I thought about seeing if my cpu can do 4.8 lately (currently 4.6 6700k for last 3 years) I never did prime 95, occt or aida, Since I only game I just played the hardest to run game that I had (witcher 3) and played it for 5 hours straight, didn't crash, next day lowered voltage played w/e, every day I just lowered voltage until I saw a crash, finally got too low and left voltage at 1.29 and its been fine for the last 3 years, why is prime and other stress tests used so often when gaming is the only thing you do? I ask this as us gamer nerds seem to oc the most for extra fps but don't photoshop or anything so why not just use games as the stress test? just a random question that's been on my mind last few days
