I think that there's one fundamental place where we disagree and it occurs early in the process. You make the assumption that running Prime95/BurnK7 is sufficient to verify that a chip is operating correctly when run out of specification. I question this. The documentation for BurnK7 has a disclaimer stating that it alone is not sufficient. How can we verify your fundamental assumption?
