OCCT/Prime95 Obession


Recommended Posts

Tell me (anyone), is it possible some comps just will not run Prime95 and OCCT? I've had my DFI system for a while now and never could get them to run stable at all. I finally switched to the 510-3 a few days on the advice awhile back of someone here, and find it to be great (can run 9x305 with a mem divider) but once again Prime and OCCT simply won't work past a minute no matter the setting (except at stock). I just find this extremely frustrating as all other benches run fine when overclocked. Anyone else just not able to get these two to run stable? :confused:

Are you using the latest ver, of prime?There are other stability proggys,but it is generally accepted that if you're failing both.....well you Know,you're not stable

 

Only thing I can think of is that the CPU is flawed in someway that only shows up in Prime/OCCT but not other stability programs like SuperPI, etc.

 

I just found the newest Prime, will try it out in a bit. Thanks.

does your cpu fail at stock speeds? if it dosnt then you havent found your prime stable point.....it will be much lower then 3dmark stable for example

 

It works fine at stock speeds, but any amount of overclocking causes both programs to crash.

I have the same problem with my new Mushkin Redline and DFI NF4 ulta-d. Try running memtest and see if you get errors in that. If you do then your system is unstable.

 

Memtested both sticks seperately awhile back, no errors at all.

 

Playah, I based my intial settings for this second round of testing on those settings to no avail, except moving the mem to the yellow slots. I'll try that and play with settings again and see what happens. Thanks. :)

 

To Surrept, thanks for the PM and support. I'll get it one of these days :)

Make sure that you dont have the nvidia ide drivers installed. They gave me a hard time when i first got this board. They install with the driver cd and you would never know any different until you try and acces that drive.
