Try it on Linpack to check stability... it does much better stress tests for Sandy Bridge than P95.

 

+1 last night were just some peliminary tests, gonna go all out tonight! :)

Great to know the Gigabyte Z68 boards are great and stable overclockers!

 

Yeah I know right! This board is great, I ran P95, Intel Burn Test, and OCCT all for 2.5 hrs, each one after the other. highest temp I got with voltage @ 1.41v, 79C. I'm so happy but now my GTX470 is a bummer picard1.png Hopefully when those new 600 series cards come out, I'll invest in a nice ol' SLI setup! woo.gif

Lol is it that bad?? Why all the sudden hating it???

 

Also the biggest challenge for a Sandybridge overclock seems to be idle/low power usage.

This card runs at like 100C on a good casual sit down of Mafia 2. It's okay for now, but I am gonna replace as soon as I get the chance! dry.gif

Lol is it even overclocked?

 

Lol, I used to OC it, but now I just run it at stock, so annoying to here that fan whining, the card idles at like 65C mfacepalm.gif, I'm thinking about getting a Physx card to off load some power.
