    @particle: Sorry, I misinterpreted your post #17 in this thread:

    I'm not a stability nazi by any means. Use whatever method you'd normally use for determining stability. The more time the better though. The more accurate the submitted numbers are the more the chart will help us determine overclocking trends.

    I'd recommend as much stress mode on y-cruncher as you can stand with a minimum of 2-3 hours.
    So i thought that 2-3 hours of prime would be sufficient. I will make a run on the next weekend with 8+ hours.

    Btw my above settings are also stable with 1,225 VCore. Pretty nice so far on the cheap board.

    The interpretation was correct, it's just an outdated post. If you read on, you'll see that it was suggested to me that without a formal definition of stability the results are as reliable to us and outsiders as a Jello battering ram. I revised what would be required, announced it in the thread (page 2-4, somewhere in there I think), and then revised the first post to clearly reflect what stable, unstable, and untested meant. It's all there for you.

    I look forward to your 8 hour run though. Good luck!
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Random Tip o' the Whatever
    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
