KFC Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I would like to test the stability for my new system. What settings are best to use? If I remember. FPU checked alone was best for cpu test? How long should tests take? I was just going to select them all and let it run for a few hours. But, don't think that is optimal way of doing it?

Fiery Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 The FPU test, when used alone, is the most demanding stress testing method, since it uses AVX and FMA instructions to heat the whole CPU package up as much as possible, and puts the highest load on the CPU. It's not a diverse stressing though, since it focuses on the thermal stress, so we generally recommend to run the FPU subtest for a few hours, and in case the system can stand it without issues, then run a mixed test as well, by enabling all subtests (including FPU).

KFC Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 How many house are we looking at for FPU test? And how long for everything all together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 At least a few hours for both tests. Ideally, 12 or more hours, if it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henkenator68NL Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Stability testing, what do you mean? You build the rigg left it untouched (bios) and want to know if it's stable? Or did you overclock certain hardware? Mind you , that 4790K is a hell of a beast capable off huge overclock - if correctly and ample cooling is applied. If nothing is overclocked - don't bother - just use it. Play some demanding games. If no problem = stable . Happy gaming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
