didnt know where to post this, but here goes. my dual cpu machine was not stable at all when i got it and temps were about 46c. under load. a few weeks later it ran prime95 for 2-3 days before locking up still at 46c. since then my ambient temps have not changed. now (over a month later) it is running prime95 as i am typing this and has been for well over a week. it can even run 3dmark at the same time as prime95 for days(untill i get tired of it). get this, it is now running at 42c. at 100% cpu utilastion with video. about 40c. just running prime95. i thought my memory was the problem, guess it wasnt. i am using sk6's with artic silver. the machine is not overclocked. obviously one can expect a non overclocked machine to be rock stable from the get go. so it baffles me as to why this system took well over a month to "break in". well, at least it is all sorted out now.
maybe my mistake was to use artic silver on a non o/c machine. all i can do is speculate about what caused this scenario.
anyways, i would like to thank everyone here for all the questions that were answered about this machine.
hmm, i am getting an itch to build a supercooled machine soon.
so i will be around here for many moons to come!
thank you,
