[5690-X Stress Test]

Hello,

  Thanks Feiry. I have enabled Stress CPU,FPU,Cache and system Memory at once. This test was running for 8 Hours with no issues. This was a 4.2 OC with 1.2 Voltage on the CPU. Is that considered 24/7 safe overclock ? 

[5690-X Stress Test]

Hello,

  I hope you are doing well. I recently updated my system to a X99S system. Ofcourse as any one who owns an extreme processor, I tried to Overclock it. While doing the stability test, I was getting very bad temps using Prime95.  A lot has said the Prime95 is not the right choice when it comes to Haswell/Haswell-E.

 

So I downloaded and bought a license for AIDA64 extreme edition. Running the stress test at 100% usage CPU and almost memory as well, I get very acceptable temps stock or overclocked.

 

Now my question is, How reliable is the stress test using AIDA64 ? and how does it compare to Prime95 ?

 

And how long should I keep the stress test running to confirm the the stock or overclocked system is 100% stable ?

 

Thanks and regards,
