how long to stress test

setter · 1 Jan 2008 at 20:13

have clocked my e6600 to 3.4ghz. vcore of 1.5 in bios, 1.440 in cpuz, my current load temps are, 55'c according to intel tat and 58'c for coretemp.
im using orthos for testing and was wondering how long i should let it run.

About 8 hours , some let it run for 12-24 hours. 8 is normally sufficient though.

I usually run it for 12 hrs overnight while asleep.It great waking in the morning to fin your pc still priming away after a lot of effort tweaking a clock.

that may be something worth looking into, well i ran orthos overnight, and all was well 14 hrs+, intel TAT was reporting temps of 55'c and coretemp was reading 58'c, didnt get a chance to take a screenshot as my brother told me that he needed to use my system, so unfortunately he shut orthos down but he informed me that it had passed over 14 hours and was still going
