AMD64 3500 with stock hsf. figured I kill two birds with one stone and try some minor ocing then test with prime to heat the core up and swap the stock HSF for a Zalman. I have a gig of ram, how much should a I dedicate to prime to get a decent run and heat up my core enough to cleanly remove the HS? I've heard half or more on blend is pretty effective, but I would like some advice. thanks for any replies.

I would have it run on idle cycles, that way you can use your computer if you need to, and if not you can just have it use everything avaliable.

running a 24 hour blend cycle on it now.

but i left vcore and ram voltages on auto

should i bother trying to push these settings? suggestions welcome.
