AMD CPU Overclocking testing. AIDA64 vs P95

[CoolaxGaming]

Hello!
 

I am running a 480mm liquid cooling loop with the CPU and GPU in it. My temps are well under max. 

 

Now just to be clear, I am not going for low ocs. This system is used for ~7 hours a day. The oc's will be about 4.7Ghz to 5.1 GHz. 

 

Now, when I stress test, I usually use both these softwares. But, with the AIDA64 test, I can usually get 0.1ghz higher stable. P95 rejects it earlier.

 

Which software should I trust more?

AIDA64 shows stability at lower clocks while OCCT and P95 deny it

I prefer aida64

I'd test with everything (Don't use auto voltage and stress test) and if anything you test with crashes because of your overclock, consider it unstable. I use Aida+Prime95+Cinebench then go play some GTA V

Dont use P95 it puts way more stress on ur system than any real world app will put on it.

I use cinibench r 15 for all my stress testing + doing some gaming + intel XTU for the i5 intel burn test is about = to cinibench

If cinibench passes the test then its probably stable. If u use P95 u will probably put .05-.15v more into ur CPU than u need to.

It only puts extra voltage into your CPU if you're using auto/offset voltage. That's why you're supposed to stress test with a fixed voltage limit

DUH i use fixed voltage but i mean using P95 will lock up systems where cinebench etc doesent thus if you only use P95 more voltage will be needed to make P95 happy.

Oh... yeah that makes sense I wasn't thinking of it that way. I can finish cinebench/Aida64 without a problem then get into GTA V and after an hour get a bluescreen

On my i5 intel burn test and intel XTU will put the i5 at 65C but gaming only puts it in the 60s whereas P95 hit 88 and then it shut off so i no longer use P95

 

EDIT: running intel XTU stress test only at 61C tops so P95 is ALOT more intensive i guess..

AIDA64.

how high is your voltage OP?

My FX 8320 ran 4.7 GHz at 1.47 or so Volt, but summer temps came, and i had to turn it down to 4.52GHz at around 1.4350V

Now the 8350, if you are using that CPU listed in your signature, is just a better binner 8320, so you should be able to get lower voltages then me and remain stable.
