Quick question, i get a "rounding" error about 2 hours into Prime 95 on one core, then i run again an 2 hours into that one the other core gets the same error....another run and they both get the same error, same rounding amount off.......any ideas on how to make my current OC stable?(3.7GHz @ 1.325 v on a Phenom II X2 550), would upping the volts let me get higher??

temp is not the problem, only hit 37C max on load as well......using an origional Phenom's HSF.......



According to Coretemp and CPU-Z the speed is: 3712.43MHz (200.67 x 18.5) ..... i just did a multi jump.......

thanks for any suggestions.
 
thanks, ill give that a go after church.....havent had a chance since i bumped speed up to 3.7GHz....


edit: i should add that the OC is stable for normal usage, been running w/o turning off since 30 min or so before i posted the original post, ran a few games and normal usage(including ~8 hours of World Community Grid while i was asleep)....passing prime is just for peace of mind
 
Yeah, to me not passing prime for at least 24 hours is not really stable. Probably stable enough for regular gaming use, but I personally wouldn't use it like that. A slight voltage bump might help, but if it doesn't then just dropping it 100MHz would probably do the trick
