Re: CPU-z (so which is it?) Is there a way to turn it off/ do I want to turn it off? I tried turning off the SpeedStep thing in the BIOS and cpuz still shows the clocked down speed. Whenever I run Prime 95 it shows the right results.
I got to 4.05GHz. I see my RAM is running at 901 now (stock is 800). |

Look Outside | Failed Prime95 after 2 hours with 445FSB (4GHz). Should I try upping the voltage or it's not meant to be? |

| Not sure why your RAM is at 901 Mhz, based on the clocks above should be 890. That seems like quite the fluctuation.
Anyways, if it's running at that speed, and only getting 1.8 V, that's liable to cause an issue. I'd probably bump it up to 1.9. |

2 edits | RAM is 891 when FSB is 445. RAM is 901 when FSB is set to 450.
I upped the RAM to 1.9V and the vcore to 1.38 and Prime95 still fails between 2 and 8 hours at 445 FSB (4.0 GHz). Computer works though, so what's the deal?
What does Prime95 failing after 8 hours equate to under normal use of the computer (ie. will the computer lock up if I'm using it and not running Prime95 or what?) |

Usually means you need to bump the vcore up about one notch. After 10 hours of prime blend, the test just resets... So 10 hours stable in prime should be good.
If you do not already have 25.11, get it... =)
