It's not the world's highest overclock but it's good and stable at default voltage and runs under 60C which was what I was hoping for.

[Jedi2155]

No kidding! I've always felt that 30mins to an hour with Orthos blend tells me if a system is gonna be stable.

I have mine running the distance now just to see if a 3200MHz overclock on a DS3 and E6400 is gonna make this "standard" with normal voltage.

Agreed!! My brother yell's at me for leaving the 17 watt flourescent bathroom light on.....

you are kidding me right? orthos or prime can fail after 3-5 hours.. happened to me several times..

30 mins is nothing

How do you expect to prove stability 24/7 with an hour of blend? First of all, I am a big fan of small FFT for processor testing, although this thread doesn't require it. And second, I have stress tests fail at 4-5+ hours all the time.

If you are going to run an overclock all day long, you better be damn sure it is absolutely stable... that is, unless you don't care if your registry gets corrupted, or games crashing, etc, etc...

For myself personally, I run small FFT's for processor stability, then Blend for system stability. For my OC to be everyday acceptable to run my rig at, it must pass 24hrs of each test. Otherwise you better have a good backup plan- I recommend Acronis 9.0.

It's the best $29 I spent in my "computing" life. Completely clone a 320gb hdd in 5 minutes.... MBR and all. Not like Partition Magic which does not copy the MBR. If you remove the drive you install PM on, the other drive will not boot because the MBR is missing. With Acronis, as soon as you are done cloning, unplug your old drive then restart.... new drive is perfectly cloned every time. Keep one drive unplugged at all times.... re-clone monthly to keep things up to date.

This process saves a lot of time if you ever corrupt an OS because you pushed it too far.

Here is the 8 hour shot since my last one was only 6 hours I am still running so I might give you a 12 hour shot too:

12 hours is enough im stopping orthos now to get back to my folding...

[[XC] 4X4N]

Just thought I'd add to the database. I hate running prime, wastes cpu cycles
Temps with orthos are about 7-8 higher than when folding.

[cdelong]

anyone think an automatic virus/firewall/windows update could hose a OC in the middle of a run??

The last two nights my OC fails and I think it is co-incidental with a Kerio auto update in the middel of the night.

If your system is not 100%stable then any automatic update or pretty much anything could bring it down like a house of cards.

I wonder how many guys with "orthos stable" systems deal with crashes on a regular basis. I don't know about others but I can't stand crashes of any sort.. especially when I am in the middle of a game. I love to overclock but if it's not stable then it's just not worth it to me.

[shifty803]

Yeah I think hours and hours of a game is a better test than orthos/prime in the end. But Prime and Orthos can be verified, whereas 8 hours straight of BF2142 cannot.

The only thing that crashes on my system is f***ing ventrilo because of the SoundMax drivers. Had to order a new sound card so that I don't have to deal with ASUS driver nonsense. The mobo is a great clocker, but their driver situation is quite frankly unacceptable.

[JoeBar]

System crashes are a matter of numerous things. Orthos just tests cpu and ram. U may game for 10 hours without a crash and orthos fails within 30' or the other way round.
Games however stress cpu way less than orthos...

[skitlets]

I run Orthos AND game at the same time to check my stability.

Not the greatest overclock, i was running 3.4ghz (1.45v Bios) for a couple months but the temps were too high (i.e. high 70s under 100% load). So in the meantime until better cooling and/or thermal grease arrives this is it.

Cheers.
