well i ran prime95 for like hours since i went school and on thread 2,i left it running at 7:54 and then it shows i got a hardware failure at 9:58 "FATAL ERROR:ROUNDING WAS 0.5,expected less than 0.4"
What does this all mean??
thread 1 is still going


that sounds like vcore needs to be adjusted.

OR

If your BIOS has options for CPU vtl, NSB vtl (might also be listed as voltage reference), or FBS termination . . . you might want to focus on those. They come into massive play when everything is fairly stable already with mild-high OCs, but needs to be tightened down a bit more. They're more for getting an OC stable, moreso than achieving an OC.

well i've increased my voltage of my ram to 2.1V,and i have ran memtest and i got no errors at all.
This what my BIOS look like so far,i've changed the MCH overvoltage to 0.2v when the guide i looked at putted 0.1v but i dunno and i did set the mch at 0.1v i just changed it:
DDR2 OverVoltage Control__ [+0.3V]
FSB OverVoltage Control___ [+0.1V]
(G)MCH OverVoltage Control [+0.2V]
CPU Voltage Control_______ [+1.35v]
CPU voltage is 1.35v,do i need to go even higher??

Edit: I left prime95 for like 3hours now after the voltage increase on the MCH and i have not had any errors yet.
