Stress Test times

[TubsAlwaysWins]

Is about 8 hrs of Aida64 enough to be considered a stable overclock

[Swndlr]

Yes

[Enderman]

you should use more than one stress test

just because its table for 20 years running aida64 doesnt mean it will be stable when running something else

 

usually 15 minutes of running the stress test is enough to know that it is stable for that stress test

[TubsAlwaysWins]

Yes

What would you consider the minimum to be

[vpavlicevic]

When I overclock I run it for at least 24 hours.

Agree with that. I personally think if you can pass a Cinebench test you're fine in most cases, however you should stress test and after you should play some games (Especially at higher overclocks) to make sure you know, games are actually playable. With some overclocks I've been completely fine but can't play some games because the game doesn't like a 4.9+GHz overclock

Dont just use one program to test it

My recommendation is using a ASUS RealBench too

So far I stress test with 3D Mark Physics test (I bought the full version on sale), Cinebench, and Aida64. Anything else I should be using

(same with that 3DMark but I don't use it for Physics) Intel XTU.

Intel XTU doesn't work with AMD CPU's sadly. Thanks for the recommendation though

Oh, I was not aware you were running an AMD CPU sorry about that.
