On its own one hour of prime is nowhere near enough. But passing 1-2 hours of IBT or linx which is much more stressful for the cpu, usually means you won't fail in prime 95 cpu stress test (not always but a lot of the time, you should do some blend tests as well to stress the system as a whole too). Seeing that you left vcore on auto though it's less likely to become unstable since auto gives the cpu more voltage than it really needs for that frequency.

Its fine, if it is going to crash it usally will crash very quickly. But take the temps you get with prime95 to really mean nothing, almost in no cases will your cpu be totally maxed out for a long period of time

OK so I decided to take my 2700k to 4.5ghz for the first time. I'm not a terribly experienced OC'er and this is the first time that I've done it with an Intel CPU. So my question is this: Given SB's overclocking friendliness and that 4.5ghz is commonly achieved, would you feel comfortable with only running an hour of Prime 95 after already running Intel Burn Test with no errors? I've seen recommendations for running Prime 95 from everything from 30mins to 24hrs. What do you guys think?

What volts are you putting through it?

Ah ok - I was gonna see if I could take my 2500k to 4.5Ghz, but I think that's too much voltage for my cooler:P

Anyways, enjoy your CPU:D

An hour should be plenty.

an hour should be fine. it only matters if it crashes while your doing something, if it does then scale the overclock back a bit.

They are NOT going to support DX 10 cards on windows 8, there is no reason why someone with a 4870 shouldnt get windows 8 but AMD will only support those products on windows 7.

Yes it will run windows 8 but no driver updates whatsoever.

[QUOTE="ronvalencia"]And then, NVIDIA turns around and gimps GTX 680's double precision floating point compute for one of Windows 8's feature points. Gambler_3
