    Then a full round of Prime95 which takes 11-12 hours...that my way of being 100% sure.
    Why not throw Everest Stability tester into the mix as well

    All I do is put 3Dmarks into a loop of about 6 to 10 loops and let it run , if it doesnt crash then thats stable enough for me. I rather use my computer for playing games, rather just constantly testing it for stabillity.

    While I kind of understand Richard Dower's concerns about stability, I'm not into hardcore testing myself, which can be very time consuming - not to mention frustrating sometimes.
    1H OCCT is enough for me. And if it passes another hour of Crysis heavy shooting, then it's fine for my everyday tasks

    Anyone interested in buying my X38-DQ6? I'll let it go for $200, I'm fed up with the RAM instability issues issues I have with anything other than the F3 BIOS... gonna get an Abit IP35 I think.

    PM me if interested - I have all the original packaging etc, it's basically in new condition.
