Ill get some screenies done after i finish work and put my daughter to bed.
I use linx,occt(linpack),prime95 and ibt. Ive always done it like this for true stability, also games don't stress your computer as much as the stability tests. I never crash in games apart from bf4 lol.

Good to know and no matter what others say they are not stable if not done the same.

Obv you need run some 3D tests like 3DMark/Heaven and no doubt some games and someone mentioned BF4 crashing and another said he was not stable, well many have BF4 issues, the game was a disaster at launch for many.

I really do not care if someone pays Minecraft stable at 5GHZ or what 8packs says going by some of the statements he comes out with on this forum TBH.

If you are happy with your PC so be it.

Well if your crashing in BF4 some things not right -->Stability.

Bf4 was working fine 3 months ago but since the latest patches i cannot even play....BF4 is full of bugs and i cannot even spawn. I have to Alt and Tab toto desktop to quit the game. No other game i have problems with except bf4, infact i dont even have it installed so its irrelevant.

The reason why i use all stability tests is because you run the risk of micro data corruption with each unstable hard crash or bsod. This is were SFC /scannow comes into play or even worse a fresh install of windows. This is why i use all tests as one test will find a weakness were another does not.

I have good watercooling as well, 3x RX360 rads, 2 D5 Pumps, best blocks that money can be. Everything i have is of the finest components, all in an M10 Caselabs case which ive had since 2011. Had it imported before most people over here even knew what caselabs were. When i bought my case, Jim used to operate out of Overclock.net and all purchases were done through forum PM. This was long before the Caselabs shop was even open. Anyhow im hapopy with it, i have a 900d also with 690 in it under custom water.

tbh, I test by loading up some demanding games, BF3 at the time was the game I used to test 4.4/4.5GHz, if my OC didn't have enough v the whole system would just lock up.

Tested recently on BF4 where I need over 1.3v for 4.8GHz on my 3770k had a lot of loading up to windows where everything seems fine, as soon as I loaded something up that was cpu/gpu intensive total lock up.

At some point I'd like your help 8-Pack OCing my 3770k as i've only just bumped up the voltage and not touch any other settings and once i've upgraded my cooler, so far i'm sitting comfortably with 4.4 @ 1.130v

I would love to know if it's you that builds the overclocked systems for overclockers, I'll make sure I never buy one going by this comment, your saying it's ok to sell unstable systems.

A system that corrupts data and is unstable to me is faulty, and requires returning to be repaired.

I would have done a fresh reinstall of BF4 + UPdates and tried it again to see if it was the update.

If not this would have bugged the hell out of me.

Quote 8pack - "OS who care!! just image back."

I think 8pack is saying if your OS is corrupt, if you back it up just reinstall the image.

This is what l do.
 
So your not you tube stable :)

Clearly your vcore is too low when off load.
Adjust your voltages properly.

You needed to delete a line on your BF4 user.cfg file if that was the issue you were getting. If you'd asked on the BF4 forum page I / we coulda helped you ;)
 
reading thru this thread at new posts and i noticed a few snide comments about me failing in game despite being prime stable. question that i need to ask, bearing in my im completely new to the whole overclocking scenario, is what exactly consists of a rock solid overclock?? i tend to agree with 8pak here i can be 100& stable in game, numerous runs of asus real bench 2.0, aida64, cinebench and ibt at 4.8ghz yet i can crash it 7 or 8 mins into a prime95 run which im assuming makes my pc totally unstable despite 12+ hours gaming sessions is this correct??

yet again i use my pc exclusively for gaming and general internet usage and wayching movies i dont crunch numbers at all all day long and have no interest whatsoever in doing so either and this it what totally confuses me as people are now telling me my pc is unstable despite no bsod, i know im having trouble with my gfx card but that is something else and is almost soprted
 
Only unstable of you're planning on ruining p95 imo, I don't have time for it so never use it lol. I set my computers to clock for my uses, if it crashes dial it back or add more V.

ot of people will disagree. Oh well :)

You are creating a dilemma for yourself.
Choosing which things to be stable at and what to ignore failure on.

Drawing back from the ragged edge to a point where your PC passes any test you set it would be better don't you think ?
Is that extra 100/200 Mhz really worth it when you know that you have instability running certain tasks ?

The difference between say 4.8 and 4.6 is not game changing and the benefit to you is peace of mind.

As it stands when you do run into problems running certain apps you cant be sure it isn't your OC rather than some iffy code that is the issue.

We never send out unstable systems. Dear me this is a crazy thing to say. I am saying I personally when experimenting just image back. I have like 20 Different images + stored. I am talking from an OC testing POV. Surely no one would install everything a fresh everytime they test an OC they use a backup. Our tech department install and run loads of tests before systems pass to be sent out. This is the sys preped ready for the end user only when full system testing is complete.

This is a good way to look at it. Why would a sprinter run marathons?? or why would a Bodybuilder do only swimming??
 
Another croc of **** argument about stability. Ffs, if its stable for what you use it for great, no need to sit on top of a p95 pedestal preaching to the rest of the community that if it doesn't pass xyz then it's not stable in your opinion. Nobody really gives a toss about that opinion tbh.

To OP, congrats on the nice chip, 911's do seem to fair quite well! Any idea what the lowest vcore for boot is? Tried on 125?

im not i was happy being an inexperianced novice to the oc world that my pc done everything that i asked of it no problems bar run p95. then i read this thread, which to me is full of scaremongering imho, stating that if i cant pass p95 then my pc aint stable despite advice from the world record holder of overclocks saying otherwise.

all i have really learned from this thread is that there are so many people with so many dif opinions and everyone thinks they are correct however as a minority have pointed out if my pc is stable for everything that i use it for then it is stable.
