Not sure, mines a week 24 also ..same chip.. Try burning it in with Prime95 @ default FSB and 1.85v (just keep a good eye on your temps) ..I've had success doing this with stuburn chips ...Tru2ya said:I have no idea whats holding me back then. =(
Generally when your burning a chip in you want to leave it on over night for 3 or 4 nights..Any longer then that and I don't think there is much of a benefit. As far as your ram timings I just set it to cas2 and left everything else as is..Tru2ya said:How long should i run it and should i keep my ram timings at 2t-2t-2t-5t? I running it on air and its 35c idle and 40c on load.
I dont think theres really any need to run both ..Prime95 keeps your CPU at 100% usage, cant stress it any more then that ..I'm gona run Prime with my ram set as you posted (T2 T2 T2 T5) and see how it holds up.. I ran 3dmark with Zero problems...I havn't really had time to mess around with it to much yet.....Tru2ya said:I was able to get through the first part of 3dmark of the low detail trunk game this time for leaving prime95 on for about 4 hours at 10.5 x 166. So i guess its magical
Also i seem to remember someone saying that he used 3dmark and prime95 at the same time to burn in his chip. You think thats a good idea?
Tru2ya said:On my RMA they said that they would ship it out fedex saver, so i guess that will probably be 4 days for me because i'm from FL.
no problem .....Run the torture test not the benchmark..The reason most of us use the torture test is because if at any time during the test you receive a error it automatically stops the test letting you know your system is unstable and most likely overclocked to far..I don't believe it matters if you keep it at default speeds the key is to turn up the core voltage to keep the chip nice and warm..Tru2ya said:rufunky thanks a lot for the info. I appreciate it. I have one more question though =). Should i be running the torture or benchmark test and keep the settings at default?
Tru2ya said:Well i was able to get mine up to 10.5 x 159(locked) with the vcore set at 1.85v in bios. I can boot to windows at a higher fsb, but 3dmark closes.
Btw, hallen whats your current system?
