Question about Orthos

[delvryboy]

Should running the blend test or the small FFTs test?

Seems I can run the blend all day long and can only make it a minute before fialing the FFTs.

I never run blend, it doesnt stress anything.

 

[delvryboy]

I thought it would be the most complete test. Obviously it was giving me false security.

Run Small FFTS for CPU stress stability, then memtest for memory stability.

See my thread above this one (24hr prime stable...) Blend is the only thing I get errors on.

Blend will stress the memory subsystem and the CPU but at a lesser extend. Small FFT doesn't stress the memory but it will stress the CPU a lot.

Actually, the best way to ensure stability is to first test Small FFT and if it pass with flying colors, redo the test with blend to make sure the memory is up to the task as well.

Try again with lower FSB

Try again with lower FSB

The multiplyer is locked. I upped the voltage a little and all is good.

 

[delvryboy]

I mean, max 9. so a lower fsb would defeat my intent.

 

[Nenu]

The multiplier isnt the FSB.
I think what Stonedrop is saying is that you are overclocked too far and should try backing off your overclock off a bit to see if it helps.
Glad you got it sorted, watch the temps

 

[delvryboy]

I realize that. I guess I meant to say....I know my overclock is too much, I need to stabilize the FSB I am using now.
