thespatalian Posted August 3, 2003 Posted August 3, 2003 I've got my 2.6 running at 3.19 or so, it's got a vcore of 1.55 and a 245FSB. It'll run Prime95 torture tests for 7 1/2 hours and at vcore of 1.525, for 5 1/2 hours. Should this (7 1/2 hours) be considered stable enough to move on? or shoudl i keep upping the vcore until it never fails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trakfast11 Posted August 3, 2003 Posted August 3, 2003 (edited) i guess it is all personal preference. if your comp can handle everything you do on an everyday basis, then you might call it stable enough. i used to do 24hrs of P95, but have decided that it takes too much away from folding right now so i settle for 12hrs and running folding for atleast a week . the majority of the programs out there will not stress your components as much as P95 does, so if your system can handle p95 for long periods of time, you're pretty much set. so do whatever makes most sense to you and consider what apps and progs you will be running on your setup when deciding whats stable enough. p.s: if you are stable for 7 1/2 hours right now and you increase your processor's frequency, your system will probably be flaky when you run P95 and recieve an error fairly soon unless you increase your vcore as well.

thespatalian Posted August 3, 2003 Posted August 3, 2003 I just ran it again at i stopped it a 10 1/2 hours w/ no errors, So i upped it to a 1gz fsb and that puts me at a lil' over 3.25, i think i'll burn it here for quite a while before I try to go any further Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blippy Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 (edited) so um, basically you just run it too high...and you don't want to admit it? nice that's a good overclock though i have a 2800+ (2.08 ghz) and i can't really get it past 2.4 ghz stable. I have to keep it at a high vcore to even run that 1.85v. my mobo (a7n8x delux) won't give me a higher vcore, so i can't up the fsb anymore. =( Edited August 4, 2003 by blippy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
