I don't think a lot of people realize that F@H is a pretty good indicator of stability as well. With SMP client I have had it shut down while that setting had passed several hour of prime. Add a notch of vcore and it works ok. SMP client pegs all four cores but does not create the heat that Prime small FFt's do. So everyones stability requirements are different. Most folders don't do 8 hours for stability they do 24/7 with the cpu's pegged. I am in total agreement with The Wolf that I want cool first, fast second so I can leave it unattended and not worry. Just my opinion on having to pass 8 hours prime to prove it's stable.

Glad to see someone else post there same findings as me about Folding & prime. Same as with you it passed many hours of prime & or ORTHOS but fail to fold stable. Like you I just added one step up of vcore & its been stable since. So I fail to see were Prime or ORTHOS is a sure sign of stability when passed. I only use Prime & ORTHOS to get what looks to be stable & then use F@H to find its true stability.

If you want to see if your system its truly stable get the SMP client & use that for 24 hours & if it passes your stable.
