So did linpack harm my RIG at 3.6ghz serveral passes?

Thats what i am now scared it may have done and if so then linpack can kiss my royal arse as it is amde to destroy systems not make them happier.. so i am 3.4ghz for now and i am not sure if i want to go to 3.6ghz as if it is unstable in folding and such (which i got to test all over again at 3.6ghz then i will be pissed off for sure) and i will never recommed linpack again if it has harmed my componets.

So maybe in a day or so i will go back to 3.6ghz as i have a new HD coming a 640GB Seagate and i will be doing fresh install all over again for it and so on and i will then figure out what i will do then for ghz and such.

Is 0803 bios the best for you? as you have same memory as me, maybe it is Bios issues after all 1201 and 1306 . maybe even though 1201 passed linpack all those times, maybe the bios became fudged and 1306 has the fudge in it as well.. ???

I am guessing is all and time will tell now.

Maybe i will stick to Orthos 12 hours as i never had issues afterwards when do Orthos 12 hours.???
I had a similar issue which I put down to bios issue. I ran all day at 3.6 as normal then BSOD. Had a hell of a time trying to reload software.

Went to bios 803 and keeping it, reloaded vista 64
Overclock works but have ditched drive expert backup mode (what i was using on 1201 bios) and using IDE mode

Can't afford to get BSOD and keep reloading, but overclocks fine with 803

(disk checked both drives fine)
