What is being asked about the stability of the system? The concern is whether it can handle stress testing and maintain performance without freezing or crashing, especially on a CPU with a locked multiplier like the 6500.
I unintentionally opened a new thread instead of addressing the Intel OC Club discussion. This is my main computer, which runs smoothly at 4.6 GHz. However, the ASRock BIOS update meant to resolve Spectre issues caused instability. I had to go back to the older version. I posted about it but haven’t received any replies yet.
