If it does what you need it to do on a daily basis, whether it be folding, rendering, benchmarking, gaming, surfing....putting a system through that much stress to prove stability is for a niche crowd saf; it is far from a standard and never will be.

the system doesn't even have to be close to stable for web surfing, or benching. Linpack is made by intel for intel cpus and it will grow over time. I have games that stress the ram more than prime, or OCCT does. Your OC could do what you need it to do for a limited time, but if you start getting data corruption or hardware failures all that work is for nothing. If your OC is not rock solid you could end with data corruption in anything you esp. if you use the onboard controller to control your hard drives. Hey it's your RM data and not mine so it doesn't matter to me if your OC is just prime or OCCT stable.

So what version of EasyTune 6 really works with X64 Vista?

the one not released yet

You reply too me like I don't know wtf I'm doing when oc'ing lol. I don't give a rats ass about corrupt data, I've been overclocking for 10 years, I've learned how to effectively back up my data. I'm just glad that I'm not an OCD stability guy. Life it too short for that bs.
