Then as soon as i reboot or start using my computer while not under stress it crashes shortly after. I'm one of those folks who doesn't leave an overclock dialed in until my system can do every test just as well as it does at stock. Quote: Originally Posted by lowkickqop I have the same question.

So there will be folks who used to claim 100% stability via other tests who will deem a failed test with this program as irrelevant or meaningless. It's the difference between not knowing for certain but having no evidence to the contrary, and having evidence to the contrary and knowing for certain that an OC has caused a CPU/motherboard/RAM to error. You have direct evidence to the contrary. * If you get an error in this test (assuming no other issue), you can no longer say that your OC is 100% stable. It remains entirely possible that your OC is 100% stable. * If you run this test, and Prime95, and test thoroughly, and you never get an error. Either way, the end result is the same, except instead of chasing this seemingly intangible and completely relative concept of "stability", I can say "I couldn't care less" and have the same great overclock without worrying about what an app or other people say is stable or not.īut to those who are die hard overclockers and stability chasers, my hat's off to you.Ĭlick to expand.Wasn't the person's original point that people who get a "fail" with this program will still call their overclock "stable" erroneously. Or I could leave everything as it is and enjoy longer component life from not upping the voltage as well as a perfectly functional system. I could freak out and investigate the source of instability, which might end up being something like a large lack of voltage. I never got a crash and am stable with Prime either way. I then enabled XMP and was getting 96-98 GFlops. The problem is that I initially left XMP off for stability testing and was getting 104 GFlops. If I run this program and it turns out I blue screen instantly, I could do one of two things. I recently got a new mobo: MSI Z77A-GD65 and i easily got my 2500-k to 4.5Gz. I look at it this way - My current OC has been rock solid stable and the only time I've ever had BSOD's are when I muck around with overclocking the ram without knowing what I'm actually doing. The first CPU was purchased the month the i7-4790k was released and the second was on black friday in November. The temperature with stock cooler is: 91c 86c 88c 85c vs the other i7-4790k purchased in November with the stock cooler 79c 82c 78c 76c. This utility sounds awesome from what I've read and I will probably try it out on my q6600 3.6 1.3875 vcore OC however, I'm in the same boat as those who say as long as the computer does what I need it to do efficiently and without any crashing, it's fine. The one I seem to be having problems with is the first CPU.
