Did I get some lucky silicone?

How long do you suggest you run it for, for it to be stable, because I might run it over night tonight.

Had it going for an hour, only took the screeny initially then posted now after about an hour later. (stopped it 5 minutes ago)

Not neccessarily. My Q9550 @4.2Ghz passes 20 runs of max IBT yet fails prime after just under 15 hours. Some may call it stable but to me there's always that niggling doubt.

I agree 20 runs of IBT can not be classed as stable. Though it is a great tool for getting 99% there.
I renember starting a thread on this a few months back. I've never failed an 24 hour prime run after first passing IBT.
 
Mason as you do Distributed computing, i would suggest running a seti CPU client with all cores set and run that for a day continually. If u don't get any errors or blue screens from that, you can call it stable.

The reason i say to do this is, iv had my cpu in my sig on far lower vcore then it currently is, and would pass day after day testing of prime/ibt/linx/memtest.
But i would get random BSOD's/Lock ups when i would fold, not all the time, but lets just say folding found the weak points of my overclocks that none of the so called torture tests could.

So basicly i wanted to post this as i guess you do seti quite abit and the cpu will be used for that, so wanted to give you a heads up, and it would be better to test for stability with that, over wasting time with the others.

I would LOVE to do this, but SETI has been a PITA as of late and most I can get is 8-10 tasks (about 5 of them being CUDA ones) so it gets about 3-4 hours max usage.

Ah that sucks, get that from time to time with F@H as well, so what i would do is keep an eye on the crunching, and it you see errors from the clients, or lockups BSOD's when crunching then u know its not stable, so boost it abit.
