Also it's good to check with 3dmark to make sure you are stable. 3dmark 2003 really tell's you when your runing's something to high just run it looping for about 3-6 hour's. As for prime I always burn mine in @ the lowiest clock speed and highiest voltage I fell ever needed about 20-30% more voltage is ok then run it for about 48 hour's or so. Also when you get to your max burn for another 24-48 and keep doing this untill you fill you have maxed out the chip.
