Hmm..I don't how to try Prime95....would a several hours of Sandra Burn work as a test for stability?

Anways...I have been playing Unreal Tournament 2003 for a couple of hours now...the thing seems stable, and so is the temps.

BTW..what is SETI?

Download Prime95 here: Link

After you've installed it, run it, and click on Options -> Torture Test. Let it run for 12-24 hours straight and if it does not bail stating it found a mathematical error or it does not crash/reboot spontaneously then you can pretty much declare your system stable.

You can find out more information about the SETI@Home Project (Search for Extraterrestrial Life) here:

SETI@Home will not provide you with any information if the processor makes a mathematical error, but it will push your processor to 100% and is a good CPU Burn-In program.
 
For those of us who don't believe in cpu burn in...just try the prime95 and at same time maybe loop in some 3dmark2k1se...

Also a good stress test of memory and mobo memory subsystem would be memtest83...

Sissoft Sandra burn in is a joke in my opinion...Does not stress enough and temps often are 3-4c below the pbest prime95 can offer ot 5-6c what cpuburn can create....I can get sandra to run at 2.8ghz right now with 1.73v though I can't get it to run prime 95 at 2.76ghz with 1.73v. Won't do it with 1.75v either...I don't trust it as a true stress test...
 
Update: Check out my webpage with a new Wcpu Screenshot

However, I can't seem to get above 198 FSB....temps get into near the 60C at full load and I can't boot into Windows Properly.
I think the ABit mobo is stopping me from doing this.

But anways...3.56 GHz is really nice and I'm getting closer to DDR 400 speeds.
