bigwill 68 => How many hours of Intel BurnTest do you advise to check it well ?

intelburntest is a 1 time test of stress ,Stress it at the highest level of 1 number of times to run it 5 times watch your temps RealTemp & Core temp after words run Orthos about 7 to 8 hours a normal work shift to see if it passes also

here's my results from me passing intelburntest



as you can see my temps got high as in the 70's under stress test passed 5 out 5
the arrows point to the key areas that you need to keep a eye on

then i closed inteburntest a tested under Orthos for 8 hours..i went to bed

[ViViD]

hey best of luck with the board you got.hey can you post a link to that PSU you are talking about getting also?
Thanks

@ViViD

Thanks reading up on it now

Just 280 sec ? Is It engough for IntelBurnTest ?

[lordmagnum]

biwill => I notice that the tj.Max read by coretemp is 105°C, Shouldn't It be 100°C ?
Can I use prime95 instead of Orthos ?

Anyway, when my overclock was not stable, the unstability was due to chipset/fsb, so, as OCCT is more stressful for memory, I don't think that running Orthos or Prime95 is better.

[lordmagnum]

I've run both Intelburntest (5 times) and Prime95 (8K for 5 hours), and everything works. But should I run intelburntest on Windows 7 64 bits because I've 4 Go whereas XP 32 bits uses only 3.2.

here's mine from few weeks back when just got the corsiar h50, temps have improved since added new fans

IBT stress's alot more than any other stress test out there. it dont take long for IBT to see/find out if things are ok. you can change the amount of test it runs. 5-10 times is more than enough. its not a long drawn out process.

BigWill.
im done over there at that other site. them idiots can have the show and put out bad info. tired of stupidity. people want good info sound advice, not some one sided point of view....

[lordmagnum]

hey guys, Intel Burn Test has found an unstability while running on Windows 7 64 bits, whereas It hasn't found any while running on Windows XP 32 bits.

[cincyrob]

i havent looked into it much but im thinking it might not be setup for Windows 7 as of yet.

[Hoss331]

Stability tests in 64 bit are harder to pass than in 32 bit and if your going to run prime you need to run more than just the 8K test.

[lordmagnum]

8K is good at testing the CPU, I've run OCCT for 3h to check the memory. But at the stock speed, IntelBT has succeeded on W7 64, whereas, at 3.4GHz (with 1.28V for the vnb and vtt) with only 2048Mo, it has found an unstability within less than 1 minute. With XP 32, 2047 Mo is fine.

[Hoss331]

If your wanting to test the cpu run small fft not just the 8k test, running a single test set is not very helpful.

[lordmagnum]

How many minutes should I set ? I want the test to run for 5 h.

[lordmagnum]

I've tried 7*400 (2.8GHz), still failing. Whereas, 8.5*333 is fine. Even with 1.26V vnb and vtt it fails IBT.

[Leeghoofd]

give us some info on mobo, ram , bios settings used...

[lordmagnum]

I wanna reach 3.4 GHz (I have a P5Q-E with the last bios, Q9550 E0 VID 1.25V, 2*2048Mo PC8500 GSkill PK) with these following settings :
Multi : 8.5
FSB : 400
RAM : 1066 (5-5-5-15)
Vcore : 1.225 (LLC disabled)
Ram voltage : 2.1V
Vnb : 1.26V
Vfsb (or vtt) : 1.26V
Vsb : 1.1V (stock)
Vpcie : stock
CPU Margin Enhancement : Optimized
EIST : enabled
C1E : enabled
C-states : disabled
T-junction : enabled
Intel Virtualization (or something like this) : enabled

I've run OCCT for 3H, Prime95 8k for 5H, IBT 5 times, all of these tests have succeeded (on XP 32 bits). But IBT fails on Seven 64.

I'm going crazy, I'm gonna eat my keyboard if this hell carries on.

[Leeghoofd]

Ever thought IBT could be the problem ? we have discovered several issues when runningthe latest version with 4-8 threads (S775 and S1366) very high and max memory setting... is/was a shall program as LinX and co all passed. No idea if AgentGod already updated it...

Try LinX and check again ... I run a Hyperpi32mb (4threads) if that passes I'm already pretty confident it's sort of stable for 24/7 ops for the rams...

[lordmagnum]

ok, thanks for helping I'm going to try Linx and SuperPi, how many times should I run LinX ?

[Leeghoofd]

Try Hyperpi , not superpi mate... and run it with 4 instances 32MB... for Linx set max ram and run 10 instances, more than sufficient... no need to pound ya hardware during hours and hours...

[cincyrob]

im doing a little tinkering went into bios played around with some setting trying to get my ram to run closer to 1066about 920 is the best i can do to keep them stable.went and put things back to normal and forgot and left OC at only 3.61ghz.. no biggy but i ran LinX for the first time. never used it before . this is what i got. is this good bad???? not sure as to how to read it.

[lordmagnum]

Try Hyperpi , not superpi mate... and run it with 4 instances 32MB... for Linx set max ram and run 10 instances, more than sufficient... no need to pound ya hardware during hours and hours...

I've reached about 17 min 30 sec in hyperpi, does It work on Seven 64 as well as other OS ?
I'm going to run LinX.

[lordmagnum]

I've run LinX (max memory) 20 times but It has failed. I've set the vcore at 1.23V and It has succeeded.


Power consumption : 213W.

My cooling system is a Zalman CNPS9700, I think of bying a Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme (or True Black 120 ?), should I keep my money ?

[cincyrob]

how can you tell it failed? your post looks like mine does? does that mean mine has failed also?
