damnit, 1 hour 20 minutes!! why does it always happen around this time

I think your chip is just starving for voltage. Try lowering your overclock by a few mhz (20-50) and see how much further you get with prime or raise your voltage by .01-.02v and see how far that gets you. Or keep messing with the GTL settings and hope to get lucky.

bro, why is your NB GTL so high? Try 84 83 84 GTLs with your current VTT at 1.335v and lower that vNB to around ~1.4v. vPLL seems to high, and Host Slew rate should be set to weak unless you disable the GTL Ref. Droop Control enabled?

But i have 4gb of ram, will 1.4v nb really be enough?
The only reason i can hit an hour on prime was because i turned host slew rate to strong, i really dont feel like turning it back to weak!
Droop control is on, ive been told that it kills your cpu really quick if you turn it off or something...

::edit:: just tried 1.493 nb, 84 nb gtl... Windows wont boot, it even gives me the 'a recent hardware change might have been the cause' boot menu, the first time ive seen that one...changing the nb voltage to 1.555v and windows boots when the gtl is at 90 but it gives me funky messages like this one about windows activation service couldnt start and windows goes all 640x480 on me and stuff, or some host process has been closed and when i click on ok it gives me a bsod... i think that it simply needs 1.6v , no other way round that
