IBT freeze test question

[Uriel]

Just gradually feeling out what I can do with my current setup (Gigabyte 870A-UD3 with Athlon X2 5000+ 45 nm 2.3GHz unlocked to quad and overclocked. Currently at 1.175 vCore (1.168 in CPU-z) 3.3GHz (287 bus speed) and seemingly doing OK (subject to further testing - I'm amazed how stable this chip is at low voltages - my old Athlon X2 5000+ unlocked took about 1.45v to get this high)

I've been getting a few instances where the IBT Freeze Test flame stops moving but I can still move the mouse. Despite this apparent freeze, the calculation completes without error and the computer remains responsive once the test has completed.

This has happened before on some of my previous IBT testing and I don't think it's ever represented a problem.

Anything to worry about?

i've had the flames stop moving a few times and it has never affected the test so i don't think it's anything to worry about.

Happened to me too. I just assumed that the system was a bit unresponsive due to being so heavily loaded with work for the CPU and RAM. Never had a problem with my OC, and anything that could complete IBT for me also happily chugged through Prime for hours.
