Just finished my upgrade to a Gigabyte 965P-DS3, Conroe 6400, and 2 gb g.skill ddr2 800. I left Orthos running to stress test my overclock since I won't be home for a day and my mom just called to tell me my computer was making a beeping noise. Orthos had only been running for 18 mins( it should've been at about 7 hours right now) and it said there was a rounding error :mad: .

I disabled EIST and the smartfan control, added .1v to the mem voltage(I asuume this made it 1.9v), and bumped up the Vcore to 1.3375(I think, it's 1 setting above the 1.325). I also set the PCIe to 100. FSB was at 375, giving me clock speed of 3.0gHz, and memory 750 at 5-5-5-15. I didn't run TAT or orthos for long before I left(about 10 minutes), but temps never got above 53 or 54C, idle was in the low 40s(using a Zalman CNPS7700CU).

I forgot to disable virtualization and didn't manually set the memory timings. Could either of these been what made Orthos fail, or do the CPU and possibly memory need a little more juice? Is there anything else that needs to be disabled? Is there any way to tell from the Orthos log whether the failure was CPU or memory related?
 
bump the voltage up to 1.35v, I take it you disabled C1E and all that jazz as well? Give the MCH +0.2v as it will improve stability as atm I'm on 3.15 and if I drop that down to 0.1v I get some nice instability. Bump the voltage on the ram up to 2.0v/2.1v.

Yeah, I disabled C1E as well. I'll bump up the ram to +0.2 to make it 2.0v. What exactly is MCH?

I believe it is MotherCHipset all I know is that is the difference between having a stable and unstable overclock for me.
