hmmm win 2000 huh?  Google got me here looks like memtest should work though

Prime95 Blend will chew up memory.

Set SuperPi to the lowest priority, and run it from a floppy disk

OI JOHN!!!! Q!!!!!!!!!

you guys should totally giveme some tips for my new 980x :) anything you can think of. you should know im on air for a while.

also, holy **** this thing runs cool >< 50c under load (at stock) 

cheers guys

I think most peeps start with multi's in the range of 29 to 32 and work from there. 

I use the vantage cpu tests just to get a rough idea of what a chip might be stable at, and I usually just jump right up to what I "hope" it can do based on others experience....why waste time in the 3.xGhz range?

Try to get it to pass 4ghz + on air.  I'd probably start at 4.2...and don't be afraid to give it some vcore.  It can handle a lot more than the quad cores.

would it be wise to throw it straight to 160blck and putting my ram to 2:10.

then work on the multi from there?

well in 5 1/2 hours i have managed to get it to 4.3ghz n air. temps are great, aeraging at aout 75, max on the 5th core of 81.

so far i have a 144clock and a multi of 30. it is currently stres testing with prime 95 blend.


@shock, the linx that you gave me was crap >< it doesnt get the cores anywhere near as hot as prime does and it will pass 10 passes then fail on 2 with exactly the same settings.

so far i about 2 hours in and its goin strong so wish me luck im goin for about 12 hours wit prime blend so i can call it a day.

hey now that the house is cooling down, temps are maxing out at abut 72c

how i wish i lived furthr suth i iss the cold weather ><

4 weeks down....
6 to go....

Great job hellshealer!  I'd say your rock stable @ 4 hrs...that's what we used to consider stable in the day.

Now, I don't even play with prime anymore...if it can bench it, it's good to go.

@nate...hang in there buddy...you'll be back in no time fashioning me a new block Jk.

 

I doooo still have the prototype for that mega block remember
