Hey everyone,
I recently re-OC'ed my PC and I was curious as to Prime95 settings.
I always use small FFT's to test because it generates the most heat. Least that is what I read on a forum a couple years ago.
Is that the only test I need to do? Because I ran that around 12 hours stable but by chance I lowered the voltage some more to see if I could get that stable and I accidentally hit blend and it failed almost right away. Well it didn't crash but it froze up. I was confused by that so I upped the voltage again and tried to Blend again and it froze again.
All this leads to my question, which is the best test for stability?
Prior data:
Ran fine with Memtest+86 overnight
System Specs:
CPU: Q9550
RAM: Gskill 1100
PSU: Corsair 620
SSD: Intel 120G
Mobo: Gigabyte UD3P
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Scott
