***The Official 8HR Stability 5820k/5930k/5960X Overclocking Thread***

I tried this again yesterday, did 8 hours at 4.5Ghz, 1.277v. I bumped up the RAM speed again to 2760Mhz 14-14-14-36-1T and that kind of passed HCI Memtest with 12 threads testing 1024mb each, 11 were still going at 1500% when I woke up but 1 stopped responding and crashed after 650%. I have no idea if it is a RAM problem or something in windows made it crash because it had found no errors before it stopped working.
 
@ easyrider

Have you tried "real Bench" yourself ?

An 8hr stint on the stress with max memory tests your system far more thoroughly than AIDA64. Not saying AIDA is bad just real bench is another tool in the search for ultimate stability :)
 
TIP:
Anyone using HCI Memtest to run equal amounts of memory per logical core.
It gets a little laborious starting up 12 or 16 instances of memtest and setting your max memory per core.
So....
If you open up note pad and enter the following
Code: 
start memtestpro /t1024
start memtestpro /t1024
start memtestpro /t1024
start memtestpro /t1024
start memtestpro /t1024
start memtestpro /t1024
start memtestpro /t1024
start memtestpro /t1024
start memtestpro /t1024
start memtestpro /t1024
start memtestpro /t1024
start memtestpro /t1024

exit

Save it as whatever.bat in your memtest folder.
All you now need to do is double click whatever.bat to start 12 instances of memtest with 1024 MB per instance.
You may need to alter this slightly depending on how many cores and how much memory you have.
Bear in mind though memtest can only test up to 2GB per instance.
 
Anyone know why handbrakecli.exe crashes within seconds when using Realbench? It does it in the benchmark and stress test. I can leave AIDA and memtest running all day with no problems so my system can't be that unstable for it to crash in a few seconds.:confused:

Quick and easy way to find out.

Leave all you voltages etc as they are and back off 2 or 3 on the multi and re run.

Dropped it down a multi and it works fine, AIDA must suck if I can leave it on for 8 hours and it finds nothing wrong but RealBench crashes in the first 10 seconds lol

Actually you may only have needed to reboot to clear the memory.
I habitually reboot before running any stress test.

It's not that, I just put the multi back up and it crashes the handbrake exe instantly, going to try more volts.

Edit:

Had to volts up from 1.277 to 1.3 to get it to run RealBench at 4.5Ghz

I always run handbrake after an over clock and anything over 4.4 it crashes

Yet I can run aida with no issue, I use handbrake a lot for encoding so I want a real 24/7 stable so looks 4.4 is my limit
 
I'll have a got at this tomorrow - I've never gone past an hour before. Unrelated to this but I think some of you may be able to help -

My Cinebench score seems awfully low @ 1189. System specs are in the sig below. Any one else think it seems off for a 5930k @ 4.5Ghz?

Possibly...when I have time. Credit to easyrider with the 'call to arms' with Aida, but so few even ran this test.

It seems no one has bothered to run Realbench anyway.

Probably because realbench stress is not so easy.
With aida ....4.5GHz with 1.26v for 12hrs no problem, but realbench faults after 5 hours.

Ive gone back to basics ATM and working my way back up one multi at a time. The aim being to pass 8 hour realbench stress with no more than 1.28v obviously with a higher frequency as possible.

Cache and memory speed play a good part in this benchmark.
Close all running apps, set the priority as high as you can get away with, and a few runs with lady luck :)
 
Ill have a play with mine this weekend,
not quite sure whats going on though... i have 4.4ghz with 1.125v but im getting crazy temps (about 70-80'c running aida)
Using a H105.. this just dosnt seem normal :(
 
That doesn't seem right at all.

But then getting 4.4Ghz on a 1.125v seems unlikely.

You sure you have fully manual mode on the CPU voltage? Otherwise the system could be feeding it a lot more voltage automatically when it's under load.
