Needed: Upgrade advice for a Useless individual!

Oh blimey, got a Fatal Error on Core 4 during the test. "Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4.
Temperatures have not jumped 5 up due to this. I'm stopping the test now as I've got dinner. Will, begin again after and see if the same happens
 
That's a fail - not stable.

Need to tinker in the BIOS - could be the memory voltage though as we've undervolted that...

See you after dinner

For when you get back:

Problem could be not enough vCore or not enough juice to the memory (or both). As it failed on blend - and that stresses the memory, as well as the CPU, we'll amp up the memory first.

Restart - enter the BIOS - AI Tweaker - set the memory voltage to 1.55V - F10 save and exit. This wont affect your temps - which is why i'm trying this first.

Run the blend test for 10 minutes again - check all the usual...

We're currently running the memory at 1.5V as the rule of thumb is that ideally you don't run the memory more than 1.55v on sandybridge - especially when clocking.

The reality has proved that this hasn't been an issue - but we'll follow protocol for now.

So we're now going to set it to 1.55v.
