IntelBurnTest - The new stress-testing program

[Razmatazz]

There's also nothing saying that random Prime errors aren't just that...and not very dependable. I'm still inclined to stick with IBT for a good while, but i will still be running other stresstesting apps alongside IBT for stability verification for all of those nay-sayers out there.

Could be...However, when I increase FSB from 400 to 425 MHz and remain IBT stable but Prime95 goes from completely stable to errors inside of a minute, this does make me quite apprehensive.

Raz,

such a harsh effect looks extremely unusual. 25 MHz are nothing for a 45 nm quadcore. I've had a Maximus Formula board and now the P5Q3, so I can roughly say about your P5E3 that this should not happen. And by now it looks to me that this is a general reaction of intel systems that run DDR3 RAM. My P45 is a dieshrink compared to your X38, yet, it seems so familar.

This really looks more like an issue of Prime 95, frankly.
