why 8 hrs?

Why 8hrs for prime? why is 8hrs the magic number?

And can you stress your pc more by running prime and calcs of super pi at 32m at the same time?

Would this load it even harder??

Cheers

You guys are ace!

Ran that tool and it passed everytime @3.4ghz on my q6600 fails at 3.5ghz
so now i'm happy that i'm stable.

not going to try to push it any further not risking voltages etc, as for temps...
3.5 got to 67 peak on a small water cooling setup and 61c @ 3.4 so it's all lovely prime would hit 50c so it def hits it harder.

Thanks guys
