Ive got my Venice 3000+ oced to 2.5 ghz giving it approximatley 1.52 volts according to cpuz and mbm5 and I just did a 8 hr prime large fft stress test before I cancelled it, no errors. Just wondering if this is good enough for a stable overclock. Thanks.

Typically you would want to shoot for 12 hours.. But most of the time after 5 or so, it won't fail, it just continues on.. If you have some flaky memory it might cause it to error out at a later time!

large fft's aren't good for stressing the cpu...

you need to run small fft's...

run prime anywhere from 6 to 24 hours...

i use 6... others use 12... and some won't run anything less than 24!

 
its just what you feel secure with, i doubt you will ever stress the cpu like that for so long, so i doubt any problems will occur with 8 hrs
