Prime 95 Error

How long should I be running SmallFFT for?

In my previous post, I said that I tested with a 35 multiplier and 1.105 which failed in 10 minutes. I dont think that is suppose to happen is it? Stock is 34 at 1.100.

How long can you run. Smallfft for? If it errors out at all you need more voltage. Set the voltage for the cpu to 1.2 and start from 5here. Going from 1.1 to 1.105 is not a big enough increase.

your trouble shooting 1.25 isnt going to hurt the processor and 1.65 isnt going to hurt your mem and alot of those vipers had issues running at 1.5v esp the 2133 sticks some wouldnt even post at 1.5v the rated on box speeds. but were fine with more v.

the error your seeing is looking like ram to me so id try more v on mem first then try more v on vcore to the cpu 2nd.

also make sure your ram is defaulting to the correct timings.

How much voltage is too much for my processor?

I'll try bumping up my voltage for my RAM. Hopefully that will fix the problem. I checked, and my mobo is running the RAM at the correct timing :)

your looking at a upper on good cooling that is lets say 1.30v-1.35v or so for 4.5- 4.7 ish clocks after about 4.5 the voltage really seems to cause heat increases by larger margins.

i'm doing 4.8@ 1.33 but its getting a tad warm i wish i had a beefier cooler for it at these voltages and not every chip will do 4.8 at those voltages and some wont stabilize 24/7 for you at all most people settle at 4.5 with lower voltages.
