Ok, ive had my San Diego a couple of days now, running at 2.8 Ghz stable through all my games, with 1.6 Volts running through it. The arctic cooler keeps it nice and cool aswell :D


But, i ran Prime95 tonight, for the first time, and within seconds it went crazy,

Basically it kept saying the following

ERROR: ILLEGAL HARDWARE SUMOUT
Possible Hardware Failure, consult readme.txt restarting test.
Maximum Number Of Warnings exceeded.
Torture Test Ran 0- mins 0-errors 100- warnings
Execution Halted.
 
I cant see the chip dieing. The only thing i thought could kill a cpu was putting too much voltage through it and frying it...

I think Prime95 is just being nasty to me..
 
Ok, so here is what my overclock setting are.

FSB 255
Multi x 11
Ram Divider DDR 333
LDT 3 X
CPU Volts 1.6
RAM Volts 2.9


Should all be working fine, i havnt exceeded my Hypertransport Frequency, unless im working it out wrong :confused:
