If you suspect it has been damaged, you should try to get a replacement. Considering what has been happening with them, I would suspect damage if there were stability issues in Prime95.

Which is making me wonder.
Anyway, I was trying to understand if there’s an official test, software or process to determine if damage has occurred.
It seems there’s not.
I was reading somewhere that Intel will publish a tool to verify that.
