Hi. I'm having trouble with a newly acquired q9550 processor with E0 stepping. I'm using a ga-ep45-dsq board with 8gb of mushkin 1000mhz ram at 5-5-5-15.
I'm trying to get 4ghz stable (471x8.5). The problem I'm running into is I'm hitting a wall at 2hrs where thread 1 in prime blend fails, but the other 3 keep going for significantly longer. I've bumped the vcore up a smidgeon, but again at exactly 2 hours thread 1 failed in prime95 blend but the other 3 kept going. I'm not exactly sure what to do from here, as my temps aren't super good (63ish under 100 percent load in prime blend using a thermalright 120). Please assist with tips. I'm looking for 24hr stability and am not sure where to go from here.
