zeimbo Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 cpuburn is a good program as well, more intensive than prime or occt from what ive read. apparently, a lot of big companies use it for the 4-6 week server burn in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelballzz Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 Generally I run OCCT before doing Prime since usually passing it will mean Prime has aggod chacne to run. I don't run the torture test on it though, just the 'test' test...If it lasts 30 minutes then i go on to Prime that night. well thats what i do occt is really a hard test to pass...and its only 1/2 hour....wich is great.....u can test it while u have a snack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixtapalapaquetl Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 Too bad there's no OCCT for dual core solution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozotheclown Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 uhm, I take the advice on my PSU very seriously and I will try my system with a more powerfull psu for sure but is it not weird that when OCCT is running and it states 100% cpu usage taskmanager states 0@ cpu usage? at most a couple of % total cpu usage but if you brake it down OCCT itself is 0%! When I set the affinity to core 0 or 1 the same thing happens. How can a cpu test which claims to be 100% load but in reality is 0% and fails after 4-6 minutes be taken seriously?

Burky Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 Maybe it's because it's not getting 100% load that it fails so quickly... Mine gets 100% load (or close to) and mine passes the occt test (but not prime 95 grr). Maybe you're running too many applications as well as occt...

syar2003 Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 It needs +90% load to succeed. It may also drop out if it's first stage "idle monitoring" fails . And if you look in the exe dll files you see OCCT also use mersienne prime iterations for it's testing . It's just that they have made it just to run the most intensive ones concurrently , therefore it's more effective for our use as it reveals bad OC's earlier than prime95 does. Note that the 30mins test is mainly CPU test . Use of OCCT torture is the one that equals Prime95 blend test . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeimbo Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 both i believe. like i said, a lot of big companys use it to burn in their servers for 4-6 weeks before they go up for 24/7 use. try it out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted420a Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I find that at least on my pc. I can pass Super Pi and OCCT fairly easily, but Prime is the test I normally have a problem passing. I get tired of passing OCCT, and then run prime only for it to fail 6 hours in. OCCT might be a good short term stability tester, but for true stability, let it pass at least 12 hours of prime, IMO. I'm like the others though... I test settings with OCCT, then if it passes, next step is Prime95. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
