I have 2 main crunching systems:
AMD Opty 165 1.8GHz @ 2.7GHz Intel E8400 3GHz @ 4.1GHz The AMD system will never error; I can overclock to the point of unstability The Intel system will error if I go above 4.1GHz...even though I am stable in everything @ 4.45GHz I don't want to waste a 300MHz overclock because 1 app doesn't like it. Is it only certain WUs? I have tried HCC 5.20 and Rice 6.13 (so far) to no avail. |

Run memtest on that Intel machine. 4100mhz isn't that high on a E8400 If still problems, stop over at XtremeSystems and the guys will help you out. Some very sharp guys there when it comes to clock issues. Best of Luck.  |

"I don't want to waste a 300MHz overclock"
If you don't solve the issue why not just run 2 o/c profiles? A WCG friendly one and your maxxed out one? Just a thought. Hi Dave  |

Stable according to what?
not restarting? prime95? Maybe try bumping up a couple of voltages to see if that helps. I know I had to bump up some unexpected areas to achieve stability. (add some more volts to pci express is what I needed for stable computing ironically enough.) ~BoB |
