When did you realize that the best way to test your new amd system stability was to leave everything alone at complete idle?

I've been hard pressing my machine for the past week and a half non stop and no errors anywhere, and last night i left it running idle and suddenly i had a WHEA error in my event log. Literally been stressing it for a week + in various heavy workloads and not seen a single WHEA error.

This new era of CPUs is just ground breaking, i need to re-think my whole strategy towards testing this new hardware it seems. These boosting algorithms have me thrown for a loop

I have noticed that as well, last 2 days I have been hammering it with games, realbench @2 hours 32gb memory, cinebench and even prime and it hasn’t missed a beat, sitting at Idle yesterday and today and 2 random restarts, very strange
 
update, now i cant even run my system at a slow 2666mhz/1333flck this thing is degrading in front of my eyes, theory is that the heavy 1.5v served to the cpu during the idle work loads has essentially broken my cpu silicone and now its not even operating at stock.

ill do some more testing during the weekend, such as installing a fresh copy of windows just to make sure this error isnt related to a specific update or driver/program/usb device i may have recently installed in the system.

when i say the system is not stable i am meaning it is throwing WHEA errors, i have yet to have an actual crash, but considering i have moved my professional work stuff over to this new system crashing it over and over and potentitally corrupting the data is not something i want to risk so i locked my multipiler to x30 resulting in a strict 3000mhz clock on all cores and no boosting (all errors are gone) but my new computer is slower than my old.
