boggy Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 What torture test option do u use to run prime95? I just want to validate my OC as stable and then I will try to go higher. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thraxz Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Custom with 750mb per core. or... since you've two gigs for your single core, 1600 dedicated to the core. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boggy Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 OK thanks, will try both. Also when I try to g higher than 2700 I think i will do it the slow way and use prime only, I noticed that i can finish occt with no problem @ clocks WAY higher than i can prime. Anything wrong with this approach? Also I would need asimilar stress test for the GPU, I dont know if 3dMarking is enough. Anyway I will poston the vid section of the forum. Thanks for your help.

Okay about Prime95 and OCCT, OCCT is more of a temperature and stress test not made for stability testing, it just verifys that it will work long enough to run Prime...Prime95 will test the overall stability of the overclock and after 8hrs will verify that the overclock is indeed stable or not, the longer it goes without error the more stable the overclock is... About the GPU some people run 3dMark some use newer games...I like both I will normally run 3dMark 06 Especially Deep Freeze and see what happens....no artifacts I move onto games and if I can game for about an hour or more with no issues I assume I am good....

That's what I would do but when running say 5-6 loops of 3dMark is a pain eyeballing the screen all the time to detect artifacts. Also I am never confident in my ability to spot artifacts, sometimes there are rendering glitches that i think are normal. Anyway the best core stressor for the GPU alone is the AtiTool 3d view imho. That freeze my comp with clocks I can easily use to game and 3dMarking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
