looks like you're on your way to hit 4Ghz, just be sure to run for like 12 hours, I recently BSOD about 9 hours running prime and had to bump voltage up a couple of notches.

Not sure what "small blend" is. Try 208 instead of 205 and it might go a little higher in cpu mhz without too much more adjusting. If 208 works you could try 210 but it is surely trial and error from 208 on if it works. You should have the idea by now.

Sorry, I just don't agree that you have to pass a twelve hour long Prime95 test to consider you system stable. I mean, what if you had decided to run a 24 hour Prime95 test and you BSOD'd at 23 hr. Does that mean it's not stable?

well you don't HAVE TO do anything but I just don't want to BSOD from any circumstance

I appreciate your thoroughness in seeking for true stability. We get no lack of excited new members who claim some wild overclock and then when we talk them into running Prime95 they come back with their tails between their legs. My contention has always been, however, that the length of the Prime test that needs to be passed before one can feel comfortable that stability has been achieved is at least somewhat dependent on what you will use the computer for and how mission critical the data is you will be working with. I think it is possible to put unnecessary wear and tear on the system with excessively stringent testing routines that will far exceed any demand made on the system in running real world apps.

I agree with Trents here. I have always used 2 hours as my rule of thumb for stability, thanks to a suggestion from Trents when I was a new Oc'er. I wanted to see if my rigs were truly stable recently, some members have suggested that being able to run F@H 24/7 will really show if it is stable. So I ran F@H on the 3 rigs I have overclocked, My 8350 in my sig, my 955be @ 4.1 on air and my I5 2500k @ 4.8 on air for 5 days 24/7, None of them crashed. That is stable enough for me.

Drake you mean you did not run P95 and Furmark at the same time? Woe is yore stability. Hehehe.

i have run it for like 30min on 208x19 and it seems to be stable
i also treid it on 210*19 it was good for like 15-20min.
But then i left home for a few hours and left prime95 on.
When i came home the pc was reboot so it was not stable

i have run prime95 blend test for like 5 hours and he stays stable
I also changed the fan direction, it first sucked air out of the case and now he blows fresh air into the case.
As result that the cpu is 5 dergees coolor.
