Not saying it is not just asking.

My system is Intel i9 14900k and RTX 4090 plus a good amount of fans and a AIO.

Reason I ask is because last time I did a Power test, I think it is called, that testing power supply and mobo it used like 900 to 950 VA watts. I had a 1200 watt power supply but had to replace it. Replaced it with a 1000 watt power supply. Worried if the test uses 900 to 950 VA watts again it will damage my new power supply. Do I have a reason to be worried ?

Hi, just a quick question as I recently built a new PC (7800x3d / 4080s): should I use OCCT to stress test components?

I just had a blue screen a few months ago which didn't happen again, so I don't really have too much reason to stress test (no overclocking either) but I was wondering if you still used it for good practice.

Hello, I have a few questions about OCCT as a stability test. How reliable are these tests? I was testing my GPU overclock using the 3D Adaptive "extreme" test, testing various overclocks. I set +200 on core clock and +1500 on memory clock in MSI Afterburner. Other benchmarks and games were always stable but as soon as I ran the OCCT test it showed me a lot of errors. So I decreased core clock to +150 and left memory clock at +2000 and let it run for another half hour. This time I had no errors. Does this mean that my first overclock despite being stable in games was indeed NOT stable? And does that mean that my second overclock now should be in fact stable as there were no errors?

I found a 1080ti for a pretty good price of $130, albeit the seller mentioned that the VRAM is bugged in the 1080ti but underclocking it by -700mhz prevents all the bugs. Would OCCT for 1 hour be a good stress test to check that the card is stable? The seller did other benchmarks like Furmark and 3DMark and they seem good, but I'd still like to test OCCT.

I can run this for 12 hours but prime95 crashes the pc after not even a minute. Since I basically just game I haven't had any issues with this oc yet. Do you think this can be counted as 'stable' when I'll never hit the insane current and general power draw of something like prime95 because it's literally just for games and web browsing? Or do you think everything has to pass hours of prime95 small FFTs? What requirements do you think are appropriate for for which usecase?

New to overclocking, got asus prime z390 + 9700kf recently and followed this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD1Ze80GpLo guide to a t and then got about 4k errors in less than 2 minutes before pc went into blue screen. Is there might be some problem on my part or this test is just garbage?

Is occt memtest accurate? It show no error after 30 mins of CPU + linpack + mem + GPU but windows resource monitor show a lot of mem hard faults some times even 300/s I'm running a cheap ahh whitelabel b550m, 5700g with pbo enabled and soc tension on 1125mv, 2 sticks of patriot viper 3200mhz cl18 overclocked to 3800 cl20 also overclocking my igpu to 2200mhz with 1200mv

edit: also sorry if I said something dumb it's my first time getting this deep into overclocking

Can someone please explain why am I crashing on the CPU test with small dataset with all cores no matter the LLC and voltage?

Started to manually tune my r7 5700x, getting to 4.8GHz, no BSODs, games running, cinebench results (R23) satisfying at around 16500, so once I started decreasing voltage I'm now down to 1.3v drooping to 1.275-1.28v (LLC lv3) and it's passing everything except all core small dataset stress test.. Currently cycling cores with small dataset for 10 mins now, no errors so far. LLC LV2 with 1.325 set voltage gave 1.269 in cinebench but it crashed, 1.3 with llc 3 gives 1.275 and its not crashing.

So am I supposed to make it droop more? Or is it okay to just use small data set for single core and cycle them and use all core for medium/large dataset test?

Set parameters are small/extreme/variable/AVX2.

Motherboard I'm using is ASUS X470 prime pro, cooling the CPU with NH D15

I assume it shutdowns on account of thermals, since I can start the test with 8 threads fixed but once it reports close to 95° it just shuts down.

Is that a realistic workload, if thermals are the only problem and I KNOW I will never hammer the CPU with such a workload in real life, is it fine to ignore that test, or just to test up to a certain amount of cores?

How long to run occt test or any kind of stress test. If pc passes occt, can it be confirm that there are no errors on the specific component

I wanna know how much time i should run an stability test, I passed the 3 minutes stability test

I'm running some benchmarks in OCCT and in the first, it has too many error. In the second test, I increase the voltages and no errors where found in the 1 hour test. In the last test, I only did it to sure that the last test is correct, so I only put 30 minutes into it. It runs fine until the very last minute when it starts showing errors.

Hello

I´m suspecting i saw a artifact once and i´m wondering if i could fully test my gpu artifacts

Is occt safe and reliable for this?

If not , what else i can test for artifacts?

Is it mainly a vram issue or could it be something else?

Thank you

I always crash in occt. Please help

Considering getting this for the stability checks it can do on all the systems. Is it good?

I've spent the last few days trying to dial in an overclock for my maximus hero/8700k system. I've been using OCCT to test stability while running the latest beta version of hwinfo64.

I don't believe I won the lottery so I've been trying for a stable 4.9 all core overclock at reasonable voltages. I can consistently pass cinebench and realbench and dont seem to have any issues in aida64 at around 1.3 vcore. When using OCCT, however, I get errors within the first 10 minutes. I increased vcore to 1.34 (which I feel is quite high) and was able to pass an hour of OCCT with no errors. I turned on xmp and now I get errors within 10 minutes again. I'm using g.skill ripjaws CL14 3200 ram and I've left vccio and vccsa on auto for the time being.

Should I just stop using OCCT and go for stability on the other tests?

Here is a picture of my hwinfo and coretemp following my most recent error in OCCT.

Anyone tried using OCCT for stress test? Lately, my pc has been encountering sudden crashes, restarts while gaming and no signal. I tried running Furmark and Heaven benchmark. There are times that my pc crashes when doing a stress test in Furmark but not in Heaven benchmark. Now, I read in a different subreddit about OCCT and tried using it. For several times, I tried stress/stability testing on my CPU, Memory and GPU. All have normal tempts and I haven't encountered a single issue. But when I tried the Power Configuratiom, my pc immediately shuts down/ restarts once hitting start. Now, how reliable is this OCCT? And can I now use it as basis to pinpoint the problem on my pc? This has been stressing me out for several weeks and I can't even use my pc properly for gaming. Because of the several different issues, I can't exactly tell which hardware is the problem. I already updated my gpu with the latest drivers, reseated the RAMs and used the different slots. Temps are normal for cpu and gpu. For context, here is my setup:

• R5 5600 • RX 5600xt • Asus Tuf B540m plus • CM 550w mve v2 • Fury Beast 2x8gb ddr4 3200mhz
