We can always increase it to 35+. The whole idea of running IBT is to show your system is stable. I was going to leave it to the honor system so everyone didn't have to take the time to run Prime95 for a minimum of 12 hours to prove that. I'm willing to leave it up to each person to make sure their OC is stable and just show 30 runs in IBT and if you have instability to use your own sense of fairness if your system is unstable to take it down a notch to where it is stable. If we can't rely on policing ourselves then maybe we'll have to start doing 12+ hour runs in prime to make certain. Remember, there are no prizes, no "braggin rights". This is an informational thread for other people to look at and see what kind of performance they can expect from any given chip (give or take). You're doing them a disservice and misleading them if you are running an unstable OC just to show you can "beat the other guys". The whole purpose of this thread is to dispel the false rumors and let the truth reign whether it's "good" or "bad".
