until i was just playing supcom for about an hour and had a ton of units on the screen and it reboot crashed. =/ =/ i tweaked a couple volts and when i go to bed tonight i might just leave it blend testing...
I think the only way to test this boards longterm stability is with an overnight blend test. I can run small fft's or large fft's all night with my E6400 @ 3.7GHz & my E6600 @ 3.7GHz but when you put the 2 together & run a blend it will reboot.

The longest I have been able to hold 3.7GHz down for with this board is 3 hours on a CPU that has done 3.7GHz on a DFI 975X/G for several months & its even done 3.8GHz once on the 975 & once on my ICFX3200 for an OCDB entry so I know the CPU can do it.
