Woohooo! I just passed 100 runs of IntelBurnTest (13 hours) with these settings:
Vcore: 1.531v
SPP: 1.5v
CPU FSB: 1.45v (I hadn't had this up to 1.45v before, it must have needed to be)
NF200: 1.4v
GTLREF: 105, 105, 100, 100
That equates to... 1500 Prime95 hours, so I think I'm stable
It's great that you've gotten to that point, but don't rely on just this program. It's great to find errors quickly, but it's just one piece of the puzzle. My system was 60+ cycles of linpak stable and it still failed prime at 5:30.Originally Posted by XxDeadlyxX

Ah ok, Small FFT or Blend?
I guess Blend, as small FFT involves mostly the cpu that would be stable after IBT.
In my experience IBT is very fast to find pure cpu instability but very poor to find NB/memory one.
just to chime in
exchanged board from Asus P5b-dlx (very first gen. , no rev.)
which gave me so much problems with IBT runs
now : Giga EP-45 -DS 4 and
besides this board acts (memorywise) like a German Brewery horse
no problems at all with 50 IBT runs with full memory @1160 DDR2 .
thanx guys for your help

Chances are that's because your ram is buggered.
If you run a bunch of linpack, and pass
and you run a couple memtest and pass
Then running blend seems silly if all your doing is stressing some of each, when you know 100% of each are good to go... no?

Not at all. Stability of individual components is no guarantee of system stability. No different then being 2d stable bit crashing in games. A variety of tools are necessary for an indication of overall stability.
