Hey guys i've used Prime96 couple times
i did a torture test and clicked on the icon > IN place large FFT's (maximum heat, power consumption , some ram rested) after a couple mins
i get an error?
What does the error mean for that?

What it says exactly is.
Fatal Error :Rounding was 0.5 , expected less than 0.4

Reall would appreaciate if something could tell me what this meant.

Thanks in advance
 
Ok thanks for telling me i will increase my vcore and see what happens.

is your system overclocked?

Yea its overclocked i raised my FSB to 225
Does raising the Fsb also raise my ram?
Cuz when i see it in bios says DDR460
or something

yes, use a divider

Dang i've got a long way to learn it seems.
Now i finally lowered my FSB to 225 and i get an error when running Prime 95.

How do i tighten my timings?I wanted to change the fsb:ram ratio
is that also in bios?
I can't seem to find it
 
Before overclocking, you should probably learn how to overclock.

Prime95 is failing because your system isn't stable.

Well it seems stable doesn't crash or anything
but wheni do the tortures test it says critical error 0.5 expected less than 0.4
I am not sure what should i do . I tried raising the voltage to the cpu and ram and nothing helped actually raising the ram made it 0.48XXXX then i raised the cpu voltage and it turned to 0.49XXXX

Well i read all the Overclock guide and stuff i was just mearly asking a question. If you could help just give me a suggestion don't tell me to learn how to overclock when that is why i am here.
 
If it fails Prime95, it means that is miscalculated a mathematical equation. Most processes (games, browsing, etc) aren't as exact as Prime95. So your PC may work fine with everything, but not Prime95. Generally, you can ignore Prime95 unless you want 100% stability. Simple fact is, if it fails Prime95, it miscalculated something and is not 100% stable.
