he aked you if you were on water or an air cooler and you answer yes.

Sorry I missed that, im on air, Noctua NH-U12s SE

Try running prime95 small fft on that for me would you?
I thought I was stable with [email protected] it passed every gaming bench I could throw at it. Within 5 mins of prime the whole thing crashes.
I want to see if its our motherboards bios issue or I've got a really ****** CPU

Prime is unnatural, mine passes cini,real and cpuz and I haven't had a crash in games. But f you give me a few mins I will see if it can do 10 mins of prime

Cheers, I'd appreciate that. Mine is fine everywhere I just want to see if its just me or if I need to add more juice. Although 1.3v @ 3.8 im already using more than others.

Very hot mate all other benches it's at about 55c under prime it's over 65c

is prime more torterouse on CPUs?

No need for prime with avx. No game is using avx.... Use your pc to test or run something like real bench which is real world load

ah welcome back, did you ever find out if an OCed 1700 runs cooler then an 1800X clock for clock?

3.9Gz to ensure stabilety.

I can run repeated benchmark tests on realbench and its fine once i go into stress test thats when it gives me a blank screen with system still running. This happens on stock too. I'm beginning to wonder if its heat related. I think I read that these max out at 75 degrees.

Hagar · 11 Mar 2017 at 00:17

Excessive prime degrades CPU's I am sure. The last time I used it was on a watercooled FX8350 at 4.9 and then only for 30 minutes. I would not use it to stress test either a 4c/8t 7700k or an 8c/16t Ryzen.

mmj_uk · 11 Mar 2017 at 00:48

It's excessive voltage and heat which degrades CPU's the most, running Prime95 is basically using a CPU for what it's designed for, to run calculations.

I'm surprised there's talk of 1.4V+ on 14nm tbh, it was a lot even in the 32nm days.

xs2man · 11 Mar 2017 at 01:11

But surely prime stressing the CPU is just crazy? Everything I have read suggests it is not real world. Personally, I stress test with handbrake. It pegs all cores / threads at 100%, and is something I actually use. Anything beyond that, just seems silly to me.

Another with black screen crash... Starting to appear quite common. Definitely opening a thread dedicated to that later.

I'm sorry but this is a nonsense post....The overclocking community has been running prime for years.....AND I'VE NEVER KILLED A CPU...

Please can you provide any evidence for your post?

With respect.

I build a PC. I overclock it...I expect it to compute prime numbers.

All this real world Rhetoric is what exactly?

So now PC hardware is a living organism derived from natural selection?

Please explain what you mean by unnatural?

Thanks

You were asked about cooling....You failed to respond unless pushed...

Then you say you will run 10 mins of prime....

I am asking you to actually test your rig properly...

So post here when you have completed the run....

You state

That's what I'm on at the minute 3.8ghz @ 1.21v

I want proof.

Cheers

This forum is becoming REDDIT

Totally agree with you...

3.8ghz at 1.2v is very good!

I find this interesting since I've just finished some rough testing on a new 7700k myself.

I like the idea of long testing since my current main rig (until I'm done setting up the 7700k) used to crash the test about 4h in every single time until I found some settings it liked and then had to do the same thing again when bumping it from 8 to higher speed 16GB (+0.05v) but leaving it literally overnight is a heck of a sure thing. That's been going... since 2009.

If you don't have cooling to be confident in running it then you don't have cooling but the test is pretty good.

EDITED IF I deem my system to be stable by running a number of stress tests, realbench, cinibench and cpuz stress and have no crashes while gaming or stressing and the temps are running where I am comfortable, then that's good enough for me! I have nothing to prove to someone like YOU! So run along little doggy run along.
