ORTHOS Stability Help

My rig lasted through the 4000 iterations but crashed at the start of the 800000.

This took approximately 15 minutes. When can I consider my rig "stable"?

Keeping in mind that all I do is surf the net, watch DIVX movies, and burn DVDs; do I really need a super stable rig if I'm never going to stress the CPU or memory that much?
 
4+ hours.

Granted, if you feel everything is stable for you at your current settings, rejoice & be glad.

But if you want a more recognized stability, 15 mintues ain't gonna cut it.

Agreed.

I'd say at least 8 hours minimum.

LOL. Yeah I was happy when it didn't BSOD after 15 seconds... 15 minutes and I was opening a bottle. I'll try backing it down and running it for 4 hours.

Is this a limitation of the RAM or the CPU?
 
your rig should be prime stable for as long as you keep it on.

that said, if you keep it on 2 hours/day, it should be pass prime for at least 2h

if you keep it in 8 hours/day, it should pass prime for at least 8h

if you keep it on 24/7, it should pass prime for at least 24h

I like this idea. I'll try to run Prime, but I don't know if it will work on Vista yet.

 
I think my ram sucks. I just finished 30 minutes of Orthos Blend @ 3.2GHz (DDR2-800). Anything higher than stock ram speeds and I start to bomb. Therefore, I think the processor can handle it, but the ram rides the short bus.
 
My ram is rated at 2.1V

My motherboard undervolts by .04 to .06. I have it set to 2.2V and it's reading 2.14 to 2.16. Can I go higher?
 
I can only move in +.1V so I'll have to go up to 2.3V

That will put it at 2.24 to 2.26V (a whopping .14 to .16 Volt excess)
 
i have yet to hear of ram die from anything less than 2.5-2.6 volts for everyday use.

if it scares you then don't do it and be happy with your overclock! 🙂
 
If it's stable, think about dropping Vcore. My 6400 is stable on that mobo at 1.275V at 400FSB. You may be able to get your processor down to stock or below stock voltage.

 
I usually give it overnight on Large FFTs and then try to do another long stretch with Large FFT and something else like 3dmark looping so I can check if it's stable with all components working at once.
 
Yahoo!

I came back to see Orthos still running after 3.5 hours. It's not 3.4 GHz but it's pretty darn close for a lot less money than D9 RAM.
