C'mon Dave I aint calling anyone out as a noob but this new standard of stability testing is not what I would call stable in which to judge
9-11 hours?...Easy for someone who runs their cpu at stock for "bios testing" lol.......put a little juice into it..........anyone could run prime at stock settings so whats the deal with that?
