thanks for your help

That looks fine, more importantly though, does it pass stress testing and what are the cpu temps at under load?

8 hour stress test was fine max temp was 45c

Max voltage while doing so? What's the cooler? What did you use for stress test?

aida64, h100i v2

VID doesnt mean much, check Vcore instead.

 

Aida64 is quite sktechy at times. Try various combinations with FPU, CPU and cache stress test and find out which one stresses the CPU most (gives the highest temperature). Alternatively, use Prime95's small FFT and large FFT test instead.

max temp 45C? holy fukkkk do you live in an igloo?

running prime 95 small fft test.

how long should i run it for

looks nice, you can probably push more.

15mins is long enough. Water coolers take longer to fully warm up, so just assume it's anouther 8C hotter than what you get after 15mins.

lol very bad advice.

 

OP if you won't run it for 24 hours like you should, at least run it while you are sleeping and stop it when you wake up. 8 hours is good enough, 12 is better and 24 is optimal, though people do like to do 72 hour tests to be safe but I don't think you need to. even though yes people have had crashes from OCs even after longer 48 hours of running the test. 

 

this is for the final OC though, after you tweaked it by the 0.00x GHZ to get %100 of what you can, unless you don't OC that hard core but whats the point to OC if you don't do it to its maximum potential

why? if long stress tests do not guarantee stability, why not just do they short one and mark up everything by a larger margin?

well lets see just from personal experience.

 

ive overclocked a CPU that crashed after 16 hours of testing worked 100% normally and out of the blue crash, error code it gave meant the CPU didn't have enough power. now Im not sure about you but my PC is on 24/7 I never turn it off unless I need to for updated or moving/cleaning.

so if i kept that OC and had lets say one of my 3d animations rendering that easily takes over a day to render on my rig. well that would of been very bad for me hours and hours of waiting lost. even though my rending rig is separate so I can still animate on my other rig.

 

that same rig crashed after around 20 hours on the same OC settings, i just wanted to test it again to see.

I lowed the OC a tiny bit and it was fine, I did a 3 day test and that was months ago and pc has been on ever since. 

 

ive read many many posts of people getting a crash hours or days of the test running, but again if you don't keep the pc on 24/7 then you can probably do what you said and be fine.

not pushing everything to the limit is a much more time saving strategy imo.

 

forgiving is also a virtue

lol you are dumb i'm just going to say it. this is a tech ENTHUSIAST forum. if you want a basic tech forum where you just OC a little bit and test it for 15 min go over to yahoo answers.
