Failed Prime95 :(

[Caviman2201]

I just tried running Prime95 and failed immediately... system specs are at the bottom... I'm going to run Memtest86 tonight to make sure it's not the RAM.

What is your Vcore?

[Caviman2201]

my Vcore is stock at 1.65V

You might need to bump that up a little bit to be stable.

[Caviman2201]

yeah, problem solved... i upped it to 1.7 and i'm cool as a cucumber now :)

lol can u push that cpu anymore without upping the voltage to high ?

more fsb the athlon will love it :)

[Caviman2201]

The only thing I'm concerned with is heat... although with my window open and a floor fan blowing directly on my heatsink, temps are pretty low :)

[Steven4563]

aslong as temps dont go over 55C full load your ok :)

[Caviman2201]

alright... lemme do some fiddling

[Sir Barton]

hey Cav, make full use of that ram you have there....go 250 x 9 :D. that board should do it too, try one of the newest beta BIOSes.

[Caviman2201]

Sir Barton, I just hit 230x9.5 so I'm on my way... I tried 240x8 and got errors for some reason so i'll need to mess with it...

and by the way, what movie is your little image from? I know I've seen that before... :)

what kind of heatsink are you using. My sig is not stable at temp above 55 degrees under load. That is why I bought the latest thermalright SP27 to cool it down. Change your heatsink and you will get better results.
