What causes Orthos Blend errors after a long period of time

[imported_Buckster]

It almost seems that at most overclocks - Orthos Blend works fine- but has an error after 7 hours 40 minutes ...

I can't see what would be particularly different @ the 7 hour point that it would at the 4 hour point say - temps aren't a problem.

thanks, Mark.

not enough voltage, but to be honest i think if u can finish dual pi 32m ur stable enough for gaming.

Your system is pretty stable by the way...but it may produce a random error from time to time...maybe you'll never notice it....but it will occur.
Anyway, give your Cpu a little more voltage, or maybe relax a little your Ram timings, or increase the vdimm a little....
You're on the right track my friend....keep testing! Once your system passes 12 hrs of Blend test...you can feel happy....

Is it necessary to test your system stability at your cpu's stock speed or just when overclocked?

 

[MADMAX23]

Even at stock speed, because of Ram timings mainly, considering every component works properly, of course.

Both would be perfect in order to check whether possible failures could be related to overclocking (which in most cases it is )

Well I should be getting my new mobo today so tonight i might go to bed and leave Orthos running.

So you mean you always get an error after about 7h and 40mins? How many times have you had this problem? What was the longest time before an error? I assume the shortest time was 7h 40 mins?

no - only tried 2 overclocks over night - I'd always assumed before than 1 -2 hours was enough ... obviously not.

but both overclocks I tried - failed at either about 7 hours 20 or 7 hours 40.
