different types of failing prime95

[Supercharged]

another thing, does the time it takes to fail prime95 mean anything? whether it takes 1min or 5mins means i am getting closer ?

 

 

 

 

 

i noticed there are a few errors when an OC fails prime95,

1. rounding was 0.453432, expected less than 0.4

2. rounding was 0.5

3. "100 errors"

 

does anyone of the errors mean tht u are 'closer' to a stable overclock ?

Your Venus may differ from my Ultra-D somewhat but I need more than 1.6v on my NF4 chipset to reach stable 300FSB.

Nope, you can't tell by the error, since the error isn't always the same on each run.

About the only thing you can tell is that the system isn't stable yet if you get any error.

how much did u use for yr chipset voltage then?

My Venus has never needed anything over stock regardless of the amount of overclock or hardware used.
