UD works like a charm, UT cheats on me...WHY?

[hovenas]

I like UD (curecancer) as it actually does good while stressing the processor.
Now, my Duron can perform UD flawlessly @ 991, but crashes UT (game) after 30 sec's in spectator mode or so.
Is that strange?

@983 all runs fine...

This is all part of my struggle to reach 1 Ghz. Taisol's new copper-based cooling solution will be replacing the FOP serving me right now. Got to get there people, will fight, will preserve...

UT is one of the most fickle games out there as far as overclocked processors go...
i could run prime95 for days w/ no problems, but fire up UT and 5 minutes or less later.. crash...
good luck🙂

Odd,
I can run UT all day long with no trouble, but the first 10 seconds of Prime95 give me a rounding error!

Also, my Duron 750 topped out stable at 982MHZ, you may be in for the same. Did you write down the batch/week? Could be fun to compare. LMK

try setting the clock speeds on you gf card back to default.

 

[hovenas]

Clock speed to normal...hmm. Sounds plausible.
No didn't write it down. Don't give me the creeps here. I'm in for the 1 Ghz, don't want to hear nuttin' about no batch/week limit thing. Back off!
I'll keep you posted guys...

Different applications stress the cpu in different ways. It's not uncommon for an overclocked cpu to run most everything just fine, and have a problem with a particular app.
