Guidelines for Thorough Stability Testing
As of late, I've been seeing more and more of my fellow overclockers tossing the concept of stability to the wind, and running their un-tested machines carefree, unaware of the perils and pitfalls which may await them.
As I write this, I'm blasting some music on my computer, running a graphics card stress tester in the background just for the heck of it, and burning a CD. I can do all this on my overclocked machine with complete peace of mind knowing that my music won't stop playing, my stress testing won't crash, and my CD won't get messed up. And yeah, it's pretty likely that Windows won't go and pull a blue screen of death on me either.
How is this possible? Aren't I overclocked? Well, I've also stability tested my computer thoroughly, and know it to be stable.
I'm writing this guide for everyone, even those of you who already know what is involved in thorough stability testing (you know who you are!) – if these words are used as reference, or are helpful in any way, then they've served their purpose. This isn't an almighty rulebook or anything, just a few extremely good guidelines to try and follow when stability testing your computer.
My goal is for every single overclocker in the world to know how to thoroughly test their machine for instability.
Let's get right into the guts of this.
Your computer is a tool, made to aid you in performing a variety of tasks, whether it's playing a favorite game, burning a CD, or writing up your twenty page Philosophy term paper.
When your computer is running, it's stressing itself; it's usually working pretty hard, how much depending of course on what you're doing with it. Your tool is seeing some use; as a hammer gets bashed and swung, your computer is performing all kinds of processes. If your hardware is unstable, it's bound to make a mistake sooner or later - your very expensive hammer is going to either crack, or fall apart and hit you in the face.
Without trying to scare anyone; that mistake could happen while you're defragmenting your hard-drive, or it could happen just as you're saving that previously mentioned twenty page philosophy term paper on Post-Modern Existentialism that you've been slaving over for the last month (I hope you backed it up).
That little mistake could cost you everything on your hard-drive.
In short, if your computer hasn't been stability tested, it's entirely possible that it isn't stable, and is going to mess up on you at just the wrong moment. It's Murphy's Law, and it happens all too often for my liking.
If you're still not impressed, go to your local store, and spend lots of money on a tool. Then do something to it so it doesn't work properly. This tool is your computer.
From Prime95 Readme
Today's computers are not perfect. Even brand new systems from major manufacturers can have hidden flaws. If any of several key components such as CPU, memory, cooling, etc. are not up to spec, it can lead to incorrect calculations and/or unexplained system crashes.....
.....For these reasons, both non-overclockers and overclockers need programs that test the stability of their computers.....
Stability isn't just important for us overclockers, it's important for people who use stock hardware as well. However, we overclockers are at far greater risk because of what we do to our hardware.
When we overclock, we push the limits of how fast our hardware can run; we add strain to our hardware in day-to-day use, and we drastically increase the chances of having an unstable setup, even if everything looks peachy on the surface (or desktop if you will).
Almost all of us have had some experience with instability: trying for that extra speed step, and getting a reboot, or getting artifacting after clocking up our video card. On the surface, more voltage, less speed, or better cooling makes the problem go away. But underneath the underneath, a potential for instability still exists; you can never be sure just how solid your setup is until you've tested it thoroughly and properly.
This potential for instability is a very important concept that many of us disregard – many people are of the mindset that if it looks O.K. on the surface, and if it runs O.K. for the odd light gaming or benching session, then it probably is O.K.
This mentality is nicely comparable to that of someone looking at quicksand – quicksand looks solid on the surface (surface = desktop). Unknown to the observer however, quicksand is all mushy, to some degree, underneath the surface (underneath = a processor doing some complex math). The dangerous quicksand and the perfectly safe sand-by-the-beach both look the same from a surface perspective.
From Prime95 Readme
"Why run a stress test if you are going to ignore the results?" These people want a guaranteed 100% rock solid machine. Passing these stability tests gives them the ability to run CPU intensive programs with confidence.
You can take a little bit of time, and test your machine thoroughly; you can poke at that suspicious looking sand with a big long stick, and see if it's safe for you to walk on or not. This is where we move away from my awareness-raising scare tactics, and extremely clever metaphors, and move towards actual techniques involving three really awesome pieces of software that you can use to thoroughly stability test your machine. In the next section I'll deal in-depth with some effective stability testing methods, as well as some of the specifics of stability testing that everyone should know about .

To be perfectly honest with everyone, stability testing isn't all that complicated.
Awareness is way more than half the battle.
There are three programs which I live by when it comes to stability testing, two more so than the third, but I digress.
These three programs are Prime95, 3DMark, and memtest86. All three are small programs that are completely free and easily accessible to anyone running a Windows machine with internet access. Respectively, these programs focus on stress testing your CPU, your GPU, and your RAM.
There are also tons of other stress testing programs which are effective to varying degrees – when it comes to these it's all about using what you feel is necessary, credible, and thorough. Some of the many stress testing programs I'm not going to mention or talk about are fairly effective substitutes for the ones which I am going to talk about.
However, if you skip any of the "big three" - CPU, GPU, and RAM - you really aren't being thorough enough, to put it bluntly. Three programs, one of each focusing on CPU, GPU, and RAM, do need to be used, as individually they are inconclusive.
One important thing for you to remember is that this is not an opinion. This is a fact that is backed up by a lot of experience, most of which isn't mine; rather that of the millions of other overclockers out there.
Of further importance, is the factor of general system stability at manufacturer settings. Before overclocking or tweaking your machine, one should ensure that all hardware is operating properly and with integrity. Overclocking an unstable machine then stress testing it, finding errors, and spending hours troubleshooting a problem inherent to some faulty component, isn't something anyone wants to put themselves through! Sometimes a component is simply faulty to begin with, and needs to be replaced or switched out.
Stability is also not always compromised by CPU, GPU, or Memory processing errors as a result of overclocking or heat. Instability can also be a result of other components failing or causing conflicts, most notably a machine's PSU (Power Supply Unit), Motherboard, and internal add-on cards.
When overclocking, we add strain to our computer PSU, requiring higher power output from it. This can compromise the consistancy of a unit's voltage outputs, causing it to deliver inadequate power to the computer. Especially when paired a high power draw overclocked machine, low voltage rails often compromise stability, even when no processing errors or faults are occuring with the computer's other hardware. Such intstability will manifest itself through errors during the following 'reccomended' testing procedures, and might even appear to be CPU GPU or RAM specific! If instability is experienced, it is important to rule out one's PSU by testing it with a load - using a voltmeter to read the PSU's output voltages while stress testing the computer with the same test that previously generated errors. If readouts are normal, if they don't fluctuate or droop when the test load is applied, the PSU can generally be ruled out as a source of error.
Motherboard integrity is more difficult to pinpoint, but can usually be ruled out by researching known issues with one's specific board, or by testing the machine's responses to the sort of changes that would compromise the motherboard, without the simultanious application of CPU GPU or RAM overclocks. These variables include things such as overvoltages, PCI AGP or PCI-E frequencies, newer/older/aftermarket BIOS revisions,and general frequency changes independant of CPU GPU or memory clockspeeds.
Sometimes an external device, such as a wireless USB adaptor or a printer, can create hardware or software conflicts that will compromise a computer's stability. This sort of instability is usually quite easy to pinpoint - for example: if you add a new device and your machine starts crashing every five minutes, if the errors go away when the new device is removed... you can usually infer the cause of the errors through simple application of logic and common sense
When stability testing the various components within your machine, it is a good idea to try and test them more or less 'one at a time'. If we test our processor while running an unstable memory overclock, for example, we might attribute instability present in our RAM to an otherwise perfectly stable and rock solid CPU overclock.
To remove alternate sources of error, one should clock up and overvolt one component at a time while stability testing, focusing testing on the altered component's integrity while the overclock is in place. By focusing on one component at a time, and keeping other component's running at confirmed-stable manufacturer's specifications, we make it a lot easier to rule out alternate sources of error. This allows us to easily tweak the source of error (whichever overcocked component it might be) back into a stable setting before proceeding with other hardware.
By ruling out alternate sources of error, we test with the confidence that any errors we discover are a result of the single modified component that has been configured with settings of unknown integrity.
For the same reasons, it is important to confirm a machine's integrity at stock settings before overclocking it, and important to ensure the integrity of a PSU if errors are discovered.
Ultimately, it does us no good knowing the machine is unstable, if we do not know which part of the machine is unstable. It is impossible to take appropriate measures towards ensuring stability, if we don't know which component needs adjustments.
Of course, testing components alone is no measure of an entire system's stability. If everything within your computer is aggressively overclocked and overvolted, some tests should be run with all your alterations in place, to make sure that none of the adjusted settings are causing conflicts with each other that would not normally manifest themselves at purely stock settings, or partially overclocked settings.
Now that we've covered some basic principles of stability testing, and some common problems we might encounter independant of CPU GPU and RAM, lets go over CPU, GPU, and RAM specific testing in three easy to follow steps .
We'll start with the CPU.
There is one program that is very widely viewed as the CPU stability-tester to rule over all CPU stability testers, for good reason, and that program is Prime95.
There are many alternatives to Prime95 for CPU stress testing, some of which are highly effective and very easy to use. Although Prime95 is a well-proven "tried, tested, and true" stress test program, some of the alternatives are by no means inferior. I choose to keep Prime95 here, as the 'recommended' CPU stress tester, due to its time tested effectiveness. Prime95 is not definitively 'the best', I only recommend its use because I know that it is highly effective.
Please keep in mind that Prime95 can error even with a completely stable processor overclock. Unstable memory, or other system problems can also cause erroring in Prime95 - your processor is not the sole potential cause of Prime95 testing errors.
From Prime95 Readme
This program is a good stress test for the CPU, memory, caches, CPU cooling, and case cooling. The torture test runs continuously, comparing your computer's results to results that are known to be correct. Any mismatch and you've got a problem!
The work which Prime95 makes your chip do will bring your processor up to a near-peak load temperature, which in turn helps stress your processor as much as possible, while also conveniently giving you an idea of what your load temperatures are. Any potential for instability that's present will be found by Prime95 after a sufficient amount of time, given that you use the software properly.
You can download the latest version of Prime95 here: http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm
First, install the program as you would any other. Next, run it, and go to the 'Advanced' tab – select 'Password'. Type in the password 9876 and enter it. Now go back to the 'Advanced' tab, and select 'Priority'. Set the priority level to 10.
This effectively gives all of your system resources to Prime95 when it is running – now any processes running hidden in the background won't be able to steal work time from Prime95, ensuring the most effective stress test possible.
At the very bottom of this post, a picture has been uploaded to further clarify Priority Ten setup for Prime95.
When you want to stress test your processor, run Prime95, go to the 'Options' tab, and select 'Torture Test'. Run the Torture test at the default settings.
Make sure that you have turned off any screensavers, and closed all other applications when Prime95 is running.
Prime95 should never be run in tandem with any other stress testing programs, period. Prime95 is known and proven to be most effective when run by itself, and is less thorough when used with something else running at the same time. If you use Motherboard Monitor Five to monitor your temperatures, you should turn the interval time way down – 60 seconds is appropriate.
If you have an Intel processor with Hyper Threading, you need to run two instances of Prime95 for complete effectiveness. This is proven fact; in that two instances of Prime95 will catch instability that one instance won't, on an Intel machine with HT. In order to run two instances simultaneously, simply install a second copy of Prime95 in a different folder, and run it in tandem with your original. Priority ten should be used for both instances of Prime95 in this case.
When you are stability testing with Prime95, you want to run the Torture Test for at least 24 hours. Why 24 hours?
There is a very common misconception that if your machine can pass Prime95 stability testing for, say, four hours, your machine will be able to run stable, regardless of what you are doing, for four hours as well, without issue. This is simply not the case.
Prime95 often finds errors in its 16th - 20th hour of testing, a potential for instability that wasn't found after only four hours of testing. After only four hours of Prime95, the potential for instability still exists. 24 hours is widely viewed as a sufficient time period to catch any instability that may be present, but by all means test longer if you are able.
If 24 hours seems like an extraordinarily long time to leave your computer on, keeping your machine unusable because of the processes it's doing, try running Prime95 overnight, and then through to all day while you're at school or work.
For CPU specific testing, a Large FFT Prime95 test is an alternative to the more "system-stress" oriented Blend test that runs by default. The choice is ultimately up to the end user - the Blend test is reccomended in these guidelines because of it's qualities as both a processor and system stress test.
That's all there is to Prime95 – 24 hours of Prime95 at Priority ten is "certified stable", and ready to rock for 24/7 use.
Distributed computing
A lot of people run distributed computing programs 24/7, which constantly keep their CPU at full stress load while helping to aid important scientific research.
Running a program like Folding@Home or SETI after passing 24 hours of Prime95 is a superb way to constantly keep an eye on your system's stability, while also aiding Medical research, or the search for extraterrestrial life.
It is imperative that one does not run a distributed computing program on a machine that hasn't been stability tested, as mistake-filled results do not in any way help the effort.
For more detailed information about these distributed computing programs, check out the ocforums SETI and F@H team forums.

StressPrime2004 Orthos
A new program called StressPrime2004 Orthos, based on the Gromacs core (which is used with F@H) and designed for CPU stability testing, is a highly viable alternative to Prime95. The Gromacs core is known to be very stressful on an overclock, this program should be very effective.
You can download StressPrime2004 Orthos here: http://sp2004.fre3.com/beta/beta2.htm
SuperPi, a Pi calcation program, is another excellent and widely proven CPU stess tester. The '32M' length benchmark is an easy-to-use indication of stability, and is usually quite accurate. A SuperPi software mod that can be looped indefinitely is in the works - such a program will be ideal for long-term processor stability testing.
SupePi can be downloaded here: http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=36

Another processor stress tester like 'Toast', designed to maximize temperature and power draw.
CPUBurn can be downloaded from the project page here: http://pages.sbcglobal.net/redelm/
This program is really amazing. Made by a group French overclockers, with the intention of being an enthusiast-oriented stress-tester, OCCT is perhaps the very future of processor stability testing. This program is extremely effective - it will peak your processor temperature at a full workload, and in a relatively (compared to Prime95) brief period of time give a very thorough indication of processor stability.
OCCT can be downloaded here: http://www.ocbase.com/perestroika_en/index.php?Download
Toast is a temperarure-increasing processor stress tester that will take your chip right up to a peak load temperature and keep it there. Toast is a good indication of long-term stability, and excellent for testing the capacity of one's cooling.
Toast is available here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=867
When it comes to stability, 3D testing is often overlooked completely. Many people do not overclock their video cards, and as such decide that 3D stability tests are a waste of their time. They couldn't be more wrong! An increasingly common phenomenon is an overclock which will pass Prime95 and memtest86 for 24 hours, but lock or crash 3DMark in a few minutes – it is for this reason that 3DMark testing is a good idea. And for those who do overclock their video cards, 3DMark is an invaluable video card stability testing tool.
From 3DMark 2001 SE Readme
3DMark2001 SE is a diagnostics tool for measuring the 3D game performance of PCs. It is entertaining and easy to use, which makes it "must have" software for all home PC users interested in 3D games. Even a beginner PC user can get a game performance measurement with 3DMark2001 SE. For the more advanced users, 3DMark2001 SE offers a wide range of display settings and testing options for the benchmark run.
You can download 3DMark 2003 here: http://www.futuremark.com/download/?3dmark03.shtml
You can download 3DMark 2005 here: http://www.futuremark.com/download/?3dmark05.shtml
You can download 3DMark 2006 here: http://www.futuremark.com/download/3dmark06/
Using 3DMark as an effective stability test is a little bit different from using it to bench your machine. There are two main ways to effectively use 3DMark as a stability tester. Running all of the tests looped in order to test your entire machine, or running only the Nature test (from 3DMark01 or 3DMark03) looped while checking visually for artifacting in order to test your video card at peak load temperatures.
Artifacting, or 'snow', is a term for visual erroring, almost always caused by graphics card instability. Artifacting most commonly makes itself apparent through large geometric objects flickering in and out on your screen, texture corruption (checker boarding), and 'texture snow', which appears as many white specks.
After installing 3DMark, run the program, and select all the 'game' tests for use. Now set the benchmark for 'looping', so that all the tests you have selected will loop indefinitely. With looping, the benchmark will not stop after one run, which will enable you to stress test with 3DMark for several hours. Next press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and go to the Task Manager. Right-Click on the 3DMark icon in the 'applications' tray, and select 'Go To Process'. Right click on the process you are taken to, and select 'Set Priority'. Set the Priority to 'Realtime'. This needs to be done every time you use 3DMark for stress testing.
Giving the program 'Realtime' priority effectively gives all of your system resources to 3DMark when it is running – any processes running in the background won't steal resources from 3DMark while it's stress testing, ensuring the most thorough test possible.
Make sure any screensavers are turned off, and that no other applications are running, and start running the tests when you're ready.
You should always run 3DMark by itself, never at the same time as any other stress testers. This ensures that it's doing the most thorough job that it can.
Because 3DMark will almost always lock within the first ten test run loops, if it's going to lock at all, 4 hours of looped testing is a more than sufficient test for your machine. After four hours of looped testing, 3DMark has done all it really can, and likely isn't going to catch any instability.
From Above
An increasingly common phenomenon is an overclock which will pass Prime95 and memtest86 for 24 hours, but lock or crash 3DMark in a few minutes – it is for this reason that 3DMark testing is a good idea.
The reverse is also often true; many machines can run 3DMark for hours and hours without issue, but will fail Prime95 or memtest86 after a short period of time; 3DMark isn't particularly useful as a system stability test when used by itself.
Other tests in newer versions of 3DMark can also be very effectively used to detect artifacting and video card instabilty, although the Nature test in 01 and 03 is often regarded as the best at getting your video card's core and RAM temperatures to a peak, and keeping them there.
A useful program with built in overclocking features, and a built in stress tester. ATiTool is not always entirely accurate, and is known to pass overclocks that are not actually stable when applied to games or 3D Benchmarks.
ATiTool is useful though, especially with ATi video cards.
ATiTool can be downloaded from the project page here: http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/
Memory instability is perhaps the stability-aware overclocker's second worst nightmare, because of the problems it can cause. Luckily for all of us, this superb little program exists. It's idiot-proof, really small, and fantastically effective at sleuthing out any memory instability. Because memtest86/memtest86+ tests as much of your RAM as is possible, it's a stand-alone program, meaning it needs to be run outside of your OS.
Please keep in mind that memtest86 can still error even with a completely stable memory system/subsystem. An unstable processor, or other system problems can also cause erroring in memtest86 - your memory is not the sole potential cause of memtest86 testing errors.
From memtest86 Readme
There are many good approaches for testing memory. However, many tests
simply throw some patterns at memory without much thought or knowledge
of the memory architecture or how errors can best be detected. This
works fine for hard memory failures but does little to find intermittent
errors. The BIOS based memory tests are useless for finding intermittent
memory errors.
The choice is really up to personal preference.
You can download memtest86 here: http://www.memtest86.com
You can download memtest86+ here: http://www.memtest.org/
It's fantastically easy. A quote from the memtest86 Readme:
From memtest86 Readme
memtest86 is a stand alone program that cannot be executed under windows and must
be loaded from a floppy disk.
To install Memtest86:
- Extract the files from the zip archive
- Open the directory where the files were extracted and click on "install.bat".
- The install program will prompt you for the floppy drive and also prompt you to
insert a blank floppy.
- To run Memtest86 leave the floppy in the drive and reboot.
NOTE: After the boot floppy has been created you will not be able to read the floppy
from windows. This is normal.
After installing memtest86/memtest86+ onto a floppy, simply reboot your computer with the floppy still in the drive. memtest86 consists of 11 different tests (Note: The newest version of memtest contains only 9 tests, with the additional tests having been removed). By default, tests #1 through #7 will run in order, endlessly. For our purposes, this is perfect. Once memtest86/memtest86+ starts running, simply leave it, and let it go for 24 hours.
As with Prime95, 24 hours really is required for a complete and thorough memtest86/memtest86+ stability test, and for the exact same reasons. I'll quote myself for reference sake.
From Above
When you are stability testing with Prime95, you want to run the Torture Test for at least 24 hours. Why 24 hours?
There is a very common misconception that if your machine can pass Prime95 stability testing for, say, four hours, your machine will be able to run stable, regardless of what you are doing, for four hours as well, without issue. This is simply not the case.
Prime95 often finds errors in its 16th - 20th hour of testing, a potential for instability that wasn't found after only four hours of testing. After only four hours of Prime95, the potential for instability still exists. 24 hours of Prime95 is a slight 'overkill', but you can never be too careful. 24 hours is widely viewed as a sufficient time period to catch any instability that may be present, but by all means test longer if you are able.
Many people also use specific memtest86/memtest86+ tests by themselves, to test out a new FSB or memory overclock quickly in order to see whether it's likely to be stable or not. Tests 5 and 6 in particular are very good for this. However, 24 hours of all the tests on loop is your end-all solution to memory stability testing.
Below I have attached pictures, which should help make clear how to set up Prime95 for priority 10 stress testing, and 3DMark at 'Realtime' Priority.
Some pictures of different types of visual artifacting could be added as well, to give an idea of what to look for during 3D artifact testing. If anyone has a few really clear pictures of different types of artifacting, preferrably from one of the 3DMark builds, please PM me - I'll add them in.

I really, really hope that this little guide has been helpful.
If youve read through the entire thing, and found it educational, then it has succeeded. If you read only the beginning, and learned a little bit about the dangers of instability, then it has succeeded.
The big goal here is for everyone to be aware of the potential for stability problems, and know how to test for them properly. This is an unrealistic goal, but every person who learns something about stability, and proper, thorough, stress testing, is one less potential victim of stability-related disaster.
Im thinking about adding a little bit of information on the philosophies of stability, the different schools of thought on the issue, and different courses of action people take. Im also thinking of making a little list of some of the lesser stress testing programs, and where to get them Some of them are very worthwhile, if inferior substitutes to the Big Three. Ive left out really specific stress testing, such as that designed to stress test your hard-drive. The Big Three do quite a thorough job of testing an entire system if used properly, and together, and I dont find it pertinent to clutter an extremely long, but basically simple guide like this with arguably unnecessary information.
One thing this guide is completely devoid of is solutions to instability. This is intentional, as lots of material exists that will aid anyone running an unstable machine in getting it up to par.
If I have missed anything important, worded something really poorly, or not gone as in-depth as I should have on some issue, please PM me.
If anyone has any questions or comments please do take the time to post, or drop me a PM.

I spend half my money on CPUs, GPUs, and Liquid Nitrogen. The other half I waste.
Good job m8. That was a very good article/ sticky.
Just might add one thing. Prime doesn't work on all systems and before I here gasps of amaze and booing about my having a hard time with a bad overclock, let me explain myself. I "had" , sold now, some ram that would run up to 233 prime stable, 2*512 sticks of EB. Now I have Kingston VR 2*256 BT D43 and it won't pass prime at 220, even though everything else will pass. I can run it stock, and it will still fail. I can up voltages and loosen timings till doomsday, and the time that Prime fails in is always 5 mins.
Given that, I've decided that Prime doesn't like my ram. I've run Memtest, 3DMark 01,03, and 05 perfectly. I've run Burn in Test, Hot CPU Tester, Superpi, and numerous other programs that test for errors, and nothing has come up.
I just wanted to make that clear for some people. Now that doesn't mean that you can throw Prime out the window because you don't like the fact that it errors at you when you are overclocked a lot and it didn't before. I tried that once, and I had to reinstall Windows, and that hdd is still acting really weird. SO don't do it.
Also, I've been pushing my system, which when I can't run prime is difficult. I'm trying to get to 260 right now, so I'm running 260*10, 1.9V, 3-4-4-11 at 2.8V, 1.9V vdd, ACPI off, fast write off, normal stuff off. It will pass everything, but 3Dmark 01, which I use for absolute 3D stability, because it works so well. I get about half way through, and then I get an error message. I've run Memtest and the others to test for errors, but I can't find any, and raising voltages etc doesn't help.
Do you have a faint clue to what my wall is right now? I'm racking my brain to think of different combinations to try, but I can't fine any that work. Thanks man, and this definitely earns you a STICKY. :two thumbs up:
I couldn't help but notice that you have an NF7-S motherboard; have you tried using a different BIOS, and running everything at stock to see if Prime is still having issues with your machine?
I've had a few issues with different BIOSes behaving strangely for me with my board, in particular the various modified D10s (although you aren't using one of these, it's worth a shot). My BIOS-related problems have always been centered around 3DMark, and general 3D stability however, not Prime95.
Have you tried Priming with *everything* at stock, not just your RAM?
If your machine is passing memtest86, the various 3DMarks (2001 SE being the best to use), and multiple other CPU stress testers for appropriately long time periods, I'd be inclined to say that you're stable .
If you are having seemingly sourceless issues with Prime95, which some people do, a little ap that gives very good peak load temperatures called Toast is a pretty good alternative . Be warned however, that it'll get your chip hotter than pretty much anything else will. Here's a link if you're interested: http://users.pandora.be/bull_b2oc/toast.exe

awesome job, though the only thing i think u should add, is that the best stability test, once you have primed is fah. Of course for team 32, but i only truley deam my systems stable, when i can have after fx, premier, photoshop, 5 instance of firefox, some music, some chat, ggoing as well as 4 instances of fah and my system dosent crash. It can be on for weeks strait with no problems, that is what i call stable. Some of my amd machiens have passed prime for 24 hours, but did not last past 3 days when being used with fah running full bore. otherwise excelletn job!
^ Ditto. I've tested higher fsb's, and I have a cpu usage meter from MBM running. When Windows boots up, and everything is loading, I could watch it hit 100%, and then my computer would crash. It's an awesome test. And thanks for TOAST, I downloaded it, and I'm going to try it here pretty soon.
Great thread
Definitely sticky material.
I've only got one suggestion, and that's to use a newer version of 3D Mark for video testing. 3D Mark 01/01SE is very CPU intensive as well. Newer versions like 03 and 05 put a lot more hurt on the video card, and it's a lot easier to see artifacting.
If your card doesn't artifact or completely checker out in Return to Proxycon in 05, I'd be amazed if it had issues.Lian Li PC-60

Okay, we can chill on the "sticky" posts. It's currently being worked on; I'm talking with felinusz via PM and you will likely see it stuck before long.The OC Forums Way

Put your computer to work for our OC Forum Teams!
Try out our POST TEMPLATES, they save you time answering common questions!
I spend half my money on CPUs, GPUs, and Liquid Nitrogen. The other half I waste.
Thanks for the suggestions!
I've added some basic information on F@H and SETI, as well as using newer versions of 3DMark as video card stress testors, along with an appropriate link for each program.
3D Mark 01/01SE is very CPU intensive as well.
The other conveniently great thing about 3DMark01SE is the Nature test, which does a better job than anything else out there at getting your video card's GPU and RAM right up to peak load temperatures. Looping the 3DMark01SE Nature test is the Graphics Card equivelent to Toast.
though the only thing i think u should add, is that the best stability test, once you have primed is fah.....
.....Some of my amd machiens have passed prime for 24 hours, but did not last past 3 days when being used with fah running full bore.
Erroring after a 24 hour Prime test period is certainly not unknown, but pretty uncommon. It's also most often attributed to environmental changes over that time, I.E. a slight change in room temperature, or a voltage irregularity.
F@H is a very noble use of clock cycles as well, and everyone who is able to run it, really should be running it
Thanks dude that rocks. I had know Iidea that I was running prime wrong. but I guess if I passed at priority 1,I should have no prob at ten. If thats true maybe I can make it further. This Sticky should me manditory for every member
OK.. soon to be Sticky(I give it an hour)
10-13-04, 01:48 PM #15Okay, we can chill on the "sticky" posts. It's currently being worked on; I'm talking with felinusz via PM and you will likely see it stuck before long.
Anyyyway... excellent guide felinusz, it's answered a few questions about stability that newbies asked me that I didn't have an answer for, so it's proved its worth to me right there. Keep up the good work
Hey IMOG, any chance that we could link this to our sigs? This would be the perfect thread for it.

Mod notified to make this a sticky.
Nice work! Awesome.
Ok due to this thread(thanks) I ran prime x2 today while I was at school. I came back 3 hours later and I was still on test 1 for both(no crash). Has this ever happened to anyone. Is this normal? Is there something wrong with my ht?
I'm going to run them tonight when I go to bed and see what I get tommorow. very strange
What else do you have running? Are you folding or running some other program? Set Prime to 100 % usage, according to what was said in the guide. Use the code, unlock it, and then set priority to 10. Once you try that, get back to us if it didn't help.
nothing else running except asus probe set to poll every 60 sec. I typed the password and set my prority to 10. I ran 2 blend tests neither of which left test 1 in 3 hours so i closed them down when I got home. At least if it stopped or crashed I would know what to do. Any other ideas?

The court decided that the two could receive compensation if there had been no basis for assuming they could be guilty of the crime – which was not the case here, as the two had histories of being arrested for various crimes. By rights, the court said that no compensation was due, but decided to award them a quarter of the average daily salary of NIS 344 for Israeli workers due to the fact that they had been kept in prison for so long.

Let Your Power Shine
Make The Clock Reverse
Bring Back What Once Was Mine.
Italy sat motionless in the middle of the bloodied floor, with his friends circled around him, he felt so tired, that he wanted to join the eternal sleep the other's were in, but he knew it would never happen, that no matter what he did, no matter how many time he warned them, the outcome would be the same, he would always wind up alone.
Heal What Has Been Hurt
Change The Fates Design
Save What Has Been Lost
Bring Back What Once Was Mine.
Click, Italy heard the sound of the door unlocking, but as hard as he tried he could not bring himself to sand up to finally leave the nightmare that he was in. Finally getting up to his feet, Italy slowly walked to the door, and after what seemed like an eternity he fianlly reached the door knob, and with a twist opened the door, but not before looking back at his fallen comrades, and no matter how long he looked at them Italy knew that they were all gone.
What Once Was Mine.
Dragging his feet outside Italy hit the ground, tears stremming down his face, how could have this had happened, why did they have to come here. What was he going to say to the other countries, what was he going to say to the other the other countries, what was he going to do about himself, he couldn't move on, as if mother nature felt sorry for him it began raining, but in the roar of the rain came a faint whisper "Please, one more chance."

Specific Aims The goals of this project are to identify genetic variants that predispose to thrombotic microangiopathies and validate them via functional studies. The initial focus will be on mutations in the complement and clotting systems in patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and, especially, the pregnancy related disorder preeclampsia (PE). The strategic approach will center on next generation sequencing, specifically targeted deep resequencing and exomic sequencing of TMA patient cohorts. To tackle this project, we will take advantage of the considerable expertise in genomics at Washington University as well as senior investigators with much know-how in defining the functional implications of mutants in these two great serine protease pathways of human plasma that protect us from bleeding and infections.

Supercars,Kit Cars and the SL-C [S6 Ep. 3-1]
Today on GEARZ, Stacey jumps into a project that's bound to get everybody talking...a SUPERCAR that will run with the Ferraris and Lamborghinis that are out there. But, before he can show you HOW to build one, he has to show you how the whole supercar thing came into existence, and what it takes to build something that will run over 200mph...safely! If you've ever dreamed of owning a super car, and thought you couldn't afford it...... this is a show you can't afford to miss!
Converting An Automatic Transmission To A Standard Shift
Stacey upgrades a 1990 Ford Mustang with a little help from our friends at American Powertrain. Ripping out that old automatic transmission and putting in an standard shift 6-speed! http://staceydavid.com/black-book/american-powertrain
The Rat Roaster Final Assembly [S5 Ep.2]
One of the most exciting and time consuming parts of any project is the final assembly. This is where you bring it all together into a finished vehicle, and where attention to detail is so important. Today on GEARZ Stacey walks thru some of the things that need to be done on a project before you can actually call it "done". Fuel system, electrical, driveshaft, these are all things that are easy to overlook and have a way of rearing their head to bite you at the end of a project. But with a little pre-planning and the right products, Stacey shows you how you can easily breeze downhill and to the finish line on a project, instead of crashing and burning so close to the finish line! After that we take a look at the amazing 90 year history of Cornwell tools and why they are considered the best kept secret in the tool world. Only on GEARZ!
Drag'N'Wagon and Carrera Slot Cars [S6 Ep.2-1]
Today on GEARZ, Stacey brings back the Drag'N'Wagon to see if he can get the beast to breathe some fire! The first thing he puts on is an ATI Supercharger system to get some air sucking in. Then adds some hotter coils to help light the flame...and finally slaps on a bigger Exhaust system to help blow the air out. If you are wondering how to make a street beast out of an entry level truck, this show spells it out. Then it's on to the world of slot cars, as Stacey explores the past, present, and future of the little motorized miniatures that helped shape the gearhead world as we know it and introduces you to Carrera slot cars.

He is based at KPR in Lawrence, Kan. Report: Kansas And Missouri Get Middling Grades On Meeting Public Health Threats By Bryan Thompson • Dec 21, 2016 NIAID / www.flickr.com/photos/niaid/15138207362 A new report from the nonprofit Trust For America's Health says Kansas meets six of 10 measures related to public health threats while Missouri meets five. The "Ready or Not" report says Kansas and Nebraska are among 17 states, along with the District of Columbia, that meet six indicators. Missouri was among four states that meet only five. Download the Trust for America's Health Report: Ready or Not Kansas Students Developing An Appetite For Healthier School Meals By Bryan Thompson • Dec 14, 2016 Bryan Thompson / Heartland Health Monitor School lunch has long been a target of jokes. Those jokes turned to complaints from students and parents alike in 2012 when new congressionally mandated nutrition standards took effect. Momentum May Be Building For Kansas Medicaid Expansion But Colyer Defers Issue By Bryan Thompson • Oct 7, 2016 Bryan Thompson / Heartland Health Monitor A working group charged with finding "Kansas solutions" to the problems surrounding health care delivery in rural Kansas still hasn't settled on a direction. Near the end of Rural Health Working Group's meeting Thursday in Salina, Rep. Jim Kelly of Independence asked the other members to at least consider what he called "the 800-pound gorilla" in the room: Medicaid expansion. Kelly thinks expanding eligibility for Medicaid might help other communities avoid the hospital closure that occurred in Independence. Low Wheat Prices Could Hit Kansas Rural Economy Hard By Bryan Thompson • Oct 3, 2016 Bryan Thompson / for Harvest Public Media This year was a very good year for growing wheat, but that means it could be a very bad year for wheat farmers. There's a glut on the global wheat market and prices for winter wheat – which is grown all up and down the Great Plains, from Texas to North Dakota– wheat prices this year hit their lowest levels since 2003. Coupled with lower prices for corn, sorghum, and soybeans, many are concerned about the rural economy in the Wheat Belt. Kansas Infant Mortality Rate Drops By Bryan Thompson • Sep 30, 2016 Courtesy Jill Nelson Kansas recorded its lowest-ever infant mortality rate in 2015, when 230 infants died before their first birthday, according to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. That put the state's infant mortality rate at 5.9 for every 1,000 live births — a 28 percent improvement since 1996. Nationwide, the infant mortality rate in 2015 was six per 1,000, which is the target for the federal Healthy People 2020 program. As Obesity Rates Climb In Rural Kansas, So Do Cancer Concerns By Bryan Thompson • Sep 27, 2016 The recent news that Kansas is now the seventh-fattest state in the nation points toward a future of increased health problems, including cancer. In fact, as smoking rates decline and obesity rates rise, obesity is poised to overtake tobacco as the leading preventable cause of cancer. K-State Policy Forum Stirs Concealed Carry Debate By Bryan Thompson • Sep 16, 2016 Bryan Thompson / KHI News Service Kansas lawmakers — at least the majority of incumbents — think college campuses will be safer starting next July. That's when a law they approved will allow people to carry concealed handguns on Kansas Board of Regents campuses. But Joey Paz, a student at Kansas State University, said he'll feel less safe. "If this law would have been passed three years ago … I would have seriously considered not going to school in Kansas," he said. Kansas One Of Only Two States With Higher Obesity Rates In 2015 By Bryan Thompson • Sep 2, 2016 Trust For America's Health / Robert Wood Johnson Foundation One of every three adult Kansans was obese in 2015, ranking the state seventh in the country in an annual report. Kansas also was one of only two states where obesity rates increased from the previous year. Feds Say Tax Credits Should Ease Sting Of ACA Insurance Rate Hikes By Bryan Thompson • Aug 26, 2016 U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services A new analysis from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says headlines about anticipated premium increases on the Obamacare health insurance marketplace overlook an important point: Most Americans, including two-thirds of Kansans and three-quarters of Missourians, still will be able to find a plan for $75 a month or less. Share Of Rural Adults Gaining Health Coverage Under ACA Exceeds That In Urban Areas By Bryan Thompson • Jul 8, 2016 Bryan Thompson / Heartland Health Monitor Rural Americans are gaining health insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act at rates outpacing their urban counterparts, according to a recent report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Mark Andes is among those in rural Kansas who have benefited. Andes was living and working in McPherson last year when he began having some scary health symptoms. Report: Nearly 70 Kansas Water Systems Violate EPA Lead Rules By Bryan Thompson • Jun 29, 2016 Natural Resources Defense Council A new report from the Natural Resources Defense Council says more than 5,000 public water systems — including 68 in Kansas — are in violation of Environmental Protection Agency rules meant to protect people from lead in the water they drink. Longtime Kansas State Attorney Named Larned State Hospital Superintendent By Bryan Thompson • Jun 29, 2016 File photo The troubled Larned State Hospital has a new superintendent. Veteran state attorney Bill Rein has been named to head the facility, which provides inpatient treatment for people from the western two-thirds of Kansas suffering from severe or persistent mental illness. Rural Kansas Hospital Thrives By Keeping Patients Out Of The Hospital By Bryan Thompson • Jun 17, 2016 Bryan Thompson / Heartland Health Monitor Rural hospitals are struggling to stay open as the communities around them shrink and average patient counts drop as well. A study released earlier this year said one in three rural U.S. hospitals is at risk of closing. But one small hospital in southwest Kansas — Kearny County Hospital — is drawing patients from as far as 90 miles away and expanding its services. Benjamin Anderson, the hospital's administrator, last year analyzed statistics dating back to 2005 for the hospital in Lakin. New Study: States That Don't Expand Medicaid Are Hurting Themselves By Bryan Thompson • Jun 10, 2016 Ozarks Community Hospital A new study by Georgetown University's Health Policy Institute finds stark differences between states that have expanded Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Care Act and those — like Kansas and Missouri — that haven't. Health Officials Concerned About Lead Exposure In Saline County, Kansas By Bryan Thompson • Jun 8, 2016 Health officials say about 30 children in Saline County have elevated levels of lead in their blood.Jason Tiller, director of the Saline County Health Department, says more cases could be discovered as public awareness of the health threat grows. Families See Need For Better Communication In KanCare Program By Bryan Thompson • May 27, 2016 Bryan Thompson / Heartland Health Monitor State officials on Thursday wrapped up a series of public forums on the pending renewal of KanCare, the state's privatized Medicaid program. Federal approval for the five-year demonstration project expires at the end of 2017, and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment plans to apply for reauthorization by the end of this year. Forum organizers were looking for ideas about coordination of care, value-based payment systems and waiver integration. Survey Finds Kansans Have More Concerns About Health Care Costs By Bryan Thompson • May 26, 2016 Pat Hook NPR, Harvard University and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation partnered to survey Americans last year about their perceptions of health care. One In Five Kansas Children Live In 'Food Insecure' Households By Bryan Thompson • Apr 29, 2016 Feeding America A new study of food insecurity finds some familiar patterns in Kansas. But there are also a few surprises. Every year when the County Health Rankings are released, they show southeast Kansas and Wyandotte County as having persistent problems with lower average incomes and higher poverty levels. So it should come as no surprise that those same places have a high degree of food insecurity, which is defined as a lack of reliable access to adequate food. HHS: Medicaid Expansion Would Extend Mental Health Services To Thousands Of Kansans By Bryan Thompson • Mar 29, 2016 File photo A new report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates Medicaid expansion would help 34,000 uninsured Kansans with mental illness or substance use disorders gain access to behavioral health services. The figure represents the number of Kansans with behavioral disorders whose incomes would have qualified them for Medicaid — had the state expanded its privatized program known as KanCare — in 2014. That's the most recent year for which figures are available. Annual Rankings Show Health Disparities Remain Among Kansas Counties By Bryan Thompson • Mar 17, 2016 New county health rankings tell the same old story in Kansas. The southeastern corner of Kansas remains the state's least healthy region, according to the rankings released Wednesday by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. However, the Kansas county at the bottom of the list — Wyandotte — is next door to Johnson County, the state's top performer. Poll: Health Reform, Costs Of Care Concern Kansans By Bryan Thompson • Feb 29, 2016 NPR/Robert Wood Johnson Foundation/Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health A new poll from NPR, Harvard University and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation explores Americans' experiences with the health care system in the two years since the Affordable Care Act was fully implemented. Kansas was one of seven states singled out for closer scrutiny. And while much of what Sunflower State residents said followed national trends, there were some notable exceptions. Despite Obamacare, Insurance Disparities Persist In Kansas By Bryan Thompson • Feb 16, 2016 Bryan Thompson / Heartland Health Monitor A recent national report credits the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, for helping to reduce racial and ethnic inequalities in health insurance coverage. But Kansas has not made as much progress as other states. Marketplace Enrollment Climbs In Kansas, Missouri By Bryan Thompson • Feb 5, 2016 The enrollment period for the federal health insurance marketplace closed Monday night, with higher enrollment than last year in Kansas and Missouri. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said 101,555 Kansans enrolled before the deadline. That's about 5,000 more than the 96,197 Kansans who enrolled before last year's deadline. HHS provided numbers for several population centers: Kansas Community Hit Hard By Alzheimer's Finds Help In Music By Bryan Thompson • Jan 26, 2016 Marcy Oehmke / Linn High School An estimated 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease. That number is projected to nearly triple by 2050 as the U.S. population trends older. Currently, there is no cure for the disease and no treatments shown to slow its progress.

Amid Financial Troubles, Company Closes Two Kansas Ethanol Plants By Bryan Thompson • Dec 9, 2015 Bryan Thompson / Heartland Health Monitor Financial problems at one of the world's leading biofuels companies are causing ripples in the Kansas economy.

"It does create jobs," Brownback said at the time. "It creates opportunities, and right now we are seeing a rural renaissance in Kansas." New Medical Billing System: So Far, So Good By Bryan Thompson • Nov 13, 2015 Concerns among Kansas health care providers of a billing system "apocalypse" appear to have been unfounded. Providers are saying "so far, so good" about a twice-delayed new system that went into effect Oct. 1. The new billing system is called ICD-10. It's the 10th version of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD), and it replaced a system that had been in use since 1979. Kansas Kids Count Shows Improvements But Persistent Problems By Bryan Thompson • Oct 21, 2015 Kansas Action for Children An annual report on child well-being in Kansas shows some positive trends, but they're overshadowed by persistent problems. Among the improvements cited in the 2015 Kansas Kids Count report: There are fewer uninsured children in Kansas. Cargill Executive Tells K-State Crowd Climate Change Threatens Food Production By Bryan Thompson • Oct 13, 2015 Bryan Thompson / Heartland Health Monitor Climate change is real and must be addressed head-on to prevent future food shortages. That's the message Cargill Executive Director Greg Page delivered Monday night to an audience at Kansas State University in Manhattan. Black Infant Mortality Rate In Kansas Shows Improvement By Bryan Thompson • Oct 9, 2015 A new statistical summary by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment shows progress in reducing a long-standing health disparity between black and white Kansans: the death rate for babies in their first year of life.

Within a couple of days, she was hospitalized with abdominal cramping and pain. Pages1 2 3 4 … next › last »

Texas Instruments is near its highest levels in more than a decade, and one trader is betting on a floor beneath the chip maker's stock.
optionMONSTER's tracking systems detected the sale of 3,000 January 31 puts for $0.99. This is a new position, as there was no open interest in the strike before the session began.
This put seller is looking for TXN to stay above $31 through expiration early next year. If the stock falls below that strike price, the trader would be on the hook to buy shares at that level. (See our Education section)
TXN finished yesterday unchanged at $37.04 after peaking at $37.25 on Friday--its highest price since mid-2007 and, before that, July 2001. The stock bounced off support at the $34 level in mid-April, near its 50-day moving average, and has been running higher since.
