I have gotten to the point where I am testing for DDr CHA/CHB NB DDR2 Ref.
With my current settings, Prime got to 18 mins before I shut it down myself.
Note: This was after achieveing best NB GTL.;
NB GLT:
+10- 30 sec
+20- No post
-10- 17 mins
-20- No post
-15- 18mins + shut down when it beat -10.

I've run a couple of tests for the CHa/CHb NBDDR2 and haven't gotten prime to stop. Tho I have stopped it myself after 20-25 mins. I know I should let it run til it stops on its own, to get a base.
My question here is: should I be taking temps into consideration here, or just keep letting it run til Prime fails?

Hotest temps Ive seen so far (with Prime running)
CPU: 49
Core 1: 50
Core 2: 49
NB: 52
SB: 48

Thats gonna be alot of testing +12.5 +12.5 +50 thru -12.5 -12.5 -50,
or am I missing out on something here?

Heres my sttings so far: (not looking to get but 3.6GHz) as this is my very
1st overclock. Once I get 3.6 running stable, I will try more.

Your guide is working out great for me so far,
Thanks
