dual prime on x2?

[crispy2010]

Is it ok to run 2 x prime on the maximum heat test. Is the stock hsf enough to handle dual cores at full load?

Another thing, this 3800 x2 errors on prime and is very unstable at stock voltage. however runs great at 3.75v.

I think you meant 1.375v from the stock 1.35v....You board may be undervolting so setting 1.375v in the bios doesn't mean you are giving that much vcore...use cpu_z to see actual vcore at idle and load.....

Dual prime is fine and many can get the 3800+ at 2.4ghz to run with stock just fine....

Yea thats what I ment, Anyways 1.360-1.375 idle and 1.392-1.409 full load!

Temps look good If I can trust gigabyte easytune, full load 50c!

make sure you run 2 instances of prime, and set the affinity for one to cpu 0 and the other to cpu 1. this way you can tell which core needs more juice, then you can run cpu burn-in just on that core.

I just got a 3800+, and I ran dual-prime overnight for 10hours at 1.4V and 2.55GHz
Pretty good for just out of the box! I wonder what I can get with a 10% voltage increase.
