Hmm. My system *is* overclocked (I'm one of those "enthusiast" guys).
I'm running an E6600 that runs 2.4GHz stock at 3GHz with a good
aftermarket cooler (temps never go above 48C at full load). The CPU
is overclocked and *undervoltaged* (1.29V from its 1.35V stock). The
RAM is both underclocked (to get an FSB:DRAM ratio of 1:1) and
undervoltaged. The system has been confirmed stable though; 8 hours
Prime95 stress test with no errors, which is much more of a stress
test than any real application can pull off. It also passes memtest.
I used to overclock some too until I started running folding. Folding
just doesn't like overclocking. I'm not sure what prime95 does but it
could still be a problem even though it passes. Just a thought.
I was running folding too (up to the point where it affected the
electricity bill :P) It ran with no errors. For the record, Prime puts
more stress then folding; it really brings the system (CPU, northbridge
and RAM, the GPU isn't affected) to its knees.
