Asrock P67 Extreme4 UEFI & Drivers thread [Extreme6 & Pro3 owners welcome]

2 hours of prime don't make a stable system.

These sandys are peculiar things - especially with the offset voltage. Most of the time the CPU isn't getting pushed (or if it is your settings maybe stealth down clocking).

So what appears 'good' to you may be falling way short after 2 hours prime? and some gaming.

Ideally run IBT with AVX - just to check your Gflops - not stability.

Then Prime 95 blend (lastest version) on your final settings for at least 12 hours.

BTW all of the above should be done at stock mem timing at 1333 or 1600 if your memory supports that.

IF your overclock your memory, then you need to run Prime 95 large FFTs with your final overclock to check that too.

Sorry but this is OC'ing 101.

You've killed 1 cpu already.. just saying.
