Prime95 errors help

Nick1881 · 24 Apr 2008 at 17:53

I'm trying to get my Q6600 stable at 3.5Ghz (390 x 9)

After 12 mins I got this error

FATAL ERROR: Final result was DBA2CF9F, expected: 3247CE82.

So I upped Vcore to 1.475 after 12 mins I got this error

FATAL ERROR: Resulting sum was 4.195114727355791e+037, expected: 4.195114727355842e+037

So I upped Vcore to 1.48 and again after 12 mins I got this error

FATAL ERROR: Resulting sum was 4.493122134502993e+038, expected: 4.49312213450305e+038

What do these errors mean? Is it Vcore causing them?

Thanks

No one know on this? Should I just try more vcore?

My mobo is Gigabyte DS3 Rev 1, Chipset volts are already at +0.2

I have upped the Vcore again, its 1 away from 1.5v now, reading 1.39v under load in Everest.

Cores are reaching up to 73 C and my motherboard has reached a crazy 63 C, this is 15 mins of Prime, I have my window open too, little worried about that mobo temp.

Edit mobo has hit 68 C! Should I stop? nah if it burns out then so be it.

memory issue perhaps?

what are the vmch, vfsb and vdimm set at ? Probably a good idea to post a hardware spec as well.

Try running your ram 1:1 incase that is giving you problems.

With the last Vcore increase it was stable for 20 mins before I stopped fearing damage due to the NB temp.

Vmch is +0.2v
Vfsb is stock
Vdimm is +0.2v

Ram is already at 1:1 and I had it running as high as 960Mhz before.

Q6600 G0
Giga DS3
Crucial Ballistix 4 x 1Gb
Corsair 520w
Scythe Ninja (TRUe on the way)

I'm looking at a new board to have a play with if I can find something sub £100 that will clock well.

Thanks

Try running the top (small fft) test.

It puts WAY more load on the CPU, if it fails instantly your CPU is the problem, if it stays up longer than the defailt test, then it's likely your memory is at fault.
