Thats sort of scary. I depend on my computer 24/7. I can't afford to have bits dropping out from time to time. if you are only doing work that is "read only" than I guess it's not much of a problem. You would always be able to try again.
When it comes to file corruption that is scary stuff

I used to ignore orthos as well, with my old setup (Opteron 170) at 3.4GHz it did everything, except stress stable (error(s) after X time). I ignored that for a long time, until I got a BSOD, which made my Windows installation in corrupt, forcing an OS reinstall.
@ fausto412, sorry I didn't notice your reply earlier. I am uploading a video for you at the moment. I will edit this post when it is done.
Ok here you go:
Real Resolution (might be to small)
Forced Resolution (vision may look stretched)
Had to take my whole setup out of my PC case for it, but now I had some time to test the lowest voltages on 3.2GHz and 3.6GHz (this was a boot on 3.6GHz on stock voltage by the way).

Hey,
thanks man
I have been able to boot the ram somewhere between 1225-1250 before. I am happy I switched from Kingston. Max OC on them was 900MHz .
Here is a small boot for you:
Validation
CPU-Z Spam
I don't have the right cooling for +0.4V now, so I don't want to go further now.
And on top of that you have OC your PC6400 ram to 1150!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to chime in on this thread and tell you guys how lucky you are. My e6750 on my ds3r board will only boot 3.6 ghz with a vcore set at 1.59xx (the highest 1.59 before 1.6) which gives me 1.552 at idle and 1.520 under load. Any thing less fails orthos. I have an ultra 120 cooler so temps under load are 60 max. The board has a problem and cannot boot when vcore is set at 1.6, system hangs before it even starts loading windows. The next setting is 1.8 then 2.0 and i wont touch voltage that high. The vdrop and vdroop is miserable and holding me way back. I may have to save for another chip.

I have lowered the multiplier and raised fsb up too 495 with a 1:1 ratio and was orthos stable overnight. I know for sure its the processor. Performance enhance is a wonderfull thing, benchmark with everest at each settings. You will see the memory latencies go way down when set to extreme, it really helps bandwidth too. I tried it on standard anyways and it made no difference, im 100% sure its the processor. If i lower vcore one notch orthos will crash. This chip is just insanely voltage hungry for some reason. I have updated to the latest bios i think its f10, it didnt change anything. I was looking for a working vdroop mod to get a higher overclock but with the voltage i will need its not worth it, best to buy another chip.

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum (and overclocking ) and I'd like to ask a few questions.
I can get my E6750 to run at 3.7GHz at 1.3675V and its Orthos stable for 12 hours. However, Memtest shows that my RAM has errors at this OC. So my question is, is Orthos stable good enough, or should I underclock my CPU until the RAM has no errors? If my RAM has errors, will that negatively impact the computer overall, or is it just a minor detail? Thanks for any replies .
