    I don't have Opteron CPU but I use this method for two years (until this moment).
    My samples as are Bartons, one XP, one 754 and two 939s...

    You have to calculate your CPU wattage --> see in Bible's package CPU wattage (read manual first for link etc)...
    Well 31C is not dangerous temp in idle.
    First of all I don't know your cooling so what can I guess?
    Ambient temperature?
    I use thermistor and multimeter always LOL my mainboard shows 48C at full load but thermistor never show over 32 - 33C.
    Anyway give us more info.

    Mate S&M is an AMD CPU killer if you run it at 100%....
    The S&M author suggests 75% utilization.
    See in S&M help file.

    If your CPU passed Normal FPU test (utilization 75 - 80%) then it is 32M stable.
    I have not tested my RAM with S&M so I have no idea....
    Keep in mind all systems do behave similar; I mean that for your system maybe OCCT is more sensitive instead of Prime95 but for my system not.
    But in general I suggest StressPrime2004 instead of Prime95 cos for some AMDs Prime95 crashes immediately (I saw this many times for Bartons)...

    Primoz if you can inform me some data I can help you more...
    I mean if you have found other (MSF, Vcore) pairs.
    If yes please post a table and run O/c analyzer exponents to see what is going on...
    Your questions were OK cos I must prepare here a "Stability testing tutorial" in the future...
