orthos, occt, Intel burn test. 3dmark0x, and using the programs that you use normally. while testing it, use the pc normally as you would and see if anything happens.
well my rig is easily passing ITB on some settings 20-60 passes and then fails prime 7-9 hours in. have to set it back to 472 for both to be stable, so for me at least prime 95 seems to be more stressfull than IBT
What is the best program for testing stability of an overclocked PC? I used to use Orthos Prime but is there anything better out now?
if your apps run without error or issue, you are stable.
Not only does Core Damage appear to be purely overkill...LinX still proves to be one of the most reliable and updated options that's actually recognized by Intel. LinX allows you to load down 100% of your available memory as well and will still produce more of a heat load on your CPU then Prime95. If you use your system to game/benchmark and it'll typically never see the temperatures or stress levels generated by Prime and LinX I'd like to know what the point is in pushing it so far that your overclock is severely gimped to compensate for the artificial scenario.
I'm not one to skimp on stresstesting but with as proven as Prime95 and LinX are and with how much heat/stress they produce there is absolutely no reason to push your CPU to these extents. It'd be different is someone was using sub-standard methods and was being recommended to use Prime95 or LinX but when you're already using one of the most reliable methods available you stand to gain nothing from adding another 10-20 degrees to the equation.
Sorry man, not a person attack but there's no good reason to use anything more than LinX and Prime95...I don't care if my overclock would fail at 90 degrees because it'll NEVER be running that hot. If you can make it through 20 runs of LinX and 12-24 hours of Prime95 "Blend" there's no realistic reason to go any further.
