no isnt for that ...its just cuz for normal use i am not interested to wait 12/18/24 hr priming to check if i am RS...JUST if i got some bsod or crashes ill find the rocksolid state...then perhaps get a prime crash after 5 hr(its happened to me) i prefer make some double sPi (16 or 32 m) to find an average stability as far as i stay 1 week at 4 ghz with 1.29 and now at 4.35 and 1.39v and not crash or bsod ...well if ur chip does it easy u have nice chip also...

I do have a decent chip, and you do not need to wait hours, there is a WORLD of difference between SuperPI stability and 8h Orthos, why not do what I do, go somwhere in between, check for an hour or 2, if u pass that then u r pretty safe but I have a feeling ur running ur chip way out of its league, my chip can run SuperPI but fail ORTHOS/Prime within 10 mins, meaning, NO GOOD! clock ur chip, check it with ORTHOS for 30-45 mins, then run some other stuff if u want, but not checking for even 30 mins is weak, and if u cant pass 20 mins Orthos/Prime your WAY out, follow? I am not trying ot rain on your parade AT ALL - but dude,your burying your head in the sand by not even posting ORTHOS stability, imo, we both know whats gonna happen, which is why you ar enot posting Orthos/Prime pics.

This is how we compare stability.
