ok, unless you're going to be rendering, encoding, folding etc.. is it really necessary having your system prime95 etc. stable? well, before yesterday i was running my i7 windows/games stable, but then when i tried prime after 20 mins it crashed when it got to the small fft's, IBT was fine till max ram usage and 8t, while normal usage had a max temp of 71 - 72, and after running most games for a bit, with system on for couple of hours, temps would max at around 58 - 62.
Now, though i have my system running prime stable (mostly, as i did a 40 min run of small fft in prime) temps went up to 76, and ibt full stress 8 thread at 77, which i'll admit is pretty high. also after watching hd movies a few hours i reached a max of 67 in coretemp. i havent noticed one bit of difference at all having it this stable (i know you're going to say run 24hrs, but screw that).
so do you think unless im going to be doing those things mentioned above, is it really worth it getting those extra few degrees, or do you reckon i should just go back to my old settings and relieve the cpu a bit?
