ccokeman Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 make sure you're running prime95 on smallFFT's for the maximum CPU stress. Blend and Large don't push it as hard. You want to run the blend test. It stress the CPU asnd memory subsystems. if you run just small fft you are only running the 8k test. While this will test the CPU to some degree it will not be prime stable since the memory subsystem and any of the other small fft tests are not run. I can pass the small fft test just fine and fail when running the blend test. The 10k, 14k and 256k tests run the CPU hotter than the CPU only small fft test. Facts man .....get them right before you speak. To the op Thats a really nice start. Make sure you run the blend test through at least 24hours to hit all of the tests.

Bizzlenitch Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Thought I mentioned it in this thread, but it was another--I second Waco and recommend using Intel Burn Test as one of your stress testing programs. I'd recommend you run Prime, and if you pass for 12-24 hours, run IBT for 15 passes or so. If you can pass all that... well, you're pretty damn stable.

Blend never gives me highest temps, but I'll keep that in mind (I would run both anyway, but start with small FFTs ) ivy heres those bios shotss? lol (thought I posted them up already, sorry) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknownuser200 Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 makes me feel a tad bit better with my voltages lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivy... tisk tisk. You never want to leave the fsb and pll voltages at auto. Gigabytes bios overvolts the crap outta those settings especially at those high fsb speeds. I wouldn't be surprised if it was at 1.8v pll and over 1.4v fsb. If you didn't know those are the 2 settings that will indefinetely kill a cpu.

shiver_8 Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 And I'm also curious why your ICH voltage is so high? It should only be touched if you have your pci-e frequency over 110 ish... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
