hey guys, got a e8400, got a few questions on stability checking:
-Any specific settings for memtest86+?
-And after testing in memtest which prime test should I run? large ffts since memtest has tested the ram already?
another newbie question: is it silly to run a e8400 @ 3.6 (9x400) with c1e and eist on?

Still test with small FFT and Blend at least. That's what I do to ensure full stability.Originally Posted by plion

Large FFTs tests the memory, so you definitely want to run Small FFTs now if you ran memtest and looped tests 5 and 8 for ram stability. Small FFTs will push the CPU and see if the overclock is stable. Running C1E and EIST overclocked may not work properly. I'm assuming you are air cooled. Try it and see if you board works properly with it.
