"In-place large FFT's" - 7 hours 0 errors u mean LinX ?

The ITB uses linpack, but if you passed Prime, you should be good to go.

If you are going to run tests after incrementally lowering your voltages, I recommend the Intel Burn Test in post #153, not LinX. Run it for 20 passes at max stress. It is quicker than running Prime for 8-10 hours after each voltage change.

Is this Intel test only stress CPU or RAM also ? Ok, hope to begin testing tomorrow night or maybe on Monday

IMO, the voltages that you could possibly lower, and still be stable are listed below. I think that your CPU FSB voltage is too high. Looking at the hardware that you are using and the frequency that you are running, I feel that you could run at 1.30v. I would lower the CPU FSB voltage first and test, then the MCP voltage and test, and the CPU voltage would be the last one. CPU Core – 1.46875 (I would shoot for the lowest possible voltage) CPU FSB – 1.425V (I would try 1.30v) nForce MCP – 1.550V (I would try 1.50v)

Alex, if you take your CPU vcore down too low.....yes, you will get a BSOD.

1.3 vcore is too low, IMO. That's the stock voltage for this 65nm chip. Very little research will show you that you do, infact need plenty of volts to this chip in order to get anything near stable when overclocking. You're pretty close to having it all done...glad you finally got it figured out !

I suggested 1.30v for the CPU FSB voltage, not the CPU voltage. If it does not work, he can raise it.

I run at 4.0Ghz and 1800Mhz linked and synced with a CPU FSB of 1.25v.

On mine....what I do Alex is this.....when stability has been found at whatever speed I'm running at....then, I manually set in the same exact GTL settings that Auto is assigning to them. This is to make sure that Auto does not end up possibly changing them later.
