QUOTE(busta_dude @ Jun 7 2010, 12:25 PM) Guys, I'm new in Quaddie. I just bought an OEM QX9650 and I OC it to 3.990GHz using 9.5 x 420FSB. I left my PC on with OCCT mix test for 4Hours++ then I stopped it because need to do some work. The max Temp it reached 79C. Is it can considered stable. My pc are not running 24/7. Only ON when I feel like gaming. if you not confident enough, you can test it for 6-10 hours. its should be good if you can get better cooling.  |

i see, cooling solution is not bad.
maybe you can find the lowest vcore that is still stable with the overclock. or may consider liquid cooling.  |

QUOTE(monsh @ Jun 23 2010, 11:07 PM) haiyark that's like ur saying any car can drive at 100 but y buy mercedez instead ? wao, error after 10 hours, that is speechless.its because of the safety liao . please remember than unstable overclock might be harmful to your hardware as well . example, auto restart and such, can affect ur hardware . i'd say a solid 8 hours is a good stress test . but my low end rig failed after 10 hours . now that is stressful to me T_T possibly unstable ram . but my system abit cripple, all stock setting, but occt test got error after 1 hour.  i don't know whats going on. |

QUOTE(shinjite @ Jun 23 2010, 11:35 PM) Your case is the worst case scenario..... i also don't know whats going on.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 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. |
