Do I have a stable overclock?

[Creed1]

Hello.

 

Earlier today I overclocked my 6600k from 3.9GHz to 4.2GHz and my voltage from 1.114v to 1.250v. I have ran intel xtu stress tests for about 7 hours and I'm wondering if I should be stable enough. I reached average temps of 53°C. The reason why I am asking this, is my friend wants me to host a game server (With Failsafe Feature) and play with him. Should I be good?

 

Thanks.

i think so. i never stress tested over 4 minutes and im stable at 4.5ghz 1.35v lol

You should be fine but I passed a 24 hour stress test and still BSOD once. You don't really know if it's stable until it crashes.

Ok. I will just try to host the server and see if it crashes. If it does no big deal since the server has a failsafe feature, so yeah.

when i OC i tend to stress it for 48 hours, but thats not really necessary,

 

but i have had my pc blue screen after 32 hours of testing, so thats why i test so long

What happened when the BSOD occurred? It could be a driver taking too long to receive an input and it tries until your system goes down meaning it might not be the CPU.

you should be fine a 7 hour stress is usually enough for most overclocks especially on a 6th gen intel

I don't even remember because it was so long ago I think I wasn't even playing a game but I bumped up the voltage when it happened a bit and it fixed it. I am running a different oc now anyway though.

It's only as stable as the day it fails, but in general 12-24 hour stress tests do give a fairly conclusive result. However it's not unheard of for it to still fail out of the blue even after a long term stress test, I had my system pass a 12 hour stress test but fail during a long gaming load soon after that.
