Overclock test

Now that is rude.

Rate of heat dissipation is proportional to temperature gradient. So the rate at which heat moves from heatsink to atmosphere is low when just starting, as the heatsink is cold. Therefore the chip gets hotter fast. Once the heatsink starts to warm up, it throws out heat faster. After a while the chip and heatsink hit equilibrium, at which point you hope the chip is under 70. It's often called Newtons law of cooling, and it's a poor approximation but it is easily accurate enough here.

Beyond that, form your own notion of stabilty and work to that. ******** to you.

My last post was not aimed at you. It was aimed at the pos

If you want to use just IBT for stressing as well not all of us want to let our comps run Full whack for endless ours of prime. I know i certainly don't.

I would suggest setting it to maximum memory, and atleast 20 runs if it keeps under specified temps and dos'nt fail then yes your comp will be stable. And honestly nothing you do on your comp will ever make it heat up as much as IBT can.

Standard will heat up ur cpu more, but maximum will use more memory, and therefor check for overall stability.

Thank you lots.

This is the kind of answer i was looking for.
