I'm wondering is the chip deteriorating? has any one else noticed if their chip needs more volts to get stable at a previously stable clock?
I had some of those same weird problems. I had one chip do 50x100 at 1.42v LLC 75% and it passed 13 runs of LinX maxmem newest linpack before it crashed. I upped voltage one notch and it wouldn't even make one pass in LinX, dropped voltage and it wouldn't make 1 pass in LinX, set LLC to 100% and crash. I don't get it. Sometimes I can pass 10-15 runs LinX at one voltage then can't pass one run of LinX. Weird but I feel it could be heat related due to making all those passes then crashing. I am looking to get a single stage (just missed a good deal for one that holds SB at -30C for $325.00 in For Sale section) and I am also looking to add a second rad to my custom water setup in my 800D. Currently have a 3x120 EK in the top and will probably add a 2x120 in the bottom.
