Getting ready to fire up new A64 system

[Matt2]

Definately not a noob, just looking for last minute advice on how to burn in the system

A64 3000+ Venice Rev. E
DFI LanParty UT Ultra-D
1GB OCZ Value VX PC3200
Radeon X800XL
120GB Seagate SATA
Fortron BlueStorm 500w

Just waiting on the PSU which should arrive tomorrow, Friday at the latest.

I'm lookin to overclock the shiite out of this system. What kind of burn-in procedure do you guys perform??

Thanks

Do you have all four (4) power plugs hooked up on the mobo? 24-pin, 4-pin square, FDD-style and HDD-style. I heard the FDD-style one is not so obvious. Also, it sounds like this one likes a fair amount of memory voltage, I'd probably start off at 2.7-2.8 volts depending on the RAM (fancier RAM, more voltage).

I do 24hours of prime95 small FTT, 12 hours of memtest, then I also run prime95 small FTT, superPI 32M and 3dmark01 100 loops at the same time.

"Burn in" is just about useless. If you mean a stress test to see if an overclock is stable, I use SuperPi for a quickie test and then run 3D Mark 2001 for a few loops. If that works out I'll turn on Folding@Home and let it run.
