Overclocking stress test

worldwin · April 16, 2014

What do you guys recommend for stress test? I would normally use Kombustor but it crashes my MSI 280x at stock which is kinda sad. I am thinking of using games like Hitman ABS, Tomb Raider, Star Swarm, Batman ETC.

On a side note does anyone know how to make the voltage actually go up? I say this cause i have it set to 1.25V on Afterburner and it caps at 1.163V which leads to instability due to a lack of POWA.

OCCT master race, I'd avoid Kombustor and Furmark.

(in all seriousness usually games are the best stability indicator)
A card can appear stable on synthetics and then crash in game, and vice versa.
