I wouldnt rely solemnly on Super Pi to test if your stable or not.Gargmel wrote:32M Stable!!
You need to be using this in conjuction with 3D Mark apps, Prime95, Orthos etc.
Theres another really great stability test called OCCT.
I've also found in the past that even though you're stable in some (or all) of the above apps, you still may not be stable to play all your games. So actually playing your games is also a good way to test stability.
I am 63% addicted to Counterstrike. What about you?

A random question to everyone:
Whats the temp of your mobo running at idle & load?
I have the feeling mines running a bit too hot...
Idle - 31-33'C
load - 35'C (I saw after 2 hours orthos had it at 36'C)
Bear in mind this is with the A/C off but alot of the time its not on.

IMO 32m stable is as stable as 30min orthos stable.
Sure but who only tests stability for 30 mins ?I34z1k wrote:I have often seen it the other way aroundADV4NCED wrote:I wouldnt rely solemnly on Super Pi to test if your stable or not.Gargmel wrote:32M Stable!!

Plus theres no doubt about it, orthos heats up your processor more than a 32M run does

I'm running my 3700+ 2.2 at 3Ghz, Vcore 1.55. It hasn't expoled... yet. I can't imagine 1.425 will be a big problem as long as you're keeping it cool. What's your load temp like?pienkie wrote:Hay peeps, this is my 24/7 oc, it's stable - I think - all I wanna know is if the voltage is safe for 24/7?

The problem with the world today is stupidity. I'm not saying stupidity should be punishable by death, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
