not try overclocking?Quote:

Gotta love that!! Wait till the watchdogs see that. It will be torn to bits in a spin fest. :)Quote:

Oh yes, doing 9 x 270 HTT with memory at 1:1, priming as I type. :banana:
andyOCZ
That's encouraging. Now to find a late week CPU..
Joe Camel
That's discouraging. Is that @ stock speeds, or overclocked?

How are the temps?
I'm using the cooling in my sig, the room is rather warm but idle is ~31c and load is about 45c max - the temps have never been an issue with the winnies for me, highest load I've seen is about 52c (at 260 x 10 1.55 +10% which wasn't stable) with idle always between ~31c and ~34c.
I've reached my cpu limit i think... 246x10 prime stable.
Can't do more than that primestable, although it can do 255x10 running windows, games and all.
Seems that it will be up for sale soon 8-).
