Well if this fails that means NB or RAM is playing up and need to go back to move voltages one more time.īoth are good programs. Next test is 10 passes in LinX on max memory available - this should quickly tell me if MCH/RAM voltage is enough. On minimum memory testing LinX tend to stress CPU to the max. Quick test with LinX on minimum memory (20 passes) should reveal if CPU has enough voltage. What I've learned from this exercise is thus: I guess I need to tinker with MCH voltages. Blend test in prime was stopped on 2nd thread after 7 hours and 15 minutes. Well the results are thus - I've passed 10 passes on max available memory in LinX. So my questions is - is the system still considered to be unstable if Prime95 fails and Intel Burn not? I've read that Intel stresses CPU much more than Prime - but that makes no sense - if CPU survives stronger testing why does it fail during inferior testing? I've also played GTA4 for about 1.5 hours last night without any issues. I've upped the core voltage to 1.28 now and had 7 succesfull passes with Intel Burn Tes, while Prime95 still fails second worker after 20 minutes. Stress testing with Intel Burn on Standard settings makes 4 passes, while on Prime95 2nd thread fails after 20 odd minutes with fatal error while 1st thread still churning away. CPU termination and PPL voltages have been changed to values given by auto settings (I've found a few post on the forum stating that Gigabyte mobos tend to overdo those if left on auto while OCing) changed Vcore from auto to a value of 1.25 So last night the OC went in the following way:
#Ram test using intel burn test or prime95 plus#
I've decided to replace stock cooler with Coolmaster Hyper 212 Plus to keep the temps down. Standard peripherals - keyboard, mouse etc.

Well after being on this forum for about a month on this forum I've decided to OC my system:
