I share your pain. My 2nd S2E was Prime stable for 6 hours and froze when I tried to watch a movie. I ran Prime again and it stopped in less than 1 min. no matter what GTL combination. I hope it doesn't happen to you. Good luck.

OMG, so I tried -61mv on core 1 which is the one that gives me more trouble and it froze after 3 hours. I restarted, selected -58mv for core 1 (which lasted 13 hours of prime) and after 5 mins of use I was about to post an answer here, it froze

Why!

Slim I know you have tested every bios there is but 703 will save you soooo much work, Also what I have found with the SIIE is that you can be prime stable but not 3D stable or Media player stable or any other kind of stable.. I keep posting my results I am rock solid at 4.2 1770 linked and synced but I can rock 1800 no problem on QX9650 just the divider didn't yield 4.2 which is where I want to run my processor.. I get awesome read write and copy as well I think 12,000 on read..

Right now, all my hopes are on 0703. Yes, I also see weird that after 13 hours, you just freeze or restart. I will try 0703 and will see how this goes. I also want to ask something, can an OC be unestable even if you have the right GTLRef, but too much let say vcore or VTT?

This works for me at 1800 or 450x9 at 4ghz as well

Thanks for the settings

You should never use PLL Auto. Never trust it!

I know

Wait, whats wrong about leaving it in auto? I always get 1.52 in PLL according to PC Probe II.

One last question, I havent turn off my pc since the last 2 weeks. I mean, I only restart it when I freeze while OC but since I build it 2 weeks ago, its been running with no resting time. My NB temps are on 62c and Im wondering why is so high, probably because I havent leave my pc off and its been getting tortured with no brake time? I know of people getting affected because of NB temps...
