Well I figure we can provide a good service to the community here and if it gets big enough we can break it out into subsections.
I think people can get a good general idea (no guarantee) of what to expect with a new CPU.
I think MAX stable on air would be best.
Lets see.
CPUZ valid link, shots of a minimum 5 hours prime, OCCT or other testing software. Only on air, if you have other Max OC's note them but I think Joe six pack would like an idea of what to expect.

If it's 24hr stable, then eliminate super pi from the options.
I suggest a cpu-z validation w/ a minimum 5 hours prime. ;)

That better :)

Yep OCCT is a cake walk to pass......it will not fail on a unstable NB or uncore clock ;)
Prime blend will pick it up however.
Drop the lenght of the prime run to 2-3h and I'm sure there will be a lot more results posted ;)

I dont think anyone would like to run 5 hrs of prime on their daily machines.....drop it down to something more realistic. I think 2 hrs of prime ought to do it.

Make it 3, then shut up and post screen shots!! :D

Absolutely needs to be 3 hours min, prime fails on a certain test if NB is not stable at 3 hour mark thus why I ran a min of 3 hours for every final prime stable shot for the review.

Heres mine...needs more work though. Issue is the temps going to 57 under load after 3 hours.

Not validated because as I understand it, I have higher CPUz scores?
No point in "testing stability" on an overclocked rig. Stable for me is, does it pass XXX benchmark :)
No reason to OC my 24/7 rig, it does everything I need it to, almost NEVER leaving 900 MHz. (sometimes 2 cores will jump to 1800 MHz If I am watching an HD video while playing Civ4 IM'ing and web browsing. SD video stays all 4 at 900 Mhz) NB is oced a little, and mem is tweaked a bit, for better snappiness. (Ok, PC is SLIGHTLY OCed if it were to go to 100% on the cores, which it doesn't)

so r u using CnQ or is it more of phenom tweaker...with cnq my cpu moves around quite a bit, which i really dont like.
Archer, why haven't you posted your settings?
Our home AIO is a little disjointed at the moment with different parts lying across it (not final build parts). I haven't had time to assemble it back up and settle it in its wall cavity. Since I use work supplied systems for any heavy needs and laptops for general use (with the other half using her netbooks mostly) I haven't really been pushed to fix it back.
I've already tested the daily settings though so will post them once I get access to the drive.

Well TBH the thread got such a bad reception that I was a little disheartened. I will put up data tonight.

CnQ
I have it slightly OCed now, too 900 MHZ 24/7, If I am playing civ4 in windowed mode on one monitor have IM and browsers open. and SD video on the second monitor, it stays at 900 almost flat.
If I load up a HD video (while doing all of the above) two cores jump to 1800 MHZ.
CnQ works pretty well for me :)
When I have time, I am helping writers out over at OCF as well as TRYING to get my blogging done for here, so far it has not worked well, plus trying to get time to play with my i7 rig, all while not skipping a beat posting on my various tech forums, I would like to experiment with high CPUNB clocks and low CPU clocks to see what kind of effect it has. Some say it is not possible, but I am running 2200 now. Need to get a new board though as this one has no CPUNB voltage control. as such limited to about 2300. Will see if things pan out in the next couple of weeks, might be ditching this setup for a L# less quad. Based on Archers review of the 620, I am getting a 630 from icebob for a nice deal. Little nervous though. As TBH, this is (920x4) probably the best rig I have ever used. Stability, power, low energy usage (not an LE chip by any means but for what it is is, it is a just a great setup). Its a kick ass setup and I prefer it to my i7 920 watercooled setup any day of theweek for 24/7 usage (for benching i Like the i7, and the desktop snappiness is there too, but the power usage is just astronomical, I assume, since it heats my room better than my 920x4 setup, a stereo receiver and 2 22" LCDs) lol
And I do not even have a good GPU on the i7 yet lol (running a low profile 2400XT Dell pull)
Well TBH the thread got such a bad reception that I was a little disheartened. I will put up data tonight.
You're pretty bad at keeping your word, aren't you? :p
