3800 at 2.7 with 1.52V at 45'C Prime

StevenG · 30 Jul 2006 at 10:08

just thought about trying to overclock with more voltage see what happens.. and im getting the following temps

CPU = 42-45'c
PWMIC = 43-44'c
Chipset = 47'c

are these temps too low?

Are you running two instances of Prime?

I use THIS >> http://sp2004.fre3.com/

To test my cpu, from what i gather its a modified version of Prime 95, and you can select how many CPU's you need to stress at the same time

Yes im running dual prime.. and im at 48'C at the minute using a Scythe Ninja

The DFI UT boards undereport CPU temperature, usually by around 10C.. so I would say your CPU is closer to 55C.

My 4400+ is at 52C so you should be fine with your temps

people have various oppinions on how long to run prime for. how long do you think i should leave it?

SiriusB · 30 Jul 2006 at 22:11

I ran mine "overnight" - which was about 18 hours in reality [I didn't sleep for that long, was just how long since i started the test

]

Just run it for a straight 24 hours. You can still do other stuff with your PC such as browse, email, music etc.

If it passes 24 hours then it is a good bet you have a stable overclock. The best test you could probably do is a DC project running long term.

I have been running Folding@Home 24/7 since my overclock several weeks ago... no errors yet

well i was planning to run it till tomorrow, its on abut 12 hours now..

and if it passes that it will be running FAH 24/7

SiriusB · 30 Jul 2006 at 22:16

F@H is pretty much the most evil of all stress tests to put a CPU through. If you have no issues in a weeks worth of folding I would say you have a stable rig

Good luck!

StevenG · 30 Jul 2006 at 22:18

right so should i just go back to F@H if that stress tests it. its done 12 hours of prime no problem so i can post that as a stable overclock?

SiriusB · 30 Jul 2006 at 22:22

Ive seen people post 8 hour prime tests as stable lol.

You could run Prime95 all day every day for days on end, but that wouldn't achieve anything. At least running F@H you're getting something done

If you have a problem, lower your OC/up voltage/whatever and try again.

You will know if you have a problem with F@H... you get EUE errors [Early Unit End - i think] either way your stats will be weird too... you might have say 5 WUs credited but only got 20 points from them.

right, im going back to folding @ home to get some more points.. lol right im gonna post my prime's now and then go back to F@H

thanks for advice
