I for one am pretty sick of this Prime95 holy grail .. OK so I cannot get more than a couple of hours @ 4Ghz of Prime to save my life with reasonable voltage ..

So what ???

I have my 'game stable' setup which involves the following:

- At least 5 mins of OCCT
- At least 5 mins of Arena
- At least 5 loops of Cinebench
- At least 5 loops of wPrime
- At least 5 mins of Everest Stability
- At least 5 loops of SuperPI

- At least 2 hours of Crysis/Assassins/Far Cry 2/POP etc ...

This may sound pretty lame for an OC test .. but I have pretty much proven if it passes these tests.. it will play games for hours .. and encode DVD's etc. . and thats the main reason I bought the machine ..

Besides I've also heard enough stories of machines that are prime stable for 15 hours then fall over idling or playing simple games ..

I know which machine I'd rather have .. game stable not prime stable
