Hello community,

So I'm attempting to overclock today and I have just a few questions.

Currently I have my cpu set to 4.5 and while running prime 95, and after about 25 minutes I noticed worker 5 stopped. My question is: is there a point with prime95 where workers are bound to stop no matter what? Or is it more of how do I get my OC to the point where I know they won't stop at all? (e.g. fully stable) When is a good point to stop and say "hey this should be fine".

I realize this may be subjective, but I'm just curious.

Also my cpu temp has been right around 54c, so I'm not really noticing any cooling issues at all.

Here are my current settings:

Cpu frequency.....225
Cpu multiplier......20
cpu voltage..........1.4500

I'm going to increase the voltage and try stabilize it, but I'm just curious about the workers.
