Instability on stock?

[Jawd000]

So I’m running a i7 6700k and realbench says “instability detected” even though I have it @ stock speeds right now. I’ve tried a different cpu, motherboard, PSU, graphics card, so pretty much everything even swapped the modular cable for cpu and the atx cable with no success. At this point I’m thinking about the hard drive being bad or something. Any suggestions?

How would the hard drive affect this? I've read similar posts, and there are some people saying that realbench isn't accurate.

I don’t know, but AIDA64 doesn’t stress the cpu enough. I ran it for an hour when I overclocked to 4.9ghz and it blue screened almost immediately in cinebench. RealBench says it’s unstable after 1 minute of stress test.

On stock?

 

[martinocko9]

yes but try something that isnt syntetic load like blender and see if you get crash

Let's start over here - what are your full system specs? Specifically:

- Make and model of motherboard and BIOS revision
- Make and model of PSU
- Make and model of GPU
- Make and model of RAM with speeds and timings

And have you tried running your rig on anything other than defaults? Have you enabled XMP or done anything in the BIOS that would alter your CPU? Have you updated your BIOS since you installed your CPU?

It was the boot drive. I’ve changed it and now it’s working properly.
