i test run prime95 juz now,runing around 1 hour..no prob..but test run intel burn,fail...is tat mean no stable??

It seems so, and prime95 1 hour doesn't really prove stability. Run small FFT for processor-only-stress-test and blend for system stability.

Try prime at least for 7-8hours, but don't exceed critical temperature

which test did u choose?

hi fren wanna ask ur p55 ud6 using latest bios?core i3 got spread spectrum ENABLE and DISABLE option in bios?im using ud6 with i7 860 cant seem to find the setting to disable it?before this im using msi gd65 no problem finding the option then on gigabyte uiks weird dun have pulak..ayak...

its hidden. press ctrl+f1

press Ctrl + F1 at the main bios page, then go in M.I..T and it will appear under frequency setting page.

erkk dun have arr...weird?is it my bios version im using f7c.the bios flicker once when i press ctrl+f1 then open MIT nope nothing...its written spread spectrum or else?thnx

i assume urs is beta bios? the latest one is f9

i am using f9, f7c is a beta bios.
after flickered, it will appear under MIT.

thnx my fren...and oh ya wats the safest way to update ur bios.no choice but to update lastime i crashed the darn bios...kinda traumatized edi

hmm, gigabyte have dual bios, so 1 bios crash is ok what
i am using Q-flash, just copy the bios file to a pendrive, choose Q-flash, browse the bios file from your pendrive to flash..

Hey, im just curious whether is there such thing as the processor becomes weaker in overclocking after a few months / years time ? For example, now I can run it at 4ghz but in a few months time I will not be able to run it 4ghz stable due to degradation of processor.

it might degrade after 10 years, but i guess no one proof it yet..
cause no one use a processor that long i guess

i dun think it'll degrade that fast my fren.maybe ur OC arent stable.just saying..

Ok then. Im just having a thought of that My OC now is stable by the way..

new i5 member reporting..just get new cooler and start to learn oc my proc,me still new in the intel i series..

i manage to hit 3.6ghz with 1.28v and do prime test,but after 1 hour the prime stooped working,like the program crashes..but linx 20 loop passed nicely.

so ,is it had sumthing to do with stability of my proc or...?
googled and find same prob but they mention on vista OS..

it might be your memory or uncore is not stable..

How do I know my uncore speed on maximus iii gene?

mybe bro..because out of 5 memtest, 1 memtest showing an error and stop working..but suppose if the uncore not stable bsod shud happen rite?

OC just for measuring
