Found the workunit had run against another Q6600 at standard clocks (2.4) vs mine @ 3.4
At least on einstein credit is pretty stable, with seti I never get granted my claimed credit.
Q6600 vs Q6600 with some overclocking.

Prime95's torture test is a very good way of testing stability. I use a 24-hour run (one instance per core) to test whether the overclocking is stable enough to run the climate projects.
I get 1.8kcredit/day with the SAP (HadAM3) model, or 3kcredit/day with the CPDN/HadSM3 (slab) model, which runs particularly well on Linux and the new Intel architecture. Pity that I'm not keen on slab and hence only run SAP on it
What is your setup like? I haven't got the Q6600 stable over 3GHz yet (Can boot a lot higher, but WUs / torture test always errors out). Mine is just aircooling (Ninja B+ with a high flow 120cm fan strapped onto it). Doesn't help that the box only has Linux, and I haven't figured out how to get temperatures yet, lm_sensors doesn't seem to give me any numbers.

I used to use prime but now i just go with if it runs boinc o.k. doesn't error out of w/u and i can run games while crunching then i am a happy camper. lol.
Just been playing with it all morning and i think the bios is getting fed up with me changing settings all the time. lol.
Currently 8 x 370 2959 @ 1.325V set in bios but Vdrop takes down too 1.24. Or at least thats what asus probe is wanting to tell me.
Temp wise cpu 49 m/b 32 under load, ambient temp 27.
Can't get it stable now back at 3.4
Was having a play cause i am out for the weekend and wanted to leave it crunching and not cooking.
That will teach me........
