The same could also be said if your cpu is fine but your system is unstable hence using blend.

bull imo
if it plays games and dont crash thats all it needs this 20 hours stable bulll is just that.. go tell kingpin his overclock doesnt count cos its only 3dmark stable....
Well I kinda understand your point but consider it a *universal* yard stick, its something that anybody can download and run for free and a picture of the results shows that that machine running overclocked really is stable.
Overclocking is cool, having your machine freeze while enjoying a game or reboot while you are doing some work is pretty ******* annoying!
Get the overclock primed, then share your results with the Borg and enjoy your juicing machine!
Thats the first time I have ever been called that!

First I use small FFT(max the chip)
Blend (I'm home and dry)
You joking right?

Well im perfectly happy playing Battlefield at 3.9 ghz, constant 100 fps with everything at max for the last 4 hours tonight. Rather than sitting at my pc getting ****** off cos my prime keeps rebooting.
Im not running a business, a research lab, NASA or NORAD. Im playing games on a bloody quick rig, that shows no sign of crashing whatsoever.
So Easyrider you spend all night frustrated with your prime crashes and ill enjoy the reason why i clock, to get max fps and speed for minimum cash.

c'mon man u moan about stable this and stable that.. thats not all what overclocking is about its about getting an overclock its about pushing to the limit , getting the best u can from what u have, hunting down an ace chip not is it stable? or like what you do making out to other ppl they are crap @ overclocking if it isn stable..
u only need an overclock prime stable if you are going to be running a lot of CPU-intensive apps that rely on stability, other than that, if it runs what you want for as long as you need it to then prime isnt needed. if my clock boots, its stable enough for me, i aint gonna waste a day testing stability when i can be doing other things like enjoying myself on counter-strike
Nearly a good justification for a system that has no grounds to compute.
"i game, and my data is not important"
Good luck

if you game, then data isnt important, if a game gets corrupt, just reinstall it, simple as that
I buy top end hardware an overclock it.
Reason : to compute data.
Thats it.
If it doesn't then I go back to the drawing board.
I dont have a system that dosn't do its job.
regardless of the apps/games etc..
It works or doesn't.
Its that simple
yes what im saying is, you make out ppl are stupid or usless at overclocking if there overclock isnt stable, ive seen u laugh at ppl for doing a suicide shot or a pi run, yet u will post in a pi thread saying and i will quote you here "ill beat this soon" so i presume u were goign to beat 12seconds 1mb super pi with a 100% stable rig so you dont loose any data?
Failed system for 3.9ghz epeen i'm afraid.
No one is that shallow when it comes the art of overclocking.
I can bench my Q6600 and game @ 4ghz
This means nothing.
wheres the fun in overclocking if your not pushing it to the limit, i spent hours getting mine to its limit, not 1 second of that was prime testing, just playing until it become unstable to game at, then tweaking till it was stable again
