okay, so i'm starting to understand it a bit more now. thank you
currently i am at 1.212v for vcore (this is on auto, with default bios)
just for shits when i booted today, i plugged my target in the bios. i was so close yesterday, and seemed stable.
right now running 3.66 cpu, 1.59 BCLK, 1590 ram, all volts still on auto vcore at 1.212 - 1.224. (this jumps back and forth)
p95 has been running for 45 mins or so, all seems well.
So what i need to do now is set my vcore lower than 1.212 and run p95, until i get as low as possible?

so i still can't run memtest86+
i get this code: 0x99100 0x8f000 - to small lower memory
from what i see, it means there is not enough space in my bios to run it?

The small change in voltage is known as vdroop. I personally have it disabled because at high overclocks it could (lord knows, I think) cause instability. Google it for more info as even I'm noob-ish on the subject.
Exactly. This will ensure minimum heat for your chip at that speed. There's too many benefits of lower heat that I don't have to type out

There shouldn't be any room in your BIOS. From what I gather, that seems to be an IRQ conflict, at that specific memory address. As if it's 'crashing' because it's attempting to write to memory already in use.... very strange, if that's the case :errf:

so i got my vcore down to 1.1625, p95 has been running for an hour so far so good. this is as low as i will be able to go as long as i prove stable. I tried 1.15 but my pc shutdown after a minute of p95.
what other program should i use to test full stability of my ram?
when running burn test what should i be watching for, just increase in heat?
when using p95, i set it to custom and set the memory to 90% of whats available, but while running i still have over half of my memory available.

ran into a hardware faliure at 1.1625, 90 minutes in
going back up a notch and testing again

The only reason I would test prime95 for hours is if I know I'm going to be decoding Blu-Rays 24/7, which is really the only real-world application (without having some thousands of dollar software) that'll mimic that kind of load. Real-world load is much, much lower.
But, if you have the time, knowing you're gold is nice, so good on you chef.

I guess anyone who does distributed computing, hash-cracking, rendering, running linux or other run-of-the-mill shit will be surprised to hear they aren't doing "real world" things there...
and i'm definitely not a p95 proponent, but computers are meant to do an outrageous amount of different shit so it's hardly fair to marginalize everything that doesn't fall under the average consumer's definition of hardcore use which is office, games, web browsing and media

IBT, OCCT and Prime95 all do things a little different, some better / some worse.
I find IBT generates the most heat so it is best at determining if you have the right cooling for your worst (highest use) scenario.
Prime95 and OCCT (more so Prime95) is better at checking if your comp is calculating shit right (stability).
Everything is about comfort and patience... if what you do is critical, then test the hell out of your OC... if you're just going to have to reboot and reload your game... well, you can test less :)
