Is 5 hours of Prime 95 enough to stress test?

[sean2002]

I just overclocked my 2.26Ghz P4 northwood to 2.55Ghz. I'm running @ 600Mhz. At first I was getting errors at the 9 minute mark with a error to read from temp file, so upped the voltage to my RAMBUS and now it's been running for over 5 hours now. Should I consider this stable?


Also I ran memtest-86 for 4 hours because I'm running my RAMBUS @ PC-1200 levels, I got no errors. Not bad huh?

Any other stress tests I sghould try out? See my rig in mt sig.

Sounds stable to me. If your room temps go up much, though, it might be a different situation. You might want to add a 3dmark loop to your stress regimen too. I've gotten errors there before even when I was Prime stable...

Some people go more. Some people go for 12 hours or 24 hours. I would try 12 hours just in case. You can try other tests also.

I like to go 24 hrs while looping 3d mark.

Run memtest-86 for at least 12 hours. I had some ram that got errors @ 7.5 hours of running memtest-86.
