I've heard, I don't know if it's true, that it's good to prime your thermal paste by running Prime95 for some hours and then lettings it cool down and turning off your machine, then doing it again. I just applied a new thing of paste so I wanna prime it as fast as possible before I start getting into heavier OCs. I'm only at 2.8 GHz right now on my Q6600, but for some reason my default voltage was set super high to 1.384, would it be bad to actually turn down the voltage to lower my temps if it doesn't cause instability?
Also how long do you guys usually run Prime95 to test temps and stability. It's been going for about 2 and a half hours for me with no errors or comp resets. My temps are slowly getting higher as time goes.
