road-runner Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I tried this test last night after running an hour long stability test. I turned it on and walked off to the other room, when I came back in there my i7 rig had restarted. I guess my 1200w Silverstone is no good? Anyone else tried the test?

damian Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I wouldn't go as far as saying its no good. Personally I never liked software testing for power supplies but keep in mind OCCT PSU tester puts your CPU and video card to work Taken from Ocbase.com Power Supply * Dedicated to power supplies - it'll launch GPU:3D and CPU:LINPACK at the same time to load your power supply. BEWARE, THIS TEST IS REALLY DEMANDING ! * WARNING, DO NOT USE THIS TEST WITH NO-NAME POWER SUPPLY, AS A FEW DEATHS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPORTED ! * This tests demands 30 to 40% more power than crysis on a quad-core system with an SLI graphic system installed...

Well I guess my overclock was not completely stable and the overclock on the video cards probably wasn't either as I was running benches with it prior to that. I did not know it used the video cards for a power supply test. I ran linpack with no problems though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Frankenstein Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Just tried the Linpack part of the test and all 4 cores hit 90c+ within a few seconds and it turns off the test lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulktreg Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 How can it be a power supply test? Hold your hand up if you have a rig that will fully load a 1200W power supply. Not many hands I bet. Cheers Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

road-runner Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I have not looked at the settings in this new OCCT yet, if it is like the older version you can change the temps it cuts off at... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
