Here is why I like prime95 so much. I'm 100% stable at 2506MHz.. I kicked it up
to 2550MHz and let it run overnight with warmup, I wanted to see if it would
crash at all. Prime95 errored after about 1 minute. To my surprise warmup was
still running fine all night (~8 hours). I closed it and ran prime95 again, got
an error after about a minute. Clocked back down to 2506MHz now. Is warmup
suppose to crash or do something if your system is unstable? It didn't get as
hot as prime95 or burnk7 did and didn't crash my box when I knew my cpu was
unstable at 2550. If you'd like me to run anything else let me know and I'll run
it overnight, too.
