Hello,

 

I'm currently overclocking my i7 7800x

 

I'm not sure if I'm able to stress it enough or if I just really got lucky.

 

I'm currently running 5Ghz at 1.22V and 52C at max.

 

I'm using the blender BMW render test + Intel Extreme Tuning Utility stress test + EVGA oc scanner for the GPU.

 

What other programs can I use? I see that they started to use Prime95 again, but I thought it was "dangerous"?

Back-end developer, electronics "hacker"

It had a brief period where it was causing issues for a certain series of CPU. I can't remember what series it was, but it should be fine now. 

 

Still, I'd pick Aida64 over Prime95 anyway.

aida64 runs stable on an unstable chip for me ( very unstable chip )  screw aida for reliability :S, prime instant crashes

 

decided to once ignore the primecrash but noo it bsods after a while :P , all prime95 does is calculations, if that isnt stable the cpu just isnt stable... and some ppl say just disable avx.. but nah lot of programs actually use avx :S
