im having second thoughts about memtest86.
usually, when i OC in Bios, i run memtest before i let my rig boot.
usually, if i hit my chips with any voltage, and/or do anything over 3.2 regardless of what devider i use, memtest racks up the errors big time!
just now (i was feeling brave) i went into bios and set my ram at the ugliest devider i could get.
then i booted into windows and used AI booster to bring my chip to 3.6. (225.51FSB)
heres what i dont get-
so far: Prime95 shows me the love! for over 20 minuets and i cant believe i dont have errors.
to make it even more unbelievable,
my load temps are 50C and my Droop is ugly as heck 1.42 (set at 1.475)
what do i trust?
am i having errors that prime95 is not seeing, OR are things good, and the bad readings i WOULD be getting from Memtest right now bogus?
