Your case is the worst case scenario.....

Prior to my current setup, I also facing Prime fail at core 3 or 4 within 1 hour, sometimes within 6 hours
the other 3 cores are okay....that's frustrating

i also don't know whats going on.
i m using AMD Phenom FX-5000 also.
overclock before, undervoltage before, now back to stock setting.
sometime, even windows calculator also can generate calculation error.

Have you tried reformatting to a new fresh OS?

What mobo are you using for ur AMD FX 5000?

i reformat before, because last time overclock until windows corrupted.
i m using DFI lanparty JR 790GX M2RS.

Your board basically packs more punch haha
Mine el cheapo board only haha

i see. but now i also didn't play overclock liao. abit waste for this board.

You can do a mild OC haha
Get it too 3Ghz stable 24/7
At least the number 3 is still better than 2

hmm.. actually i m using value ram, it prevent me from clock beyond 2.8GHz.

Hmm....weird
My first Corsair Value Select enabled me to go 3.3Ghz adi
Basically I just run the RAMs at 800Mhz

i m using cheap cheap kingston value ram.
haih, nevermind, didn't play already.

lets say u're famous, or politician. it is appropriate for u to get an armored car for safety purposes coz there is high chance som1 will wanna kill/harm u.
but if u're a normal person, not famous, no ntgh, getting an armored car, u're just being paranoid. y dun just get normal car?
i hope u understand the metaphor.

yes, unstable OC will harm other h/w as well.....
but dis doesn't mean 10 minutes if prime is not stable. it is very much solid.

metaphor:
it's like comparing 2 cars, car A wit 90% safety rating, car B wit 50% safety rating.
yes, car A is safer den car B, but the point is, lets say minimum passing score is 40%, even though car B is less safe compared to car A, it is good enough.

I agree with your statement n even do that for my oc system but at a slightly longer period.

i have one with multiplier unlocked. I can get easy 4ghz by running same fsb and same ram spd but multiplier at 12.

I dun think its a proper way to OC....or izzt?
