Here is MY stable 4ghz running superpi. Decent time I think.

Very nice..

My hat goes off to you:)

Can you 8hr prime it without error's?:D

Dont know havnt tried. And im not going to waste 8 hours of my PC time wasting money on electricity just to run my PC doing 8 hours of prime to give you your stablility shot.

I can run my benchmarks and play my games.

That i was what I consider stable for me. Doesnt say any where in this thread that a stable overclock has to be by Easyrider's guidlines.

If I can play CS:S for 2 hours then an hour of Bioshock and run some benchmarks then jobs a good en for me. But not for you, but hey why the hell do I care what you think and why should other people on here. Like you said your PC does it jobs and my PC does mine.

Azza I have respect for you and lets feel the love.

Your PC aint stable By my standards but thats fine.

Thanks for posting and showing interest in my thread:)

It's nice having 8 hrs prime stable under the belt, if there were problems, then I will know it's not the cpu. If blend test fails, then I guess people are using duff memory, which they didn't test with memtest 86 before stressing the machine.

I'm with Easyrider on the stress testing.

Thats my view.

We spend enough on this hardware to warrant it doing its fundamental job of computing DATA.

you know what easy, its not your lying, or your being a hypocrite its the way you talk down to people because they dont believe the same as you, and lets be honest nobody knows what you believe because you reply diffrent depending on what forum your on and what thread your in.

I speak stabilty

I enjoy chilly, and I grant I'm not there much.

But in all essence I will always have a stable system.

Benching at 4ghz and super PI is to easy TBH.

But Paul, I value all your input in this thread.

My heart saddens that you feel im a fake.

But in reality I wear my heart on my shoulder when it comes to overclocking
 
Its not a competition ..

Its testing hardware.


Testing a clock means it can calculate DATA.

Thats the bottom line.

If a PC cannot ,then your PC is not doing what you spend hundreds of pounds wanting it to do.



A Fool does'nt understand this concept.

I agree with the priming. Personally I never feel comfortable without priming and doing a nice blend of 8 hours like yourself. But the way you put it across is somtimes a tad rude :)

At all I'm sorry if i'm misunderstood.

Just thought that prime stable was an easy thing to implement.

When overclocking a cpu.

Not really, priming to your standards would take a good part of someones day or night and may be inconvenient to them...Along with the wasted electricity. For the likes of people who like piece of mind it's worth it. But everyone has different ways to test stability.

Not really,

Inconvenient ..is having a game hang or a copy to corrupt.

Best get the stablity in place when overclocking before utilisation.

Not even going to entertain the elcetricity comment TBH.

As this means the PC needs to be on does it not?

A fundamental flaw.

As a PC needs to be "plugged in" in order to work.


P.S when I primed my PC small FFT 3.6ghz I posted on this forum checked emails etc... while running samll FFTS on prime for 4 hrs then went to bed.

My PC was still responsive on my wake.

Prime can be done when using your PC.

Makes even your clock more solid.

i cant get my cpu stable at 3.6

i get 1 core fail, im at 1.465 volts in bios

but temps are at 80oC +, with the TT big typhoon


would this be causing the fail?

what are tha chances of a stable 3.6ghz overclock on water?
Click to expand...

80c is far to hot.

what mobo have you got?

3.6ghz is what I am at now fully stable. (water)

3.8ghz fails prime on one core and I am currently trying to iron this out with some voltage tweaking.
