Comment: Well, been OCing my p4 3.2, passed stability test at 215x16 @ 1.550V, so i changed fsb to 220. TSC ran for 2 hours before system rebooted, so i changed voltage to 1.565V and am trying again. Am i goin about this process right? Wish it wasn't so tedious (stress test for 8 hours pretty much means I can only make 1, maybe 2 adjustments a day).

Reply: (edit)"Am i goin about this process right?" It depends...what's TSC? Most people seem to like Prime95 to stress test the system...& TOAST to test the CPU. I would run Toast for 20 min to max out the temp...then Prime95 for one complete series. If it passes both, push it a little farther & run em again. Once you've reached what you consider to be your max setting, run Prime95 for several hours... Here's a bunch of test software... http://www.benchmarkhq.ru/english.html?/be_cpu.html
