AIDA64 - How long to test for?

[Zac Lloyd-Jones]

Hi everyone.

Just giving my 4670K a bit of an overclocking. Currently running at 4.4GHz @ 1.25v. How long to I need to run a stress test on AIDA64 to find out if its stable or not?

Thanks

8-12 hours

A good indication of "probably stable" is completing 10 passes of Intel Burn Test on "very high" without error (don't do maximum, it will take forever if you have lots of memory). 10 passes of IBT on very high will only take a few minutes and is generally regarded as being more demanding than Prime95. Any serious errors will show up in this time. Afterwards, run Prime95 overnight for at least 8 hours.

Thanks again Pinheadd. I'll try that one day when I feel I need more oomph out of my computer
