Your choice picks of monitoring and stress test programs for Haswell?

[Rob94hawk]

Got my system together now I just want to start messing with it. I haven't done any overclocking since socket 775 so I only know of the old programs like CPU-Z, prime and hardware monitor. What are there new versions of monitoring and stressing? Thanx

[XBrytanX]

at this time I would only recommend Aida for stress- testing
monitoring - HWMonitor

you can find them all HERE

[Rob94hawk]

Nice find! How about for memory? I've seen a few people show their mem stats with something other than CPU-Z.

[XBrytanX]

Aida64 mention above (there is new beta for Haswell posted HERE) or MaxxMEM v.1.99-memory ,if you want to stress-test your RAM Hyper PI 0.99b or MemTest 4.0 (run Memtest86+ v5.00 or later first to find hard errors)

My Picks

CPU Stress:
Intel Burn Test. For quick stability test. I use it to get in the ballpark
Battlefield 3 multiplayer 64 man server . If your cpu can survive this for about an hour, your golden.

Memory: Memtest 86+ 3 - 10 loops

For CPU-Z 1.64.3 (64bit) the core temps are jumping all over the place when reading the Haswell cpu. Is anyone else seeing this?

And CPU Vcore 0.896 @ 4.2 Ghz using HWMonitor? lol that can't be right.

OCCT 1h and after practical using (but I know about new AIDA stress test)

HWMonitor is showing 10C higher temps for CPU than AI Suite. Is there something else I should be using?

I used linx for my old lynnfield. Is that still good, or is this Haswell Aida better?

I tried to overclock my 4770K, but it seems to be pretty difficult. Even if I only change one setting --> sync all cores (so that they all boost to 3.9 Ghz) I'm already getting Blue Screens in BF3 and F1 2012!!! I have stress tested the memory and the CPU with OCCT and AID64 with no problem. But even with this tiny change of syncing all cores it won't hold. I did monitor the temps of the CPU and it never went over 65C. I do have 6 drives connected to the motherboard, don't know if that impacts the overclock? BSOD I get is the famous 124 one.
I also let the Asus AI 3 Suite overclock the system for me, and it set it at 4.3 Ghz, but that's really not stable. In game I get the same BSOD and in AID64 and OCCT it gets too warm because of the Adaptive Voltage.

[Jodiuh]

124 is RAM IIRC.

[nossy23]

124 is RAM IIRC.

I thought it was not enough/too much voltage for the CPU or mobo? Any way to solve this?

[Jodiuh]

Actually, you may be right. Sorry!

edit:

So I'm seeing between 68C and 72C in Core Temp and AIDA64 w/ a top voltage of 1.264 and a turbo of 3.8Ghz...all stock settings for the 4670K. Does that seem about right for a Venomous X and a 1200 RPM Scythe SFLEX E?
