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

[ketma]

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.

Not even tried it, just busy playing Elite ....I'll get round to this.

When they start to roll in I may get on board.

I was really lost trying to figure out most of the bios, so this is a quite quick and rather sloppy attempt.. also i'm not really sure that i trust Aida64, would prefer Prime but apparently it's best not to use it.

Try realbench using the stress option with your max memory selected.
It'll give your system a good work out using real world applications, testing for stability on the way.

I'll give it a go later and post back.

Well i would try it except the program won't start, tried 2.4 and 2.41 and neither of them will open.

I'm off work for the next two weeks so will get my rig real benched

"wont start" is a little broad.

If you mean... You are clicking the start button and nothing happens, you have to wait for it to detect your hardware first. Takes ~30 seconds. Then click start.

 

[Mick-1965]

Heres one to get it started.
Took 15mV more on the core and VCCIN than 8 hours AIDA64 needed.

1.280V max core, 64C average max core temp (Ambient ~25C) I'm pretty happy with this being my 24/7 setting. Although I will probably increase the cache frequency and retest.

Yeah it actually never opened, but it did after i installed the service pack for windows. Still doesn't work properly though, the encoding test and multitasking test run ok, but the image editing and opencl test crash as soon as they start. I think files must be missing but i don't see why those tests won't run. I tried occt in the mean time but temps get to 85c quite quickly and it's too hot, even with 4.2ghz and 1.26vcore.

 

[Mick-1965]

AFAIK The newer versions of OCCT like Prime95 hammer the AVX/AVX2 instruction set and are not really recommended for haswell-e.

Here's 1 try at realbench, surprised at how good this ram is so far.

 

[bigmunkey3741]

After some testing, 1.125v @ 4.4ghz wasnt stable (was fine for gaming)
2hrs of AIDA with voltage @ 1.185v and 4.4ghz was fine.
but still, getting to 80'c on all cores after 30mins cant be right.
The rad is getting toasty as hell so im sure its not a flow issue?? confused.com

Nice.
What voltage are you using for those timings ?

BTW if you go into the folder where you have realtemp and run RealTempGT.exe instead of RealTemp.exe and it'll display all 6 core temps

1.35v, but even though it ran realbench for 8 hours it didn't go so well for the hci memtest run. I came back to find an error, so need to find out what i need to change. I upped the trfc a little bit and will run it again later, if that doesn't work it will take too much time to find out the cause. If that happens i'll just try 13-13-13.

 

[Perfect_Chaos]

Not sure if this is 100% accurate either tbh, maybe need to be run longer.

Some of the review sites i saw of this ram had them running 12-12-12-30-1t apparently without issue, i'm guessing they probably didn't test them enough so they are inaccurate.

 

[Mick-1965]

You really need to run one instance per logical core to load up the memory controller fully.

 

[Perfect_Chaos]

Tried testing again - bsod with 1a error code, rebooted and found a bunch of errors in the memtest log. Tested again with 12 programs open, this seemed more efficient than 6 because it was doing faster coverage and used up 100% of the cpu, no errors in 19 hours so i stopped the test. Still got another bsod regardless with a 7E code a while later.

Very odd, something isn't right.

 

[Perfect_Chaos]

So much for HCI memtest i guess, i downloaded the newest Memtest86 and booted to it from USB. errors popped up in less than 30 seconds, rebooted to make sure it was accurate and the same happened again. Timings raised again and will let it run a while.

Whats a average / expected 24hrs OC for a 5820k?
