What mode should i put intel burn test on to check whether my system is stable or not.

is standard enough?

(never used the program before)

I all ways use very high. 20+ runs

10 runs on Maximum stress test with 4 threads will show up your maximum temps under load.
Take a screenshot halfway through the last run to show IBT, CPU-Z and Core Temp (or Real Temp) on screen together. Then post it here

Something like this

This is making me feel bad! It was my choice to swap from the D14 to the Kuhler.

But i'm seeing 80ish temps running IBT @ 4.6. Dropped down to 4ghz atm, was getting random freezes in bf3, love how no matter what stress test you use, still takes a game to break things! I'm guessing I just need more volts, would finsh it but need the pc to be stable for the next 24-48hours recording some stats.

Atleast i know i can drop my case temps just by turning my case fans up a little, everything on low atm! Oh and i only see 60-65 temps while playing bf3! 40-50% load

Why replace the D14? Fantastic cooler.

Agree - the D14 is a great cooler. My [email protected] tops out at 70 on IBT max after 10 runs on a Silver Arrow which is comparable.

I could hear the fans more than i wanted, just trying this as another option with 2x Gentle typhoon's. Its quieter, still some trial and error going on!

My D14 is pretty quiet. The two noctua fans are quieter than the single sflex i had on my previous TRU.
