Modern CPU requires more cooling which makes more noise. Silencing needs expensive case. So we end up to something like 400E for total cost. Ok, that is not so bad, but if it does not help, it is bad. That's why I'm asking. I don't want to spend money and time fixing something which is not broken. > Or bad compiler, bad package source, bad dependencies.

Pre-compiled seems bit slower, but don't really know since those were with dxr3, and on every step dxr3 driver & plugin version changed also. So results are not comparable.. I'll try memtest and cpuburn. I've tried memtest few month ago, and no problems found. -- M. Tavasti / tavasti@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx / +358-40-5078254
