Testing stabililty....

How many passes of IBT should you perform to test stability of a new OC?

Also I presume at max settings?

I also have OCCT and Prime - is there a better programme to test stability?

cheers

Running IBT pass 18 out of 30 so far.

I5 2500k @ 4.7ghz
65deg C
1.328v

Finally looks like I may have a stable oc. I was previously just changing the multiplier and leaving everything else, but it kept crapping out!! Kept BSOD during the night or even after an hour of prime earlier today!!

Followed someone's "guide" on YouTube for a similar (same make) board/CPU and so far so good.

I thought I had a un-overclockable motherboard for a bit there!! Lol

30 max IBT passes ran without issue.

Will Prime95 it over night.

Which setting to use for Prime? Blend... Small ffts??
