Hi all,
This thread has been made to check the stability of my overclock, and make sure all the results are OK
It is related to the problem I was having in this thread, and we were trying to work out if the overclock was unstable
Basically I never done any stress testing when I first overclocked it. I never done this as I never used to play games on my PC and never done anything that stressed it that much, so didn't bother with the stress tests. So maybe now that I have started playing more games, I have started getting this error (shown in the link to the thread above) as the overclock isn't stable? I did used to play a bit of APB Reloaded and Metro 2033 (but I don't think they're very demanding games), and had no problems
All of these screenshots show the figures after the stress test had completed 10 runs, at each stress level, there is one image that shows the figures mid-test on the maximum level so you could see the voltage
Standard
High
Very High
Maximum - mid test
Maximum
So the highest temperature was on maximum and it was 77 degrees Celsius.
Do you think that I need to reseat my cooler (Gelid Tranquillo), and reapply paste etc because core #2 seems to be a lot higher than all the other cores?
Are all the results OK?
Hope you can help and thanks in advance
EDIT: The voltages during the tests stayed at around 1.280, they went nowhere near 1.4, which is good, right? During the tests, HW Monitor and CPU-Z were working fine, but CoreTemp kept on not responding if I clicked on it, but I think the temperature readings should still be correct And the computer did not crash / reset at all during the stress testing so I'm assuming the OC is stable?
