Yipster,
I started a project last week to build a surface stability map of the v1.0 bios.
Basically, I've been setting the CPU GTL (Y-axis) and FSB terminator (X-axis) and running OCCT. The z-axis is a stability precentage based on a 30 minute OCCT run and computed as follows:
Stability = (Test Duration - Run time to CRASH) *100 / Run Time to CRASH
Where Test Duration = 1800s (30 Minutes) and
Run Time to Crash = the time reamining in OCCT when a crash occurs (in seconds)
A test that runs for 30 minutes achieves a 100% score. A BSOD or failure to post receives a 0% score.
I'm about half way through the first surface map. It should be interesting to see how these to settings interact with respect to stability. I'll post the results sometime around the end of the week.
