Stress Test

[LastThoughts]

Hi everyone,

 

I am try to hit 4.4 GHz on my new I7 5820k on around 1.25V (using adaptive voltage). What programs do you guys recommend to verify the stability of the system? Also, for how long I have to run the stress test? 

Currently, I am using the RealBench (first test for about 4 hours) and AIDA64. But my system failed at around 1h on RealBench on 1.255V, so it means that my system is unstable, no? I have to increase the voltage, right?

 

Thanks in advance

yep. unstable if it ever crashes

Crashes = Instability 

Increase voltage/Decrease multiplier

Ok. 

4h on RealBench are enough?

As to instability, all it takes is one fail (whatever the program might be) for it to be deemed unstable. Either pull the clocks down or increase voltages if you feel like.
