Testing?

[Hagar]

How much testing is sensible and when is it excessive?

If your overclocked rig never falls over during intensive work and gaming, does it need to pass prime on all cores for x hours or x number of passes of LinX/IBT to be stable?

Thanks for your prompt response. That looks useful. On Piledriver, I can prime all day at 4.9GHz with 4 workers, run Aida on eight cores for several hours, encode with x264 HD bench v5.0 approx 1hr 20mins.

It has not black, blue screened or frozen during use. the thing it won't do is prime on eight cores, too much heat.
