Because when load testing, you need to simulate max core load to show the core is stable no matter what as the core load-line voltage willl fluctuate under arious loads and thats what will decide if your core is stable/unstable.
acutally i like the stress test, it pushes my cpu temp about 3C higher than any other stress test. but your right orthos is what i use for detecting errors. and playing games to see if it locks up.

If so, what exactly is being read incorrect?

Which EVEREST test did you run?
you know how you can see the temps of like 8 different things in the taskbar in the bottom right corner, none of them would show up. or if you go to computer > senser, i get a detecting sensor information thing pop up, and my cpu is at 50% load till i close out everest completely. as well as the cache memory benchmark does nothing, and everest's cpuid does nothing as well. and loading up any of those "popup" windows then makes the main everest window lock up. by loading the stress test it looks fine but half the stuff is missing, and once i close same problem.

but simply by loading atitool, it switches from 2d to 3d clocks for my video card, 2900xt, and presto, everest is working perfectly, until i restart.
