In my short quest for pie I can say that stability is more important than MHz as the longer your PC is up total the more wus crunched. Well someone can correct me if I am wrong but I have clocked mine back a bit for stability as they would BSOD and not reboot hence low output.

So I hope to see you back on the pie soon CD in the quest for pie! Whatch out for that andy guy he likes to sneak up and grab the pie!

Yes, I agree we have a winner here. (OK, I realize I took SiG's qoute out of context. Sue me...)

Tortoise and the hare. God knows I'm not the best clocker out there, but my machines are on and up for most of 24/7/365. On a new machine, I clock to the max and then begin backing it off until it can run totally un-managed for weeks. I have some machines that have gone a year without even blowing the dust bunnies out of them. I even have a few that have bad front fans, in 4u rackmount cases that are still running.... I only touch them when they break, which isn't often.

And like SiG, I'm also currently without an i7....That will come when our dualie master can advise me on the Gainstown stuff.

I think if the rest of the solid veteran crunchers check in, they will verify that this strategy is correct...It does not matter what you crunch, just that you crunch it for all it's worth, ALL the time....
