MaeoTTR - I'm curious, I can understand how a failing 3D benchmark would be a good indication of instability (like the Crysis benchmark you mentioned) but how can the installation/uninstallation of certain files (like the large .forge files you mentioned) be an indication of system instability? I'm asking because I truly don't know, it seems to me that would be caused by some other type of issues? I ask because at the moment I just finished a 12+hrs Prime run (blend test with no errors) along with many different 3D Benchmark runs which also ran with no problems so I want to somehow test for the issues you mentioned above (but I don't know how to "install/uninstall assassin's creed from an iso on disk, do that multiple times in a row (5 times at least))? I also don't know what a "crc" is but I'd like to know so I can test for it. Is there any pre-made benchmarks that tests these things on a whole (like Custom PC's downloadable benchmark which seems to test archiving, multi-tasking, compressing, image editing, etc...)?

At the very least I'm pretty happy with being Prime and 3D stable (as its pretty much the only testing I've ever done when testing for stability)! Especially since just a few days ago I couldn't raise my FSB to anything over the default 1333Mhz or run my DDR3 to anything above th default 1333Mhz! Last but not least should I post my current settings along with some screenshots showing the benchmarks, would that be helpful for anyone (so maybe they could try these settings on their own boards)? I'd be happy to do so as I've found reading others peoples settings to be very informative! As soon as I figure out some benchmarks (ones that MateoTTR recommends to test for the above mentioned issues) I am going to install my QX9770, I can't wait to throw it in and start testing as I haven't run a quad core in this board yet! Thanks a bunch MateoTTR for all your help and time with this!
