I just tried that and get the same problem of half the workers shutting down in a random order. A suggestion in Prime95 is to change the swapfile. How do I do that? Do you think that the quoted recommendation is too severe?

I'm trying to run A 3960x C1 at 4.7 with Vcore 1.42. 16 gig of ram using the XMP setting.

I wont list all the parameters. It's safe to say that your recommendations above are about the same. I have got a 20+ LinX run with only 1.34 Vcore and over 2 hours in Primeblend.

Thanx for your time
Do you have active cooling around your mem, cpu area, specifically the boards VRMs? If not usually cores drop out due to high LLC, you can tell if this is happening if cpu speed starts to throttle while running the stress test.
