While I was Stress Testing with Prime95 I saw the Following text.
I took a picture of the text.

Could somebody explain what it means and should I be worried?

It's a tough question if you don't provide information about your CPU and motherboard and if you disabled anything in the BIOS.

 

[Leadbelly78]

Well, all of the information about the CPU, my Motherboard is in the lower right
I didn't disable anything in the BIOS. Should I??

Other than that warning, does Prime95 run without errors? Have you tried Intel Burn Test? Few people seem to run into that issue, but I found one post where increasing a voltage resolved it. I don't know about the 4770K, but for the 3770 logical CPUs 1,2 form one physical CPU, etc. If need be you can enforce that in local.txt, e.g., AffinityScramble2="01234567".

As a matter of fact, Prime95 did crash.
I might try Intel Burn Test.
I'll see if that helps.
Thanks

Are you using the latest version of P95?

I just checked today and yes I have the latest version of P95.
I might need to change the thermal Paste such as http://pcpartpicker.com/part/arctic-cooling-thermal-paste-acmx4
I think it's one of the best or http://pcpartpicker.com/part/arctic-silver-thermal-paste-as535g

 

[Leadbelly78]

After stress testing with the Intel Burn Test, I checked the Asus Maximus Vi Hero and updated the BIOS checked the Monitor and the Temps were very, very high.
So, what's the best solution?

The temp went up too 85*C..So, I shouldn't worry too much should I?

 

[GhislainG]

Nothing will make your CPU as warm as IBT.

Just wonderful, Just wonderful ( I'm being sarcastic obviously )

So...What should I do?
My Tower has eight or nine fan's.
The vents, the vent filters, the CPU heat vent doesn't have dust doesn't on it.
So, any other suggestion?
Should I add a better Thermal Pate?
A different case?
I bought, I built this system 4 months ago maybe 6 months ago.
Ugh, this is very annoying.

 

[Leadbelly78]

What about this case? http://silverstonetek.com/raven/products/index.php?model=RV04&area=en&top=C it looks amazing?
The case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119160&cm_re=haf_932-_-11-119-160-_-Product amazing too

Getting an Intel CPU at 85°C while running IBT is not really an issue unless you bought the system to run IBT 24 x 7. What cooler are you using? What voltage is applied to the CPU (too high will cause more heat)? How hot is the CPU when you run normal applications or games? Even if you had more fans it wouldn't make much difference. You didn't provide the ambient room temperature; do you keep it at 22°C or higher?

@Leadbelly78

It is normal to get very high temsp with IBT They tend to overvolt CPU ending up with very high temps same for P95.

Other alternatives are: OCCT and Aida, they are also good for stress testing the CPU but not as hard as IBT and P95 and they don't overvolt the CPU's which causes very high temps. (but I find P95 good mostly because if its unstable clock it doesnt take long till it BSODs so I can re adjust the OC settings immediately and then test again.)

just make sure you run them for 2+hours or more to really see if its stable OC with Aida or OCCT OCCT is nice too. If you get BSOD re-adjust the volts either increase if its not stable or if you get stable try to decrease little by little until you hit the lowest adjustment of the volt without it BSOD.. Because even the slightest change in volts can contribute for the chip to be stable or not and contribute to how high or low the temps in idle or under load.

After running the Stress testing, should I leave Idle for a while or not?

When you are testing your OC say stresstest using OCCT, you can leave it for a while its doing the test for an hour, 2hour 3hour etc. Until you are sure that it is stable OC. If its not stable it will BSOD, if it does BSOD just readjust the voltage and test again. I don't recommend going over 1.3 volts though for the CPU.

Well, thanks a lot.
I didn't realize that I had to leave it testing for one, two or three hours.
BT:W: I don't plan on OC my system.

You can't determine that a system is stable after stress testing it for a few minutes. I always stress test new systems for several hours (usually overnight) to make sure they are stable.

So what happens when I wake up and my system fails? I mean I don't want to rebuild the system again, well not for along time.
I should of stress tested the system when I first build it.

 

[GhislainG]

If the test fails, you'll see the errors when you wake up in the morning. Monitor it for the first 15-30 minutes and if everything seems to work fine, then just let it run overnight. If you're worried, then perform a complete backup before stress testing it. This is a computer, not a sick child that needs attention 24 x 7.

Agreed.
I mean it annoying as hell that I searched for ages trying to find the perfect setup plus plus it wasn't cheap.
Anyway, I'll test it tonight, if it stable I'll report back in the morning.
If not, you'll see a very upset guy.😱

 

[Leadbelly78]

Hey all: I just started Stress Test my system.
What kind of temperature's should I see after it finishes?
If it crashes or I get a bunch errors should I put a different thermal paste, adjust the fans, get a different stock cooler or all that I mentioned.
Anybody have any other suggestion?
Thanks in advanced

 

[GhislainG]

The temperature you see after several minutes or several hours should be very similar. Replace the heat paste only if need be or if you know you did a lousy job when it was applied and the CPU overheats. You should replace or add parts only after identifying what's wrong. Adjust the fans while you're stress testing if you see that the temperature is too hot, but the CPU will definitely get hot. The stock CPU cooler is fine if you don't overclock. Will you also stress test your video card?

I didn't plan on stress testing the GPU but if you think I should I will.
Thanks for the help.

Sorry, I meant to say a After Market stock cooler, the "Cooler Master's Hyper TX"
BTW: I've been stress testing my desktop for four or five hours, so far, no issues..yet.

 

[GhislainG]

Stress testing for 4 or 5 hours is enough. I would also stress test the GPU for 15-30 minutes because they sometimes cause issues; you should monitor it to make sure there are no artifacts when it gets hot.
