*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

My apologies, it was not my intention to start a flame war, i never said there was ever a bulletproof test.
All i'm trying to say is that prime is fully replaced by intelburntest since it does a good job upping the heat by many degree from prime, and the vdropp is dropped even further than prime, so why would you even bother use prime? That at least is my opinion.

EDIT:
And maybe i should elaborate my previous post, indeed i stress tested prime 48h, but after the countless failed intebultests, i ran prime again, maybe a couple hours only. to my surprise it was fully stable, and then i reran intelburntest, it failed. And to ensure it, i did that one more time, same results, prime succeeded, intelburntest failed. To get it stable i raised my vcore, both was then stable.
I have used prime for quite some time, maybe just like you, it's standard to test your overclocked computer with prime just as you say. But now something better is out, and seeing people taking prime-shots and with the experience i had with intelburntest for overclocking (not a single computer build with it has been crashing even once) makes me mad. And before with prime-stable overclocks, sometimes but not always it just crashed and i had to start looking at voltages and and temps all over.
