running in a new cpu

[Todd0]

Should i run my new CPU in before i overclock it, i was thinking maybe if i just run the prime 95 torture test for a few hours, or do i not have to wait, coz im kinda impatient. But if anyone recomends i should wait, i will

you really should wait. I have no idea how many 'hours' the burn in period is, but you should cool your jets and run some torture tests... I'd give it a good week if it were my million dollar processor...

you need to break in a processor the same as a new engine in a car....so just let it run for a week or too

200 hours which would be 8 days 24/7
