Hi all, good to know other people are reading all this.
Just a quick update. I'm now struggling to pass the Orthos blend test, while at the same time keeping the Vcore at 1.5625 or below. I'm not having much trouble with the temps. I'm not having trouble anymore either with dual-prime 95 or Orthos's large and small FFT tests, as I stated in one of the posts above. It is only the blend test. Memory is back to stock voltage 1.90V, manually set, and stock timings (5-5-5-12). I've also disabled hyper path 3, for what that's worth. Once I'm perfectly stable I'll enable it and test again. I have not found raising the FSB termination voltage helpful in a way that I can tell, so it's on auto. The MCH voltage, when raised, actually makes the Orthos blend test break in minutes, not hours, and so it's on auto too. ICH is also on auto.
I can keep the Orthos blend test running like for hours, but it ultimately breaks. Right now I've been running it for almost 3 hours, at 1.5625 Vcore and 389 FSB, which is the lowest I'd like to go. Another possibility is that this blend test has a small flaw for dual-cores, seeing as how I did pass dual-prime 95 for more than 26 hours without it breaking. But for the time being, I'll just assume it's fine, and it's just more stressful than large FFTs. I have also noticed that large is more stressful than small, so it should make sense.
Another thing is that I switched cases, and this case now seems could make the Big Typhoon that I switched for the Zalman 9700 more efficient. I'll be trying switching again, and then improve what little I can.
Let me know if you got any thoughts on all this.
Thanks.
