bah! i'm obviously just not xtreme enough this is on air and crappy air cooling at that: stock HSF lots of the people over at XS are insane, and use LN2 or dry ice etc, which I, as a 16yr old student, am just not capable of accessing
well if you can run a complete 32M run of super Pi, its generally considered to be stable. although, some people would argue that 32M alone isn't enough to determine stability, and some might say otherwise. If i can run 3dmark05 looped about 5 times, i'd say a system is perfectly stable. but thats just me
