you are fustrating yourself over WHAT!?...being OCCT or P95 stable!...if you are not folding or playing heavy cpu demanding games, you are wasting electrical energy and time...it proves nothing to me...use the wPrime bench...if you hack that you are fairly stable....if anything happens after proving wPrime is valid then it is a memory timing issue.

stable is an elusive word...each of us have different definitions!...i say stable is: what ever you do and your OS doesn't freeze; get BSOD; programs close out on their own; random reboots or games drop back to your desktop.

Well not quite true there about not being P95 or Orthos prime stable as it must be stable for at least 12-24hrs.

I have builds run P95 for say 10 hours and fail... i say ok fuk it i will run it... and yeppers... bam games froze up, and even at times when surfing the net the damn thing would freeze up and running 3dmark 06 PASSED with flying colors.....and so did 3dmark 05... but 3dmark 03 Locked her up.

Well the thing was .... the CPU needed more voltage just a hair more and then i ran prime 95 for 18hrs before i decided she was good enough.... guess what i am still running strong on that build... the one i am using now...

I have had many ppl in the past about P95 not being stable, well guys all i can say is if it can't do at least 12-24hrs... basically 12-18hrs stable.. then it is no good in my book for 100% stability.

Now if your just a surfer on the net and play the odd game.... GAWD why bother overclocking at all.... ???
