Thanks for the response Underclocker. There are conflicting reports on which to use, the knack against blend is that is sometimes pre-allocates too much memory and writes to the pagefile. The CPU wouldn't be under full load during disk access and the test would be skewed. The article didn't specify what version of P95 was running.

Some say Small, some large, custom....

I take it from these mixed reviews that any test would prove stability given the right amount of time. If there is any semblance to the blend test, I'll probably run a custom test and just manually allocate like 90% of my memory to be used.

*UPDATE*
10hrs of P95, No error. Temps spiked to 57°c but kept to 53°c throughout. Do you think temps are too high for a "moderate" overclock?
