Stress Test

[Pablo 54]

Using an Asus program but it gives me no data after a crash. Anyone have a good freebie they could recommend?
I have always just used what I had on hand and went with that but I need something a bit more robust.

Overclock one piece at a time, stress test it, and if it crashes you know what the cause was.

How can you overclock a motherboard?

[PP Mguire]

Eh, who said anything about a motherboard? I figure he meant GPU and CPU so just do one piece at a time so if your PC crashes you know which part it is.

But, if we want to be technical by raising the bclk on SB and IB you are overclocking the motherboard lol.

Nobody said anything about the motherboard. But at the same time, nobody said anything about the motherboard . When you mentioned "Overclock one piece at a time, stress test it" I immediately thought of motherboard, hahaha.

And, I'm outta the loop on benching and stuff. What is the "bclk"?

I'm guessing.... bridge clock? That would make the most sense to me, although it's not really adjusted in the processor...

[PP Mguire]

BCLK is base clock. Sandy and Ivy systems use a 100MHz BCLK and if you adjust it you are messing with your PCI clock and a few other things as well. That is why they have K CPUs with unlocked multipliers so you can overclock them, otherwise everybody would be stock. SB-E happens to have a BCLK ratio changer that some how manages to raise only the BCLK on the CPU to OC to an extent (say 3820) but you are very limited.

By one piece at a time I meant stock everything out, then set an overclock and test one piece of hardware at a time that you want to overclock. It's best that way so you aren't guessing what is unstable.

The question asked is too vague.

[khangdan1992]

So if u wanna know your crash issues, use some programs such as IBT ore OCCT, it mentions why it crashed

[CDsDontBurn]

OCCT explanation is very vague and doesn't realyy explain the issue. IMO, Prime95 does a better job on that.

[PP Mguire]

IMO the simplest answer has already been given. One piece at a time until stable, then move to another piece.

yeah, but i like the diagram of OCCT, it's very scientific.

It also looks Communist Russian

nice point, but actually i don't wanna talk about Politics in a technology forums. I'm tired to hear about that everyday......

it was joke, not a political comment....
