hot ka like dat??
i thought it was normal...

Something I noticed, not sure if it affects everyone or not. But running applications or surfing in the background while running the test can actually cause it to show errors. Anyone else experience this?

i do and i think u cant run maximum stress test with 4gb of ram.
it always crash on me...

Yeah i noticed that too. I think your oc still not stable enough that way.
I did some experiments myself......

Scenario 1.
Ran 20 loops and leave it be. Passed.

Scenario 2.
Ran 20 loops and watch a movie.... BSOD!!!!

Scenario 3.
Tweaked memory abit... ran 20 loops plus a movie to go along. Passed

I have run my PC 40 loops and 60 loops of maximum stress before i go sleep this two days.All success , but then my pc is not stable. It hang occasionally. Even Othros give me random error after 3 hours, but IBT didnt give me any error even the temp is higher by 15C+.

Hmm....I've never experienced crashes or BSODS at all actually, just unmatched residuals. So makes me wonder if running programs while stressing somehow inteferes with the calculations and causes this Bcoz the voltages that i tested at had infact pass 1-2 hours of orthos, though that itself is not a confirm sign of stability i know

well if my oc is not stable its either restart or give me unmatched residual.

wah so keng meh multi-task testing... even Intel themselves don't do that..
in fact, i doubt any normal intensive usage can reach the level of this stress test, let alone multi tasking it...

well you can try what this guy did... insane fella

Hi all,
noobs here.
Here's my tries on IBT using X3320 & P45-DS3 mobo.

@3GHZ (400x7.5)
20 tests passed with flying colours.



@3.375 (450x7.5)
5 tests passed.



but,
20 tests failed. all the norm value not equal.





Seems to hit the FSB wall coz when i increase fsb to 455, BSOD when test with IBT. 460 can't even boot.

All settings beside FSB is auto, DRAM timing, DRAM divider, Vcore auto.
i'm not sure becoz of the mobo or the RAM. I'm using OCZ DDR2 6400 SLI 2 GB kit.

Will it be different if i use DDR2 8500 RAM?
any specific settings that i need to change?

I want to use at least 3.5GHz though @3GHz is happy already.

Try increase VTT or also known as FSB Termination Voltage.

@OC4/3:
will try tonight.
i think i have seen it below the vcore setting inside the bios.
thanks!

do i have to set the ram divider to 1:1?
what about the timing? default timing for my ram is 4-4-4-15 if im not mistaken. but i leave it all on auto. maybe need to tweak manually.

finally 450MHz stable. well, at least stable for 20 tests on IBT.
but have to increase vcore to 1.4v & ram voltage to 2.04v
temp reached the BIG 8 already.
anyway, which one can we trust the most? core temp or real temp?
got different reading from this two.

450MHz x 7.5 (3375 MHz) - IBT 20 tests passed!



still can't passed ibt test above 450. first test failed already.

Congrats bro

I am in the office right now, and I noticed this thread.

Surprisingly, this tool even runs on Ubuntu (via Wine)

hot weh..if i use prime only till 57c max

oh.. too hot ka?
is it applicable on mobile proc eg t7500? i just want to test what is maximum temp i could get w/o overclock bcoz i plan to run folding on my laptop.. but if so hot.. then i dont dare to do it lor

sure u can.

I got this problem too. Do you guys got this problem as well?

I am not sure this is normal or not.

i am stressing using 4gb of ram too...

n so far no problem yet...but i only stress for 5 loops nia

i know what cause it.
windows 32 bit....
it cant detect the full capacity of the ram.on my system it can only detect 3.25gb..

me too,but i try 9 loops but fail..
