Prime95 giving an error on only one core

[edouble]

Specs:

E4300 @ 3.24ghz
2 GB PC-5300 RAM @ 4-4-4-12, ~700mhz (stock is 5-5-5-15)
Nvidia 8800GTS
Corsair HX520
Gigabyte P965-DS3

Vcore is set at 1.412, temps are fine (~40C idle, ~65 load), vDimm is at +0.2, MCH is at +0.1, and FSB is at +0.1.

I can run dual instances of Prime95 for ~9 hours before I get an error on only one of the cores. Is this simply a case of needing to either pull back the FSB or up the Vcore?

Thanks

well i would say try to higher the vcore one bit, n see if it helps, and make sure it aint stressin the temps, anyway 3.2 is pretty good =)

Also try swapping ram positions. It could be a bad ram chip. If so it will follow the chip.

Run Memtest86+ to check your RAM, a latency tightening and overclock of the RAM might be a bit too much.

If Memtest86+ shows no errors, you can pin any errors on the CPU or motherboard.

It ended up needing just a little more vcore juice, which unfortunately led to a high idle to load delta, which can be found in an additional thread :lol:
