can an oced cpu cause BSOD at idle?

Meh you are no where near system stability and could very easily crash and or bsod while gaming or doing anything cpu intensive. Judging by your posts, and that screen shot though I doubt you do anything to intensive like folding at home or anything along those lines.

The difference between 5 tests and 25+ tests are HUGE. I would simply let the test run over night while you are sleeping and if you wake up to a BSOD than you know.

I don't understand why people want half ass stable systems. Why not simply take the time to ensure it's right instead of getting another bsod. You don't want to make another thread next week asking "can 1.312 vcore for 4.4ghz cause a bsod when playing counter strike source and downloading a movie" lol. Just take the time to do it right.

Edit : Also manually set the thread count instead of using auto with IBT.

it uses all four cores so I just left it on auto. and I have never had a BSOD under load on any setup if I could pass the standard 5 maximum passes. I could run it for hours and pass but it would still eventually crash at idle trying to oc the way I was doing when I started this thread though. all I do is surf the web and then game about an hour or two a day so again if it passes 38 minutes of IBT on maximum then I am not really worried.

Thanks Tweakster, I am pondering the idea of keeping it until haswell. It will depend if I can run PCI-E 3.0 on it or not.
