Just asking for a bit of clarification really. Running a FX8350 on an ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0. Using the Mobos Basic OC/Power settings I had it running on Performance mode which auto clocked it to 4.3 and no issues for last few months. Just last night I ran PRIME95 (first time) and after about 15 mins cores 6,7 and 8 failed. I went back and set BIOS options to default. Changed all modifiers to AUTO and ran again overnight for about 5-6 hours at stock settings and all cores were fine.
Just wondering would this mean its fairly safe to assume the Auto overclock was just unstable and I have no underlying hardware instabilities?
In case in matters, rest of build is
GPU: Sapphire HD6950
RAM: 2x4gb Crucial Ballistix @1600
PSU: 750w Jeantech
Cooler: Corsair H55
