Prim95 Error; Won't run past 5 minutes.

[CrackaLackaZe]

I have a Barton 2500+ that's OC'd to 3200+ on a N7FS-2, and I'm running a small FFT torture test only. I have had this system for almost a year, and although I haven't suffered from any crashes or freezes, I can't seem to get past 5 minutes in Prime95 without it halting on an error. The CPU temps are 52C idle/58C on 100% load (tested using S&M). I'm currently using the stock voltage, which I think is 1.65v. Would increasing the voltage help?

 

[Shimmishim]

yes... increasing your voltage should help get rid of the error

 

[CrackaLackaZe]

What should I increase it to so that the load temps won't be too high?

If its to hot, get a thermalright heatsink or any good aftermarket hs.

Well, I guess what I'm asking is...what's a good target voltage to aim for?

get your VCORE up to 1.725 and see if it helps
3200+ speeds are up to 200Mhz Internal CPU clock , my Athlon 2100+ required that much juice to keep it stable.

also make sure the RAM works well with 400FSB to keep them in sync 100%

 

[Shimmishim]

upwards to 1.8 is fine on air

It seems to have worked well with the vcore at 1.7, running at 199mhz fsb. No more errors on prime95 for at least the couple hours that I ran it. Thanks fellas.
