5ghz stable 4930k Ht-on.

This is 5g not 6.3!!! Show us some Physics scores, Cinebench, XTU, Prime interests no one and proves nothing.

5g / 1600mhz Dual/single channel is a breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!!!!

You have only showed a screen of CPU Z, No benches or memory settings or anything. Your 5g might be as efficient as someone at 4.8 with a tuned setup.

The frequency is good yeah but the CPU may not scale with Volts.

What batch is that??
 
Prime and IBT interest many and has become the standard for stability.

IMO it is not stable if it cannot pass them, who cares about a few secs/mins benching?

Well done OP, but a few screenies would help but TBH there is no point in telling lies and only lying to yourself, other will be jealous hint.

I had a 5GHZ stable 2700k but this CPU cannot OC as POS batch, will not even post most time if OC'd past 4.1GHZ.

If you can show your CPU running P95 at 5Ghz.
P95 running with CPUz and coretemp open.

If as you say it is P95 stable at 5Ghz (and not throttling) then that is an excellent chip.

Ignore 8 Pack he lives in a place where only benches matter.

The majority of folks on here are interested in stable clocks and would love to have a 5Ghz stable IVY-E

Lol PCZ sadly you is wrong!!

IBT and Prime show only the ability to run Prime and IBT!! That is not stable. Who uses these progs daily?? The standard set by who.

I have seen several machines able to run this silicon torture for hours that cant drive 4 GPU.

In the case of Ivy E which you don't own. I know for a fact gaming and GPU stuff is tougher on em than 2D. XTU is a bench on HWbot based on Prime. WR for this chip is at 6340mhz, No ones Ivy E can run 3D at that frequency.

To test your pc use it for what you need it to do.

I have 5ghz Ivy E, SB-E, Haswell and Ivy's several of em and have tested literally hundreds of chips. Experience tells me how to test these systems not being dictated to by a standard that does not exist!!!

Again who benches daily, totally minority and GPU sales on only benching as you said in another thread (GPU's are not for games or words to that effect) would put AMD/Nvidia out of business?

I and others use those programs and 3DMark/Memory Tester Apps to test a new RIG/OC so it hopefully will not fall over in other uses which it still can.

The fact is none of your bench scores would run any length of time and who cares as you cannot run LN2 all day (yes I have used LN2 at work to shrink metals).

Even the OC bundles you sell state not to run Prime/IBT, because they are NOT stable.

And if a new GPU has extra VRam you say "NEXT no good for benching" < who cares I game and if it has extra power/VRM/Phases to carry the extra VRam it can clock the same.

A very crazy/closed outlook you have.
 
Who do you think you are talking to ?
I most certainly do own IVY-E CPUs
Bought and paid for with my own money.
 
Lots of people have had there systems prime stable including me then a few minutes into a game or encoding then you get a blue screen. I only use prime now to get Max temps for q minute or two
 
That is why I said it can still fail and a few mins is not enough.

Also will not be same as 3D gaming that is why you also test with various 3DMark/Heaven/Valley Apps.

Very good peeps/advise on XSF.

Still a damn site more stable than being to scared to Prime it as you know it is not stable.
 
Same here, I do not "pull my pudding" at bench results all day, do on a new Build/device/OC then use as normal. :)
 
8 Pack makes a very good point, oc a cpu under p95/LinX/ibt, 8 hours or 50 passes on t
hose tests. Yes it proves the chip is stable for those tasks. And tbh who runs p95 etc on a day to day basis. Fire up a game or go to encode a video file, your p95 etc system crashes in a few seconds. Your left in the wind wondering where things went wrong. Use your system for your normal tasks, if it bsod's, get the code and work from that.

I used to be a firm believer in 8 hours minimum on p95 blend then 8 hours on small fft, no need nowadays. Use your system for your tasks, thats the stress test for every individual.:)
 
That is your choice but its not everyone's.

No reason a CPU should not be able to pass those tests, many can up voltage and boot to 5GHZ and claim its stable in Windows etc.

I have not en/recoded a movie in years, no need to these days.

Again you need to run 3Dmark/Heaven for 3DGaming, Prime95 is not going to show up a weakness in that side of CPU.

Did you type above from a phone?

No 2 ways about it though a system that can't pass atleast a couple of hours of prime, occt or similiar is NOT stable even if you can run most of your every days tasks there will be some stuff that crashes or small errors creep in.

Flipside as 8 pack says it only proves its stable with IBT, prime, etc. and you can still see a system that passes hours of a specific torture test crash with another application.

I usually use an hour or so of XTU (well shorter at first as it will crash out in seconds or minutes or so when your too far above) to get a feel for where stability is and go from there it saves a ton of messing about and potential corrupt files, etc. never really been one for 8+ hours of priming but excluding those tests isn't the best either IMO.
 
I'm not always in agreement with 8Pack (still waiting for those Cinebench/memory proofs ;)) but in this regards he is pretty much correct. P95 and IBT can highlight instability pretty quickly but conversely long runs of either do not prove stability.

When the times comes I often run P95/IBT etc for 10 minutes or so and then after that game and encode, though prefer the former as a lot of crashes during an encode can corrupt the OS.

OP, indeed a 5ghz 4930k is not a common occurrence so well done. What are you maximum temps?
 
Nor does running a non tested PC till it crashes doing normal tasks, that is reason you test to best you can with those Apps.

It stands to reason that you can assume its stable running them when you put together a new PC than not running them and finding out later its not stable.

He does not like those Apps as he know his OC's are not going to pass them.

Each to their own but IMO and many others I do not care if I see 5.2GHZ here as its not stable unless shows those Apps running a good while and yes then in time you will know if its stable in all uses.

I have had some good sample CPU's in past, both AMD and Intel (This one if my 1st POS) and all were Prime/IBT/3DMark etc. stable at decent voltages and temps on air.

It is not magic, take a bit of luck to get a good sample but if you get a POS one and want to kid yourself on its stable as it can do normal things at a set OC then so be it.
 
Heat is the main thing puts me off running this current chip on ibt etc. 95c in seconds under p95, thats intels fault for cheaping out and using stuff like putty for paste. Yes i could delid it and re paste it with liquid ultra/pro, warranty is out the window. Shame on intel for selling a supposed overclockers chip with a shoddy paste job. When the customer fixes it theyre caught out by warranty.
