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?
4k errors in less than 2 minutes before pc went into blue screen
Sounds like it's working perfectly.
It's a great stress test that finds instability quickly.
OCCT is strict AF. Like tougher-than-Prime95 strict! If it's throwing errors, you're not quite up to it's super-high stability standard. If it's throwing blue-screens, you're WAY off.

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?
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?
