You need at least one of those monitoring software installed.

geee, thanks but do i need to run some software listed there during primming with this occt?

Hmmm.. As far as I know, you must have the software(listed in the drop down menu) installed. Choose the software, and run OCCT. It will automatically run the monitoring software chosen by user.

EDIT: Oh ya, one reminder here, DO NOT turn off the monitoring software while priming. Else, it will pop up message and end the test.

I'd say that Prime 95 is the best.....,besides that...,i also leave my rig on for days sometimes if i'm torrenting so that's quite the stress test as well.....

The weird part is, all of these stress test passed for 2 hours with priority 10. But somehow when I do folding + load msn, it crashed(right the minute msn signed it). I have no idea why.

So... How am I suppose to test my oc stability? A bit frust.

2 hours mean nothing la bro
atleast 8hrs or more(better)..

ive experienced running orthos almost 6hrs b4 it failed me

Priority 10 wor.. Furthermore after that test I run another test with priority 8 and 7(dual prime) + multitasking. At that time, also nothing happened.
Before this, I run with priority 1 up to 12 hours almost everyday with different settings, no crash, nothing, so now try with priority 10 lo. You try it also lo.
Usually priority 10 will fail me within an hour if my settings not stable.

EDIT: btw, priority 6/7/8 also tried before.. Nothing happened..

that is overclock all about. some ppl able to passed all those primming thinggy but in daily simple task operation, sometimes having difficulty.

since primming only stress the processor, why doncha run some graphic benchmark coz u also overclock ur graphic card?

Ran it before. Same crazy results turned out. Passed 3DMark05 and 06, failed 03.
All these results gave me one conclusion, confused.

I thought priming stress the CPU even more with calculations, no?

Cannot download already

HERE

Prime 95 would be the best... run it for days for checking on stability

how bout gaming... I play games like COH, LOTR: Rise of the witch king, Gothic 3... like 6 hours per day... 1 in the morning and 5 at nite... my younger bro play during noon for like 6 hours... no crashes, no jumps, no lags...

talking abt stress , i once tried running UT 2003 with 80+ bots , my PC lags like running a slide show . my PC failed after running for about 30 min , that was some time ago but i still got the screen shot . lol

* the rag dolls physics starting to act strangely after the 50th+ bot joined the game .

how about run orthos (dualcore) 8 hours? is it stress cpu enough?

do, u really stress ur comp that much... kasihan.. depreciate o... not worth lo. ^^

Yes thats the best way to show real stability. I do that too as the PC was prime stable for 7 hours and atitool artifact free for 2 hours, started F.E.A.R for 5 mins also hang and artifacts here and there. Now tuned to fit games.

I know that running dual 32M priming for my system is not a problem and it would pass. And that only stresses the cpu, mobo and perhaps some RAM. I also overclock my VGA, so this is what I did. Open up World of Warcraft or Need For Speed Carbon and play at your normal VGA settings. Run 1 set of 32M Prime at the background.

When I did that, after some time like 30 mins, the game just dropped me back out to the desktop. So, I just set it down to 3.6GHz and it works or raise the vcore of the CPU slightly more for it to be totally stable.

how to run multiple prime95? any setting for toast? how do these software report of any errors? any website guiding the usage of these softwares..

Have two folders of Prime95. Run both. Then set affinity of each process to each processor you have.
