there is no better stress test, and actually these 3 are very similar to eachother, as they all basically branched off P95 stressing methods..theres also Orthos.

i like occt better than prime thats why i just deleted prime because it will take about 6 hours for prime to figure out somethings wrong with your OC lol so i just use OCCT with auto 1h you can pretty much figure out if youre stable or not then if you fail in the next 3 hours of occt you will just need a little tweaking or cpu getting too hot... yeah just use occt i think of prime as a cheat for stability :P

how do you feel about running @ 1.575 24/7? isnt that a big too high/ unhealthy for the chip? i mean the temps on these chips are amazing...and i just took ur 3rd place sorry bro. =/

uhhh lol oc for me means squeezing every single mhz out of my money... i dont care about being the fastest chip in the world... doing a database so people can reference to and hopefully will help other people with their oc... i dont see why you replied like that with my view of OCCT and prime95 lol???

i have gotten it to 3.9, but nothing stable yet. i am thinkin about upping the vcore but i'm a little bit anxious about it now... i'm getting up in like 1.6 and i haven't done that since i had my e2220 at 3.6.... 50% oc, but it was HOT

cpuz Validation

i get 3dmark scores higher than you with my 720 with a higher clock... the fourth core isn't really stable at all and after i got a screenshot of me with it reading 4 cores i quickly disabled it again. really you should just try for a higher oc.

LinX/IntelBurnTest tests to be more gruesome than these, at least in terms of sheer processor load/heat.

uhhh look at the validation it should say 4x64/64/512 no need for screen shots... ive never seen a higher cpu score than 4800 on 720BE... probably you can... can you please post a 3dmark06 public link with your x3... i mean im really curious now... im thinking of changing to am3 mobo soon thats why im asking... kinda hard with all talk no proof to compare my new am3/ddr3 combo in may...

elito · 03-21-09

this is out of topic..but uh, i since my OC ive always wondered why the hell do i get such lower scores on the mem. read test in EVEREST, 3rd place(5.0 version - latest) getting beat by that 6400+ x2 blackedition, so i went into bios and tried GANGED mem mode instead and BOOM! i got 750 points more from the original and yea just wanted to share that, maybe everest is a single threaded app tahts why? but either way, i cant really see the difference with my own eyes eitehr in ganged or unganged, but ill stick with ganged for now since these numbers are higher in ganged mode.

Nice Systems Everyone, Wait till i get my system up and running next month and ill see wha i can do for you all
