Not sure what your beef is?
You invited me into Benchtec the other day on MSN and now I'm your enemy.
That was a joke
I invited you because you said a few times on these forums "learn to bench", so I assumed you would be good at it and you like to upgrade and adopt new tech.

Exactly in your opinoin.
If some one posts a screen shot of their CPU at a speed they are happy with and works fine for them, then there is absolutely no need for you to go asking people where is this stability screen shot, where is that 12 hour prime screen shot, blah, blah, blah.
Just keep your opinoin to yourself for once god damn it. No one wants to see you in every ******* thread saying, that overclock doesnt do it for me, its not stable enough blah, blah, blah, no one gives a damn its just getting old now.
No, personally booting up is the first sign of stability and then I take it from there. I already posted my method of finding stable clocks. Dosn't mean that I'm right its just what works for me. Others no doubt have there own methods which is fine, I may not agree with it but I certainly wouldn't berate them for it.
P95 is the last of a series of 'tests' I run once I have settled on a clockspeed/vcore I feel comfortable with. Temps are rarely an issue on good watercooling. I've yet to see above 70c even with 1.7vcore so thats not even in throttling territory nvm cpu damage.

I posted my batch number somewhere on here, Too many E8*00 threads 
It had a A6 in it.
Currently @ 4.05Ghz with 1.38v
Idles @ 40C using a TR SI 128 and an Amber fan.
I need better cooling as Orthos fails as soon as it hit 70C (after 5mins)

is that small FFT?
I usually run mine for 8hrs as thats how long I sleep for. Might aswell prime it overnight rather than be without a pc for 8hrs. 12 hours is the proper 'golden figure' though as that is roughly how long it take to do a full round which is what I use to determine a personal 24/7 stability.

Nice vent Azza, you'd of thought the guy would have found something else to do by now
Yeah, Small FFTs
Soldato
But you just said:
Jeez...are you simply on a wind-up again or simply confused with technicalities? I'll try and make it simple for you.
If a cpu is no where near stable...it wont even post, if it posts it has a minute amount of stability. Minor stability gets you into windows. From there I go superPI, then occt....gradually increasing the workload on the cpu to get an idea of max benchable clocks and max 24/7 stability.
Why the attitude?
I was just asking the question.
And you still haven't answered it.
Just agree with me that small fft stresses the cpu the most when priming etc..
You know this is fact so stop skipping around the fact that you use small fft to strees the cpu.
I have read enough of your threads to comfortably come to this conclusion.

40c seems rather warm idle when you compare it to mine, mine idles at 34c at the same clock speed and volts as you, this is with a Tuniq Tower 120.

LMAO
A screeny like CPUz for example is going to be done on a suicide run most of the time... Just for max speed...
I judge stability on several things, like Webbo mentioned, firstly booting into windows is always a good sign
, especially Vista...I normally then run all wprime & superPi tests, render in photoshop, PCmark05, Games & maybe Orthos small FFT's for about 20mins if im really bored & losing the will to live
In other words Orthos can kiss my PSU

You know very well what you were doing...the same as usual. Trying to belittle others or catch them out for your own ego trip. Its getting quite tiring now. If you wanted any sort of control measures you would be best posting them in the OP rather than asking for them 10+ pages into it.
I don't know what you want me to say RE:cpu stability nor do I understand why my methods are so important to you - its not as though I wrote the overclocking bible now is it? I have stated twice now how I test for stability. But for clarity here it is in kiddie colours :
POST
Boot
SuperPI
OCCT
and as a FINAL test for cpu stability - Prime95 small fft
understand now...dunno how much simpler I can make it bar drawing you a picture.
Anyway....back on topic
