Chaos,

I'm glad it's not just me that's having problems with prime95.


To be honest, It's not a problem with Prime95, it's your clock that is not stable :)

you should be able to clock it a bit even with stock cooling, keep an eye on he temps to be sure.

3DMark05 Score = 12,062

This is the first ever attempt at Overclocking for me. Although this may not be this PC's limit it has all been done on Standard cooling...it seems to run stable through out the 3Dmark05 tests and whilst playing F.E.A.R!

I'm open to all sorts of comments, good or bad...so please feel free,

Thanks

sweet overclock, now kick ass on CS: source with HDR :D

I know this is a bit of an aside but I'm sure your board could handle a HTT of x4 without any complaints (HTT will only be 1160 after all)

1160MHz is too high for the HTT. People shouted at me when I said 1020MHz wasn't too high. :p

It corrupts bootup files if it is too high, and it makes very little/no difference anyway.

If you aren't receiving BSODs anymore and no problems like crashing yet still fail Prime95, try S&M, much better stability tester. If that gives you errors as well, you should probably think about reducing the overclock a bit or increasing voltages. :)
