Hi all
I've just recently overclocked my E8400 to 3.6ghz and while it passed 12 hours of Prime95 stress testing (both cores), when running the Crysis benchmark it kept freezing at odd points - I upped the vcore a notch (nothing else changed) and all is well in Crysis now.
Is this an indication that Crysis is more of a CPU stress test than Prime95?? I find this difficult to believe, but can't think of any other explanation.
Just wondered peoples opinions on this ... and if anyone else has experienced similar??
