[SOLVED] What stress test is safe with a Haswell CPU?

[box o rocks]

Does Intel Burn Test suffer the same issues with Haswells as Prime 95 does?

For every generation of Intel's processor you'd need to source a particular version of Intel's BT or P95 otherwise you see an error in your readings and/or you get absurd temps/numbers.

Which Haswell do you have? If you've overclocked on it, please make sure you've got ample airflow in your chassis.

Never used Burn Test I pretty much always use Prime 95. It's old but it works and it's what I know.

I have a i7-4770 (non-K). No OC obviously. As to IBT, I don't think they have ever had a version update, have they? I have ver 2.54 and that has not changed in years.
The CPU is used and runs fine, but seems to run hotter than I expected. So I wanted to run a stress test to see if it passed and temps stayed withing reason.

Yeah, but as I remember, I have to use an older version for it to be safe with Haswells and I forgot which version.

I thought that was just for info. Does it have a serious stress test?

Yeah
You can search on youtube if you are skeptical
