Best 4790k stress testing program?

Best 4790k stress testing program?

[LeapFrogMasterRace]

It is good to run a mixture of programs like Intel burn test (IBT) along with Aida64

[tp95112]

I used IntelBurnTest very simple program

[mikat]

aida64, intel XTU 

[Imakuni]

Prime95. All in one app that can test everything, outside of the GPU.

[Enderman]

intel XTU

This is prime 95,     Are these good temps? i just payed silicon lottery to delid my cpu for me.

Good temps for prime 95? i had someone delid my cpu. are these temps reflecting that?

yes very good

but its not recommended to run prime95 on that CPU

why not? and btw, are you sure these temps good for this overclock?  btw my room is 77F

yup, intel XTU would be a better option (also has alot of cool stuff in it)

They seem quite low, considering the voltage. Congratz on the delid, seems to have worked.

yes it is definitely good for 1.28v

 

@Imakuni

and its not good because prime95 is more of a torture test than a stress test and uses certain functions that cause the CPU to heat up more than it ever will when using regular programs

so it unnecessarily stresses the CPU to unrealistic limits, which could cause it to overheat or make the OC seem unstable when it actually is stable

I don't see how they are any different, but okay....

FMA3, to be precise.

There are plenty of people (including me) that run P95 tests 24/7. If OP is one of them, I'd say you can't get more realistic than that.

Only if one doesn't know what they're doing.... Because if they do, there's not overheating ever.

LOL. That's totally not how it works. What you are basically saying is equivalent to "my CPU is stable at 5ghz 1.0v, just don't run anything on it or there'll be problems".

 

Just because other programs don't recognize the instability, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. If there's an error with ANY program (including P95), then the CPU is unstable. Period. You might decide to ignore the instability, but it's still there, whether you want to face it or not.

If that is the first 6 minutes of a prime95 run, you haven't even hit the fun stuff yet, so your temperatures are low and not reflecting a full test.

I personally prefer a battery of test vs single long duration testing.  In my experience, this has resulted in a much more "stable" setup.  

 

I agree that if your OC can't handle a prime95 run, that it is not 100% stable.  With that should, I believe that one should test stability in a manner that reflects their actual use.  If you could miraculously hit 5 GHz at 1.0v, but crashed in prime95 and prime95 only, does it matter?

so what should i do? i just payed someone to delid my chip, and im using a x61 with mx4 thermal paste in an ambient room temp of 79F

You don't need to do anything really as your temps appear fine, but you can always test them more.  Run some RealBench, OCCT and AIDA64 if you aren't comfortable with the temps, but I'm sure that your fine.  

[aisle9]

RealBench, AIDA64, OCCT, Cinebench. In some order.

Thanks man, listen, my room temp was super hot, i put my pc on the same side of my desk as the a/c blows towards, and temps lowered alot. under 60C at stock settings.

And by the way, i use prime 95 version 26.6 because of the AVX thing.

Sounds like you have things well in hand.  Have fun with it.

Thanks. i guess in the hot summer i might have to turn of Turbo boost, due to heat it generates.

[done12many2]

Not at all.  Just check your temp with the tests recommended.  No reason to disable any features. 

 

I have a 4790k that runs in the 70s and 80s with no issues.

But is it Overclocked?
