So how do you guys check O/C stability?

I've just finished running Stress Prime 2004 for 12 hours after OCing my 4000+, and I thought how others are doing it. I usually run prime for 12 hours and periodically run 3dmark05 on top of it(about 10 times total). If you have your routine please post I'd very much like to hear. Thanks.

I used to use Prime95 for 24 hours, others use folding@home and I have heard some people use a program called Rosetta.

Orthos prime for 17-24 hours is my weapon of choice

[notsobig]

Thanks. But did you guys ever get errors after 12hours? 24hours sound so....tedious

[Clunk]

I had an error right on 11:59 mins, i just sat down to turn it off and it failed! I had one fail after 15 hours, but that was in the summer when it was roasting, so that probably had something to do with it

[notsobig]

OMG, that sounds like a nightmare But now I understand why you said 17-24, I wondered why 17?....lol

[Clunk]

17 is usually when i get to it the next day, thats all

Oh I see, I have one question btw, when you run Prime you go through rounds of tests which usually consist of 4 smaller tests(I hope you get me)but sometimes this smaller test ends at 2 but not 4. You're not getting error for this, but I always wondered why this happens. Any idea? Is this sign of poor overclock?

[Madafwo]

I think its just that each set of tests is set to run a certain number of calculations, and that the ones that only run 2 are huge calculations.

[notsobig]

Oh good. I just started another test(24hours this time) but I've got this 2 test finish syndrome again so bit worried. But I'll just ignore it then. Thanks a lot

super pi till I find limit cpu

OCCT

12 Hrs stress prime 2004

crunch/folding

If I dont know what ram will do in the board I will run memtest overnight, and a few hrs win memtest

[notsobig]

Thanks, that sounds like a very solid testing
