I did. It helped with vdroop but amazingly didn't allow for lower Vcores. I'm guessing I wasn't getting too much vdroop to begin with.

yea im debating whether or not to do it. anyways i'm getting 13650 3dmark06 score. havent overclocked video card yet.

Update: 445 fsb 1.33725 vcore 1.49 north bridge voltage 1:1. 4005 mhz so far stable in orthos.

I don't get much vdroop at all on my P5E3, the load line calibration setting in the bios is quite effective, however I do get approximately 0.03v vdrop

nice, good luck with it. How long has Orthos been running??

2 hours 10 minutes now no errors thus far. blend test 8 priority. how long should i let it run for?

I like to run for 8-9 hours to be 100% sure, I've had them fail at the 8.5 hour mark before.

but does it really matter at that point anymore? It's not like you are going to be playing a very intensive game for 9 hours without taking a break. (at least I hope you aren't )

hmm interesting. should i even bother with the ffts stress cpu test in orthos if im doing blend test for 8 hours? btw its been 4 hours and still no errors

 

[A True Folder]

I always run the blend test.
