Most people prefer to load it up with voltage, I prefer to do what I listed at the begining of this thread.

SavageIX said:Has anyone tried burning in in safe mode? That seems to work pretty well for me. Fewer processes = fewer chances for errors, and safe mode only runs absolutely necessary processes. If anyone doesn't know how to boot into safe mode, press F8 before you boot into windows and select safe mode from the menu.
I know for me, it takes less voltage for me to boot into safe mode than full blown windows.
datura3 said:I burn using a linux boot CD and cpu burn in. Virually no processes I had problems with the Dothan causing reboots during burn in using windows. With a linux boot, it can run for days.
The way I read this is, finding the lowest voltage at the stock speed and doing the burn in is of no benefit. Is that correct?Sentential said:What you want to do is go to your maximum stable overclock. Take the usual volts and reduce them below what would normally be stable. However You want the voltage high enough that the PC will not crash for atleast a few hours during each session.
