Hello,
Two Questions (+ bonus)- (System Spec and OC info below)
1. If my Prime95 Small Test runs fine ( 1hr w/ 60c on core 68c on socket) no fail, but the Blend test usually fails; is that my RAM?
1.5 The Blend test usually fails within 2-3 minutes, but sometimes (seems like after system is warmed up) it is stable for over 20 minutes w/ 51c core and 60c socket and then fails. What does that mean? Is my RAM failing the blend test? Is warming my system up for 10-15 minutes really improving the stability of my ram/blend test?
2. Despite this failure in Prime95, the OC runs very well on BF4, Witcher, The Division, War Thunder, and Fallout 4 for hours without error. Do I really need to be stable in Prime95 Blend test? I've read conflicting remarks on the value of the blend test vs the small test...
Bonus question: Will this system bottleneck an upgraded GPU?
Context / Details-
System:
Windows 10 Pro
Asus Sabertooth 990fx R2.0
550W PSU XFX PRO
FX8350 & Evo Hyper 212
16gig (4x4) Patriot 1333 (considering 16g [2x8] 1600)*
GTX 660 (Waiting ever so patiently for the GTX 1070 / polaris price war)*
OC:
Used JayzTwoCents, @JayzTwoCents YouTube VideoOC for Beginners
Followed exactly with one exception: Multiplier is 20.5.
I found that I could get 4.54ghz from 1.38v (up to 1.4v with CPU load line set to Ultra High) with Bus Speed of 221 and Multiplier of 20.5, without going over 60c on Prime95 small test.
RAM Details:

Brand: Patriot
Part #: PSD34G13332
Timing=
Frequency: JEDEC 1,2,3,4 = 457MHz, 533MHz, 609MHz, 666MHz,
CAS#Latency: JEDEC 1,2,3,4 = 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0
RAS# to CAS# and RAS# Precharge = 6,7,8,9
tRAS: 17, 20, 22, 24
tRC: 23, 27, 30, 33
Voltage: 1.5v (Set to auto in Bios)
Memory=

NB Frequency: 2438-2439
DRAM Freq: 739.1MHz

RAM: 3:10
CL, tRCD, tRP= 9
tRAS= 24 clocks
tRC= 33 clocks
