got a A64 3500+ Winchester at 2700Mhz @ 1.65v with a Zalman 7000cu

it fails prime after 30 - 45mins but it is able to run Super PI 32MB test and it runs all the 3dmark tests and a 3 hour session of doom3


2700Mhz seems almost to good to be true and i want to fully test it to make sure its stable for everyday use

what else can i do to test its stability

prime is a very important test. i wouldnt mess with it if it dosent work stable. it means something is wrong.

prime is know for having problems with winchesters even if they are at stock
thats why i am not taking that as a sign of stability

test it at stock.

if it fails at stock then i say 2700 is good to go as prime is unreliable especialy with the prime issues the winchester has
