Your 24/7 Stable OC.

[Rick Flair]

A couple of simple guide lines.

PC must have been on a minimum of 24 hours before tests are run.

CPU overclock test should be Linpack based and a minimum of 10 passes.

Post a picture.

Programs to use.

There are two GUI based Linpack tests avaliable, http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=201670 or http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=197835

And any program that shows System up time is acceptable. I used Everest.

I'd love to take part, but pulling 500w from the wall for 24 hours to prove that it can just sit there isn't going to happen.

A great many people do run overclocked system 24/7, and that is who I want to see posting.

[roller11]

Ditto what Rev said. Not only that, but passing linpack and/or prime doesn't assure/predict/suggest that my CPU will never make a mistake in the future at the same settings at which it passed these so-called "stability predictors".

I get you Rick, but it's just not something people are going to bite at. You're taking the whole 24/7 thing a bit too much to heart, as personally my system is never not overclocked....but it never stays on when I'm not using it.

Best of luck with the thread :)

my rig runs 3.8+ 24/7
prime and linpack stable and not a crash with many hours of gaming and it stays on 24/7.... under 1.2 vcore and 1.2 QPI....

I'd take part, but my PC isn't on that long.

[Grnfinger]

I agree ReverendMaynard I kinda like my hardware a little too much to participate in something that proves nothing.

What do you mean like your hardware to much? I'm asking people who would run their overclocked PC's 24/7 anyway, be it folding, downloading, running a server, as an HTPC or many other uses a PC stays on all the time. Running 10 passes of Linpack would only take about an hour give or take.

As for proving something, I just want to see some truly OC 24/7 systems that are truly stable.

If you don't want participate then don't, but don't thread crap.

You already crapped it. :rolleyes:

[loonym]

I've got some WCG boinc crunchers that haven't restarted in a very long time.

[jcool]

My Dual Harpertown usually has >2 months uptime and is running >1Ghz over spec, does that count as stable :D
I also run my mainrig 24/7 on phase change.. but after 3 weeks or so the i7 seems to act up and needs a restart. Guess that rumour about Nehalem having a TLB bug was no rumour after all.

.

And how are you defining "truly stable"? Within the AC limits of the CPU? If so, there is no software that will prove that. Your choice of linpack and 10 passes are purely arbitrary so they prove nothing. Might as well use an Email tool.

[Angmaar]

My E2180 has been at 3.0 ghz for the last 4 months running WCG 24/7. Does that count?

[Rick Flair]

Oh well, delete thread, thought it would be something simple.

It is simple, it's just that the majority of people here arent 24/7 stable and they would rather thread crap than admit that :D I'm 24/7 with HT off 4.2ghz on a True, don't have time to post pics but will updatethis weekend if the threads still around.

[Mysterfix]

Lots of people don't leave there PC running when they're not home especially these days when most are worried about saving as much money as possible. With that said I'll post a previous run of testing, this is my 24/7 OC when my PC is running this is what it runs at.

[loften]

i am still working on mine.. it was stable at 3.6 for over a year with a e6850. then i got a e8500 and it ran at 4.0 for 3+ months no problems.. it will game for 6-10+ hours a day every day.. as of last saturday it got put on water for the first time on this computer and last night at about 4 am it made it through 7+ hours of prime blend before i stopped the test with no errors @. 4.38 with 56,57 degrees max temps... i did a few more benches and now that i think i got that stable i may try to go a little higher or i may jus leave it there and game on it for a while... who knows..

The thread title is: "Your 24/7 Stable OC."

There are literally 1000's and 1000's of post here showing 24/7 OC's. Maybe using the search function would have been in order. These kind of post always end the same with a never ending debate on what constitutes "Stability", everyone has a different opinion.

It's hard to expect people to spend time producing redundancy because someone is too lazy to do a search. But it's more insulting that you imply that the majority people either don't know what they're doing or are liars, although I'm sure you're 24/7 stable...

Spare us please... :down::down::down:

[little_scrapper]

Yea 24/7 isnt going to happen for me. even though my rig only pulls about 300 watts at load I still wouldnt run it all day and night. That like having 3x 100 watt light bulds on constant, costing me money and heating up my den.

But, my E8400 is orthos/prime stable for over 9 hours at over 4.05GHz, 450x9 @ 1.28Vcore. Thats good enough for me. I generally never run my machine for more than 5-6 hours at a time anyways.

[Mysterfix]

I really don't see what everybody is crying about. If you read the first post OP simply says computer must been on for 24hrs. he said nothing about running prime or any other test for 24hrs. straight. The only test he asked to be posted was "Linx" or "IBT" with at least 10 passes. I'm sure plenty of people have SS saved so how about you guys just post up some of them and stop acting like some one just spit in your face.:p:

Dude, linpack is not enough to say "my pc is stable". 10 hours of PRIME is nessesary step.

[fhpchris]

This is what I run stable....
My cpu is Terrible :(
Time to hunt for something at microcenter...

Bull. I've had 12 hour prime blend and small fft stable clocks fail in 1 second of linpack. If you have days to find stability...prime is great.

[Splave]

Fail :down:

Use what you like and feel comfortable with but this statement is false

[Tekdemon]

lol, all my main comps have run 24/7 OC'ed for years. The only one that didn't was an old P166, but after that all my comps either had problems with their sleep functions (although, this might have been due to the OCs) or were doing some kind of work 24/7 (used to lead a Seti@home team :D my P166 took hours to do a single unit :rofl:). Even the P166 got OCed to 180Mhz of course ;)

Personally I don't like to run it unless it's stable with both prime AND linpack, so my system is at 3.6Ghz (Xeon E3110). But on the bright side I don't have to turn off any of the speedstep/powersave functions so it doesn't really draw 500W all the time anyway (don't have any super power hungry components either).

I actually left Orthos on by accident without realizing (it was hidden in the tray) for an entire 24 period once...and was apparently running both Orthos and intelburntest at the same time at some point without realizing it for like 20 loops, lol. I actually think my CPU could be linpack stable at higher speeds but the problem is that the temps are real bad at 3.6Ghz, and even just turning up the voltage at 3.6 causes it to throttle because temps will go over 100 on linpack. Gotta upgrade the cooling soon.

Never implied anything of the sort, peoples perceptions of others are usually reflections of themselves... :)

Fact of the matter is majority here is more interested in highest cpu clock possible via validation it is extreme forum looking for highest mhz possible at all costs including stability. There is nothing wrong with that, I do it myself when I have time to spare it is fun to see how high I can validate. Problem is asking for 24/7 stable OC's here is akin to walking into a convent and asking a nun about for sex advice.

24/7 OC is also boring because most processors are very similiar when it comes to actual stable result but differ greatly when it comes to highest mhz achieved so everyone goes for highest mhz to differentiate themselves form the others.

Cheers

Cheers Your exact quote was "It is simple, it's just that the majority of people here arent 24/7 stable and they would rather thread crap than admit that." Sounds like an attack to me, but no matter. :)

Of course this quote "Never implied anything of the sort, peoples perceptions of others are usually reflections of themselves..." Is just another slam hiding behind a smilie face... :)

No problem Blue, just carry on. Let's do more Smilies! :):):) Any other comments: Let's save the thread and take it to PM...

Linpack DOES NOT STRESS RAM AND NB A LOT. It is used for testing the absolute CPU stableness. After u are stable at Linpack, you must use Prime and Windows MemTest 3.8 to stress NB and RAM.

Not true at all.

That is the whole point with the good steppings -- They run faster 24-7 than some C0s do period. My 920 C0 won't do on phase what many people here do on air! The same was true with the xeon 3060 vs the E6600. Many X3060s would run over 4ghz prime stable and many E6600s would struggle over 3.6-3.8.

Who cares about max validations and screen caps? I got a 7ghz+ pic with my 920 last night with the 38x multi bug, but god knows I can't run 3dmark at that speed.

It does not stress the NB a lot, but it does stress the ram like hell if you use a decent problem size. 3GB and up it makes your ram burn, and detects ram instabilty 10x faster than prime blend. Only weakness is the NB/mobo on S775 and AMD platforms, I have seen LinX 64 3gb pass for an hour on a Phenom II when prime blend BSODs after 5 minutes (--> NB clock).
With i7 LinX is the ultimate tool though. Not enough Vcore/too hot --> reboot (90%) or error, not enough VTT --> freeze, failing ram --> error.

[The Water Dog]

So long your pc do not crash when you working or playing, then its good enough;)
And im one of those who turn off my pc when im not using it, but my wifes pc is on 24\7 ( but that is going to change when i oc her pc to:P )
But some hours of stress-testing just to be sure is always good.

Back to the Thread Topic.

Perhaps should have worded it differently, nevertheless it's just that many folks new around here see all these nice oc's posted and then get frustrated when they cant run the same clocks themselves, all the while not realizing that the majority of those overclocks are not 24/7 stable. I was in that boat albeit long time ago my point was essentially this could be a very useful thread if not for all the thread crapping.

Some people like to "set it and forget it" when they OC and it's nice to have a thread referencing what the average OC is for 24/7 stable OC's so you don't end up pulling your hair out simply because you were shooting for a totally unrealistic 24/7 OC.

As far as saving the thread perhaps a mod could clean it up and delete all these unneccesary posts?
