Stability testing - what do you use?

[cyclone3d]

I've finally been able to get my rig (in sig) fully stable.

I thought it was stable before I started doing F@H, but it would tank as soon as I walked away from my computer.

Didn't matter that it continually passed IntelBurnTest(high stress) and LinX(default setting), it still had issues with F@H.

Somebody suggested that I try a 4GB test on LinX to make sure it was stable.... it crashed in less than 1 minute.

After getting it fully stable, my F@H ppd almost doubled. Probably due to it barely being stable before.

So, just because it passes some tests doesn't mean it is fully stable even if it doesn't crash when you are using it for everyday stuff.

That being said.. what tests do you use and with what settings?

I use Core damage to test heat and stability.

This is funny because I have the same problem I had my x4 955 at 3.4 and I ran the amd overdrive stability test for 3 days no problems, I started folding again and I will come back from work with my pc crashed. But I had no problems with games only folding so I just went back to my stock clocks. I use prime 95 also it is pretty good.
