Orthos

[darkorb]

In orthos, i got an error, and it says check the stress file, where would that be? iv searched everywhere

i did blend test for 8 hours no errors, just did the FFt one and i got an error after 2 hours.

how can i find out the max for my ram? is 2.9v ok for 4 sticks of value? (rated at ddr400 2.6v, running at ddr450, 2.8v, 3-4-4-8 )

cpu is at 270x10, 1.47v

how do i no whats messing upP??

what else could i test for stability? F@H?

Thanks

[darkorb]

no ideas?

The file you're looking for should be in the folder where the program runs from. Also check in your documents.

Another program for stability is super pi and prime95 you can also try ntune.

I find the best stress to be real-world applications. One time I had all of my games running at once!! My page file got to about 10Gb though :lol: Another time I also was decompressing two HUGE files (just over 2Gb for both) and working in photoshop with an image that was 1280x1024 pixels per inch and it was 12"x12". That was a fun night ;-)

The file that you're looking for is called splog, it'll be in the Orthos folder along with all the program files.

The reason that FFT's crashed earlier than the blend is that FFT stresses the CPU much harder than the blend.
Blend stresses the CPU and ram together where FFT stresses mainly the CPU alone. That's why you get higher load temps under FFT and it's harder to get the system stable under them as well.
Most OC data bases require you to stress the cores under small FFT's for a certain anount of time before your OC is concidered stable. Blend just won't do it............;)

Oh, BTW, Prime95 and Orthos are basicly the same program, Orthos was made a while back to make it easier to stress dual core CPU when at the time Prime95 didn't. Prime95 (newest version) can now stress up to Quad cores last I checked.

so should i still be doing small fft or blend?

also, i didnt install orthos, i just ran it, so its not in program files

small fft went for 15 mins then failed, so i uped then it went 30 mins, 1.47v, and now ram is at 2.9v ddr450 and it went for 2.5 hours

is that ok?

blend went for 10 hours with much less volts

For CPU stability you need to run Orthos (small FFT's) for as long as you normally operate your system without rebooting (this just my opinion). After you get the CPU stable, you can run the Blend tests to get the complete system (memory included) stable.
Small FFT's is the true test if a core (CPU) is really and honestly stable, it will take more voltage to get a system stable while running this test, but then your CPU is "ACTUALLY" stable. If your rig can't pass this test, it's not 100% stable. Again, this is just my honest opinion, but I never have any issues with any of my OC's when I'm finished.

ok thanks alot, so i still got queit a bit ahead of my to get this 2.7ghz stable, ill try upping the volts 1 more time, but my temps are getting realllly high

63 load while running that

[darkorb]

yea the blend test for me is stable, but i cant get this small fft to be stable at all, 1.47v i got 2.5 hours, 1.48v stable 50 mins before fail

should i up it one more? temps rae getting pretty dam high, and my room is almost unbearable its so warm.

i was just folding, 2 instances, and started to defrag, and my comp froze half way through, more volts? what does it mean?
