cmac Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 u can use anything that stresses ur cpu prime95 and folding are the most popular. but anything that uses 100 of cpu will work. i see your new to occ welcome. and i would suggest folding works great to test oc but also does good (medial research) check out the link and join the team .

Nemo Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 It's kinda fun being addicted to something that does good and potentially helps others. I started out with one instance on my P4, then it was 2, then I built another rig just to fold. Then I built another 3.. then I started buying parts for a dual Opteron folding rig...

TheSternMystic Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 Prime95 is best, since when you run the torture test, it TELLS you if you have an error, and if it errors within the first 2 hours, your system could be considered very unstable, but if you can go 24hours without a single error, then you're pretty much completely stable.

Though roughly how many hours of testing without an error would be considered fairly stable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
