OCCT vs. PRIME95

[remotehugger]

I have read some things that OCCT is a better stress tester than Prime. Can i get some of your opinions on this. I have read that 2 hrs. OCCT is more stable than 24 hrs. Prime. Just wondering what you all think. Thanks.

Don't know. I haven't tried OCCT yet. P95 drives CPU loads to 100%. How could OCCT do better?

And the calculations? I don't know exactly how OCCT loads the CPU..

 

[overshocked]

There almost the exact same thing i just like the error checking in prime.

And im not to sure about temps. It shows OCCT takes the cpu up to 100% usage-but im at 1.44 volts 17.5x multiplier-210ht-and after 2 hours of OCCT my temps arent over 46c. i would like it to be right but it just seems a little low.

 

[overshocked]

What are you using for monitoring temps?

 

[OvrClkr]

Both programs do the same function, IMO prime95 streses out the CPU to a higher degree.... and like my friend overshocked said, it has error checking....

HSH!!!!!

 

[remotehugger]

OCCT says it has HWmonitor built in so i assume its using that-it shows temps for all three cores. And i have used HWmonitor to monitor temps before i started using OCCT.

 

[OvrClkr]

Have you used everest ultimate to check on core temps?

HSH!!!!!

Yep (=

Theyr almost the exact same thing!

 

[remotehugger]

yes i have tried Everest too. Do you guys know what the TMPIN0, TMPIN1, and TMPIN2 temps are ? I have seen that TMPIN0 is motherboard and 1 is cpu and 2 is a no contact-and i have seen 0 as cpu and 1 as NB and 2 as SB. Any clue ?

OCCT shows my CPU temps, and it does stress the CPU to 100% and provides charts after its finished.

 

[overshocked]

^ thats true, i like the charts!
LOL

 

[remotehugger]

I like the charts too-TMPIN0-TMPIN1-TMPIN2-what are they ?

 

[AKM880]

I'm pretty sure those are the temp readings

 

[OvrClkr]

Well I dont use OCCT and my temps are fairly accurrate...

I use speedfan, and a temp probes... they both show the same temps even though sometimes they are off by -1c.... but that's just me....

I use my finger temperature probe ( =

If it burns me then that means i turn down the voltage. :lol: :lol: :lol:

But srsly i use speed fan and realtemp and hw monitor.

they all show almost the exact same temp.

IMO TMPIN0-TMPIN1-TMPIN2 are wack temps that are imbeded in CPUID.... One time the TMPIN0 said it was at 107c when it really was at 54c during a torture test (prime95)

bahahahaha, yea last time i did that I had to lower voltages and get a band-aid....lol

 

[AKM880]

I like HWMonitor the best, SpeedFan reads my CPU temps wrong it shows my CPU @ 127C yet HWMonitor can see its only 29C

 

[overshocked]

HSH!!!!!

HAHHAHHA

i didnt catch that before.

HSH All the way!!!!

really?? i have never seen inaccurate temps using speedfan and I have had it since it came out....

 

[OvrClkr]

HAHHAHHA

i didnt catch that before.

HSH All the way!!!!

Yea I was waiting for you to catch it..... lol

 

[overshocked]

Yea I was waiting for you to catch it..... lol

HEHE

im gunna start soldering together today.

Check the "920 oc log" thread i had an idea.

i wanna see how u like it before i start welding. (=
