  1. Compiles, boots okay, no crashes so far. I'll leave it spinning for this workday.

  2. Worked fine since morning on i7, that is 8+ hrs. Couple of suspend/resume cycles went ok.
    Will try on Ryzen and Phenom soon.

    1. Running on i7, Ryzen and Phenom for 3 days without any visible issues.
      Currently I have a different video card than previously (radeon -> nvidia) and haven't had a chance to run D3, so at the moment I can not verify that all is fine w/ D3, but there are no freezes on Phenom + csgo, it should be ok.

      Btw, my kid says VRQ has the best performance in games, so patiently waited for freeze on Phenom to be fixed.

      Alfred, thanks for Your efforts from both of us :)

      Br, Eduardo

      Thanks for the feedback. As a Sync-up and minor bug fix release, it should has less stable issue.
      If all goes well, I'd like to push new feature in this weekend. :)
