tat just proved ure current overclock is not stable yet and prime stable doesn't mean it's 3d stable....to define a total stable overclock, u need to pass all 3 prime95, memtest86+ and 3dmark2001...btw i found a program call SNM which can detects error for both cpu and mem faster than prime/sp2004 and memtest...it also stresses ure cpu more and the temp shoots higher and faster compared to prime...u can give it a try if u need something to stress the cpu and mem faster b4 u go for a 24hours stressing running prime.

try running sp2004 small fft test with priority 10 for 24hours to test ure cpu stability
run memtest86+ with test #5 for 8 hours for ure ram stability and running 2dmark2001 with real time runtime (go to ure windows task manager, click on the processes tab and sekect 3dmark2001.exe and right click, select priority and select real time)
if u can pass all the criterias above then u'll have a 99% stable overclock

anyway it's something i read over in ocforums and applies to only those that go for a totally stable overclock...you can actually consider ure setup stable if u can play games for hours long but fail prime as soon as it starts....everyone has their own defination of a stable overclock depending on their needs

p/s: u might wanna check ure gfx if it's overclocked since it's a problem occured during gaming
*
Excellent suggestions evildonkey thanks.
Yes i gathered that the comp isn't totally stable the moment i started hanging playing games =].

i'm going under the assumption u mean to run the 3 tests seperately and not together right heh heh.
Anyway for me if i can't get the overclock to run at all the things i do then its not good enough for me.

To minimise the changes i have kept my fx5700 at stock with no overclocking.
so kinda strange that way. that it still hangs.
So what do u suppose could possibly be the issue here?
gfx problem?

Thanks for the input!

O/c at 2.3 gig is fine
210x11 at default voltage
game for over an hour then i realised i had to work the next day haha.

ran with large inplace fft or something like that.

seeing as 3d gaming mucks up wonder if its safe to increase a little to the agp voltage...hmmm....

try running 11x220 in memtest86+ with test #5 for 2-3 hours to see if ure mem is limiting you or not...if it's not then try upping ure vcore to 1.85 or 1.9 if u dare to try...if tat still doesn't work then i believe ure proc had reached its limit...u could try a slight bump on the vdd and vagp and see if it helps

pity if its the limit of the proc... sighs.
though i can still run windows normally at 2.5 gig
but as usual craps out at gaming haha
well i'll try these few other things out and see. thanks alot buddy!

Does it pass Large in-place FFT?

the best way to quick-stress your cpu is by putting 64K min, 512K max, in-place FFT, each FFT run for 5mins.

64K fits the L1 cache (x2), 512K fits the L2 cache.

btw... i'll be soon joining the rank. just waiting for my DTR Athlon XP tongue.gif

tried wit 1.85vcore. failed when i do folding. that's y now i use other stress test. cos i always failed doing a work unit.

My new CPU, same as tone's stepping. Using KT333 cry.gif, it primes fail at 12.5x166@1.4Vcore. sad.gif

Tone, can yours prime stable on that vcore and speed? just wondering....

EDIT: It's stable now. Don't know why....lol

pump voltage..overclock the bugger la...no need to test default one la.. biggrin.gif
dont pamper the proc ...hit it hard! ...

cubchai,

i would prefer CPU Burn-in tool for burn in. I only use SP2004/Prime95 for stability/stress testing

i'm trying sp2004 too. but dunno how to use it, in fact most of the software for stress/stability test. really dunno wat's the problem. someone once told me that maybe the problem came from the RAM. Once again my spec.
