Any reason I can pass OCCT Ram test, OCCT CPU Test, Prime Blend Test, Prime Small FFT Test, but not pass OCCT Mixed test (Fails after 2.0 hours)?

4x1 Muskin ddr-1199 5-5-5-12 (2.28v)
Q6600 450x7

DRAM Static Ctrl-Disabled
Trans Boost-Enabled (0)

CPUv-1.375v (1.35v everest)
CPUPLL-1.58v (It was on auto, setting to 1.58v allowed me to pass all other tests stable.
NBv-1.59v (1.58v everest, When I move it down to 1.57 I get code "4" error, when I move it up it fails the test around 15-45min, 1.59 seems most stable)
FSBvt-1.3v (1.31v everest)
SBv-1.05v (1.06v everest)

SB-1.5v

Strange. How long did you run the CPu and RAM tests separately?

I ran prime small fft for 8+hours, blend for 6+hours, OCCT CPU for 4+hours, Ram for 6+hours... OCCT Mixed fails around 2hours for some reason. I tried upping my CPUPLL to 1.6v but it failed after 15min.. when I go back home monday I'll try to lower it a bit and see how it does.

Don't know what setting to touch though.. why would it fail on the mix but pass the other two? I don't think heat is an issue considering it (NB/CPU) does not get any hotter than when I run each test separately.

I was just wondering why do the tests fail when try to up my NB or FSBvt? Temps are not out of the norm so why is it so sensitive. I figured I could up my FSB to 1.5, NB to 1.65 and bring it down from there... but that fails pretty quick too. This setup I have currently have 1.3fsbvt(why does anandtech say minimum of 1.5?? for 440+fsb) and 1.59nb is the most stable this OC has been so far, but fails that damn mixed test after 2 hours.
