FYI guys ... something to think about ... I have no clue if this issue has anything to do with corruption though ...

My 790i Ultra SLI behaves like it is an analog thing, not a digital. Everything is kinda random, today it is stable, tomorrow it fails the first test run being cold or fails after 5 hours run - as it wishes.

What is important - I can confirm my subjective opinion with objective test results ... they look pretty strange for me and may be a cause of instability issues.



Please take a look. I had been running Everest Ultimate test as normally, everything was fine and the temps with 100% 4 cores load were around 56-57C. I have decided to stop the test. Normally my temps after it go down to 42-43C, but in this situation they went UP to 65C ... I can guess that it was some kind of Everest Lavalys problem or a parasite oscillation on the CPU. Regarding Everest - it is quite doubtful, such as I have problems with Prime95 failures as well. Then I started full 100% load test again and my temps went DOWN from 65C back to normal 57C under load. I have stopped the test again - temps went up again ... but after some time they went down as it should be - to normal 42C ...
The next test start gave me the normal behavior of the board - up to 57C under load and back to 42C idle without any TEMP UP issue ...

This oscillation - or whatever loads my CPU cores - happens randomly, my guess is that it is a reason of instability, but it is only a guess.
