    Remember: To qualify as "stable", you need to provide an image showing 8+ hours of some recognized stability test. While inconvenient, it's necessary as a bare minimum effort to ensure somewhat reliable information. It's not the end of the world, just run it over night some time.
    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.

    It's taken a lot of time and testing, but I've finally found my stable limits. The CPU just isn't that great, 1.5 vcore doesn't even get me 3.9GHz stable The memory controller/L3 cache clock nicely though, around 3040~MHz is my limit with only 1.3v.

    I also found that running Prime95 with the large in place FFTs test along with LinX at the same time yields load temperatures around 5C higher than using Prime 95, LinX or OCCT on their own. While Prime 95+Linx get me to around 60C, F@H only gets me to around 46C with all else the same, quite a drastic difference. But a good one considering F@H is always running, using all 6 cores and my GFX card too

    Anyway, the results.
