IBT can really thrash the RAM as well as the CPU:
Before you start, temporarily set the "Stress level" to Maximum, to see how much RAM is available to test. Should be about the same as "Available" value in Task Manager > Performance tab.
Subtract about 200MB from the max to leave some headroom for Windows housekeeping, select "Custom" in IBT, enter your RAM amount and set it going ...

Am having trouble with the 3770K, am thinking the chip is a lemon. It crashed a while ago after crunching easy WCG tasks for a couple of days with 4.2GHz/1.14V (load), mem at 1333. Am running Windows mem diagnostic with mem at its rated 1600, to check RAM. Have another 3770K crunching hard WCG tasks (3 x CEP2) happily for weeks doing 4.3GHz/1.112V.
CPU #1 (good) is in an Asus P8Z77-M Pro, CPU#2 (lemon-flavoured?) is in a GA-Z77MX-DH3. With the DH3 there are no settings for Uncore Volts ("VCCSA") (to set IMC & cache) or Vtt. Though I've never had to alter VCCSA or Vtt, it's useful to be able to try, so I would not buy a DH3 again. With the P8Z77-M you can even set them from Windows, but the overclock settings in its BIOS are really quirky and it keeps silently trying to turn "turbo" etc back on.
