3.2 Ghz problem?

Ok i have my cpu running at 3.2 GHz 24/7 1.59v and can play games all day with no problems thing is it fails prime after a few mins i haven't tried more voltage as i'm not to happy going over 1.6v should i be worried? or is the latest games enough to prove stability? Thanks

Personally i think Prime and 3d/pcmark are terrible games . V. boring. Anyway, COD2 stresses my system much more than the terrible games above.

how do you config you joystick in prime??????

They aren't games, they're benchmark programs/stability tests.

LOL ....sorry just having a bit of fun.
with it failing prime the message is the" expecting.....not equal message "now i thought that was memory related so i set my fsb to 200 and uped the multi to X16 but still failed with the same error :confused:

even though mine fails prime after 2mins @3250Ghz it has run pcmark04 ok and other benchmarks such as 3dmark 05 there must be a fine line between stable and unstable if my rig runs most except prime if i drop to around 3150Ghz i can pass prime ok, but reading some posts i should be able to get 3400-3500Ghz on phase change unless i have a bad clocker which is possible!!
