Got a fatal rounding error after 7 hours of prime95.

Would it be ok to keep my OC and ignores it?

or should I lower my OC to an ABSOLUTE stable level? (e.g. 24hours prime95 with no errors)

here's something strange, prime95 have three settings right?

1 to test the FPU only <-- wth is FPU, CPU?!!
2 to test FPU and some RAM.
3. to test FPU and lots of RAM.

I choose 1, same OC settings, 9+ hours, no errors.

what gives?!!

Does this mean my RAM is giving Prime95 errors? What can I do to fix this?

ok, I've found this.

OCCT Perestroïka 1.1.0

they say it's the FASTEST and most stressful test. If the system is unstable, it'll report error very fast

what do you think?

Where to get orthos?

I cant find it.

what about 1M SUPerpi, some ppl said it's fast for detecting errors too?

orthos have two version, one is for dual core/hyperthread and the other for single core?

I should choose the single core right?

eventhough it didnt specifically state that it's for single core.

is it just me, or is some of you going overkill with this?

I mean, damn, some overclocker even do three stress tests at the same time.

prime95, orthost and superPI. You dont even stress your system that much during normal usage. Not even close. By miles!!!

and they did it for like 36 hours!!!

Orthost priority 10 is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much for me.

Personally, I think if it's error free with a decent stress test (not a super crazy combo stress test), It should be stable enough for everyday use.

Unless microsoft excel = prime95, or ghost recon = orthost and photoshop = superpi. I dont think my OC-ed system would die on me.

So 24hours of orthos + 24hours of memtest86 + 10 loops of 3dmark2001SE = 100% stability? Well, maybe 99.99%?

Good enough?

damn, that means I'll have to live without my computer for 2 days.
