XS INTEL CORE i7 STABLE OVERCLOCKING DATABASE

[billdavis]

[b]for all questions or

[INFRNL]

everyone hurry up and get your results in, lol Im getting ready to get a D0...as weather I go I7 or Xeon is another? Everyone has their opinion of what stable is. I say if you can run 24/7 for a month straight or more, is all I need myself...lol

I myself havent runb intel burn test, but I can do anything I want along with WCG 8 threads and F @ H on multiple gpu's for months 24/7 without ever crashing; if thats not stable then; I dont know what to say.

anyway get your results in. Im going to MC in a few hours, lol

[charden]

8 hrs of prime blend right? Any other settings?

[ReverendMaynard]

no screen shots...no go.

Also change the i7 921 to i7 920 on your spread sheet

Also, stepping is key. D0 vs C0/C1 is a huge difference.

[Sparda]

Why does it need to be 8 hours ? I need a nuke power plant on the back of my house. Might move to chernobyl too. Does f@h or something like that take into account ?

@Bill Prime 95 V2.59. There are different downloads per OS i.e. 32bit, 64bit.

Nice thread, this will help me a lot with my i7 920 setup.

It's questionable if IntelBurnTest fully loads 8 cores when hyperthreading is enabled.

[The Nemesis]

Never really cared for all these newcomer stability tests myself. OCCT is the newest I accept personally. When testing cpu/system stability I do 1mb then 32mb pi then 3DMarks 06 & Vantage then 1- 2 hrs OCCT then 8-12hrs prime. 32Mb pi is mostly as quick extreme overclock test because it can now be completed in 7-8 minutes vs the 13-15 minutes it use to take. Also often a cpu could pass 32mb pi but crash on 3DMark cpu test. I see the purpose of this thread, "true system stability" and I welcome such a thread. I've got a couple batch #'s with 8+hours of prime to report and I'll post them after I finish my D0's stability testing.

billdavis, I've done threads like this before and they are alot of work. Don't get discouraged because we appreciated such effort. It's your thread, you set the parameters to make the database. Anyone who doesn't agree can simply not submit an entry.

[billdavis]

Thanks The Nemesis,

send the oc's

[Praz]

hey Praz.
dont think you finished your sentance

what do you recommend for IBT stability length

It isn't the length. 8 threads of IntelBurnTest will only load the cores approximately 50%. If using this as proof of stability Task Manager or something similar should be included in the screenshot while IntelBurnTest is running to show the loaded state of the CPU.

OK MAN
im just going to stick with good old prime 95 and OCCT. seems like to much of a pain for all others stress tests

[justin.kerr]

lol, now you tell me.

There is no issue with LinX.

[DJSUB]

does it need to be 8 hrs for the occt? how about 2hrs occt?

thanks

[billdavis]

lol, now you tell me.

8 Hours has always been the standard and that im not going to change

Not a big fan of prime for 8 hours, (waste of cycles that could be crunching ) but saw this thread and thought I'd try to contribute. I like the databases, gives you an idea of what to expect when you're thinking of upgrading.

I have it 12hr prime stable. How do I upload the screenshot. I don't have a website to upload to.

[aoch88]

It looks like D0 is generally a lot better than C0.
