hi all, thx to read this

I'd always running the middle test in prime95(in torture tests) for testing my overclock .. should i change? i heard that the blend one is better for overall stability and easier to pass.. 'caus i think the middle one it a lil bit to hardcore .... since if i pass it its for sure a stable as ROCK! hehe but if i can just pass the blend one and continu to think its very stable ill do that...For now as u can see in my sig im at 3.7 but i try to lower my Vcore to have a better range to increase my cpu later... got any tips?

I use all the tests to check for stability. Like you pointed out, if you can get 8-12 hours on each test, I believe you are more stable than just one of the tests passed. I personally use all three Prime tests, Memtest, and CPU Hot Tester to check for stability. The more the better. IMO.

i see... i was talking wich one is better some others folks said to me run 2 prime at the same time (with HT enable) of the large FFT is the best test from prime95... for sure runing all tests is good to :D did u try to run twice prime95 with large fft?
