Bro how long should I conduct this test ?

better if u can do 24/7, but it depends, for me 12 hour is enough, bcoz i use my comp 12 hour/day only plus dont want to waste electric tongue.gif

You need to test for stability..... Increase your OC slowly and check for stability each time....  wink.gif
Hey, your proc's VID is the same as mine (1.325v) but you get better vcore then mine. Mine need 1.328v (load) at 3.2 Ghz....

Same with mine.. but mine need 1.36v sweat.gif sweat.gif ...

Some possible "diagnostics" for the following scenarios under load (my unscientific findings LOL!) :

1) BSOD - Rams not stable, either timings too tight or vdimm not enough or temps too high
2) Shutdown - Vcore or voltage rail unstable, could also be excessive vdroop
3) Hang without shutdown - Could either be rams or vcore, possibly borderline case. It might mean your voltage settings are close to optimum, just need a bit more juice

Nice diagnostic u share here bro thumbup.gif ....running prime for 1 hour is not enough I think, it doesn't mean the system is stable for a couple of more hours, plus the error can came out random too...

Do you mind sharing your high temp, mine is 63 on the cold day and can up to 69 on hot day @ 3.2ghz, testing using small fft, quite hot I think sweat.gif

You are right, perhaps you should follow the advice of some OCers who leave Prime running for at least 24hrs so as to cycle through the day's ambient temps. This is good advice especially if you plan on running your rig 24/7 for folding etc.

Mine, running Prime at 1.39 vcore in Windows for 3.6GHz, typically gets around 60c for hot days and around 52c at night with the aircond running at 27c. But when the water gets hot over an extended period, I typically see an additional 4-5c on a hot day, and about 2c extra at night. My WC setup is not ideal, and the water does tend to get warm if I fully stress the PC for more than 5 hrs at a stretch, which I normally don't so no big deal. I'm a light gamer and usually don't game for more than 3 hrs at a go smile.gif

IMO 3.6GHz on my 65nm Quad is about the most stable for 24/7 based on my own experience. Last time I even used to run it on a TRUE, temps were higher but still within 70c (but then again, I almost never run my PC with the aircond turned off). Perhaps it was stable also because I had 4 Vizo 120mm fans blowing from the side and a 100CFM 120mm Gigabyte fan (which I salvaged from my 3D Galaxy II WC system) running almost at full power, sucking out the heat from within. My TRUE also had 2 Silverstones in a push-pull config. Imagine the noise pollution!

Yea, I really want it to run 24/7 stable, but the annoying noise and high temp freaking me out...

I'm able to make my processor running 3.2ghz at 1.36v, yours is good, running 3.6ghz at only 1.39v, what is your vid? I need wc if want my processor running at 3.6, the temp is already high sweat.gif sweat.gif ... I used Zalman CNPS9700NT FYI

What is TRUE? Casing? I'm using CM690 only tongue.gif , plus 2x CM 2000rpm fan(exhaust) and 3x CM 1000rpm(intake), donno what is the true cfm, but the noise is already annoying me.. I can't imagine yours.. haha

Edit: Nevermind.. already get the answer regarding of TRUE, I thought it is casing instead of hsf laugh.gif

50 rounds for IBT is to much i think, i just used with 10 loops at high memory, already good enough, stable and no problem laugh.gif

some said 10 loops equals to one hour OCCT...

Not really, coz i used occt b4 and test passed for more than 12 hour but with ibt, it failed at 1st loop sweat.gif ...

IBT stressing hard on ur processor, and it produced more heat, so my opinion no need to run longer with ibt... save time and save money laugh.gif

Try used IBT with higher memory(eg. 2Gb), it will take more time and more accurate

1.45v, very high for 3.4ghz I think, donno how they tweak for a very low voltage, may be coz my processor not a good batch or my skill suck laugh.gif

Well, many people got the same problem with 65nm processor, thats y i didnt use the mobo probe, may be bios problem, u can check at asus forum

Wah... how many q66 u have?

So from ur experience using variance q66 vid, how the performance difference?

Ic... 300mhz more is very good result, why dont u use the 3.5 setting for running 24/7, coz it is cold and the voltage is very low if compare to 3.7

For q66, the voltage range from 0.85-1.5v, better keep the lowest between these range...

How you find the best vid? Any secret? tongue.gif
