I'm with you dude...if I can fold or do the WCG and play UT2004 and UT3 without crashing then I am quite happy. I also use my rig for DL'ing and editing music/vid files and to date I have had ZERO issues with any of the tasks it is intended for. All of this Prime95 for 24hours with small ffts is crazy. The stress on the board is at least as bad as cranking the volts and doing 10min 32M Pi passes and 10s 1M Pi passes for several minutes, if not worse.
