bread Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 IMO, a rig that is stable for 8 hours in prime *should* be okay for 24/7 day to day usage. It's possible that you might run prime again and error out within 11 hours or you might not even error out at all. Who knows. If your rig is stable for everything that you do, ie no crashes - locks - any 'wierdness' going on - you should be fine. And because of that last statement, you need to make the call more then anything else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigheadache Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Geez standards must be dropping if we are accepting 8hrs as 'prime stable'. I remember starting out and being told vehemently that 24hrs was the standard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal50 Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 8 hours is good but 24 hours is better. Run it and when your bored go back and play with your setting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bread Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Only thing that running prime over and over, again and again will do is burn in stuff more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

uwackme Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Was the temperature ok, or was it high? I'd say up the VID control one knotch... 0.025V and you should be gold for infinite hours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noktekniq Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 anyone kno how to fix everything like loosen timings or increase timings? for better prime or oc? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezag1000 Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 just give it a buit more vcore, then run prime for 24 hours. If it passes, load your overclocked setting into cmos reloaded and you are done with overclock....hehe :hit: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
