That only means that linpack is a quicker way to test though, you no doubt would have had prime error / freeze / BSOD eventually.

That's good if it's true though. I was just saying because the way prime works it could load a cpu less with small FFT yet still make it hotter in the past.

I always thought for some reason that even though prime was only using 10-20% memory, that it was cycling through the memory or something, like memtest does, to test out all of your ram Not quite sure how it works tbh.

Passed 50 runs linX @ 4.2ghz with 1.37v today, took about 2hr 50 mins i think, so i'm going to run blend til tomorrow morning just out of curiosity. If no crashes i'll probably stick with linX too

I will be getting XigamTek Heatsink in couple of weeks, as they said the 1366 Adapter will be availabe in newegg in 2 weeks time.
Flash back to previous bios, test temps, verify it's a bios issue?
