What's the best way to burn in a chip from u guys experience ar? I've never had to do burn in coz always been lucky to get gem CPUs that OC like hell straight from the box.

This time not so lucky. My X2 4200+ oni can max out to 2.42ghz dual prime stable at stock voltage. That's y I've been burning it in by dual priming for like 12 hours, stop to let AS5 settle, then dual prime 12 hours again, on off on off like that. How long shud I burn in b4 pushing for more FSB again? I've read that we shud burn in for bout a week, then push FSB, burn another week, push FSB again in that order until u c no more gains in FSB.

I dont think there is a "best way" of burning-in a cpu. Everyone got their own resipi to burn-in tho. laugh.gif

What i knew is, you try to stress your cpu at certain clock speed with certain vcore for long period of time. After the stress/burn-in, try to prime and see weather its stable o not. If not, increase the vcore by little (until the system is stable), then find out the max stable clock at that vcore, and stress/burn-in again for long period.

Continue the process until you felt the vcore is high enough for your proc. Then, switch back to the lower vcore. If you lucky enough, you "might" stable up a few MHz with the same vcore you set last time.

Ya. I've read up on the different methods. I've gone the way of highest stable OC at stock Vcore. For me that's currently 2.42ghz at stock Vcore. Been dual priming it like hell. Longest I went was 23 hours sumthin until I stopped it. Coz I remembered that my AS5 is also new so it needs cool down n heat up cycles to really bed in. So I've been priming, cooling, priming, cooling to also gif the AS5 a chance to bed in. After a week of that, I'm gonna try for 2.6ghz at stock vcore n c what happens after that. Hoping to get more mhz.
