Intel Core i7 Overclocking Tutorial (Stability Testing)

Stability testing

Test Software

The programs used for testing are:

• MemTest86 +
• CPU-Z
• Prime95
• Real Temp

For the stability test use any of the above programs. Memtest 86 turn without your Windows startup and use the memory stability test. Prime95 can be used for the processor and memory at the same time to test.

Immediately after the launch of Windows you need to load CPU-Z. If CPU-Z shows the correct values start Prime95 and let them run with eight workers at a time. Choose the option for "maximum heat generation. Prime is particularly suited to see if the system is stable for daily use. Let prime95 fifteen minutes every time you turn to the maximum speed does have found. Turn prime95 less than an hour, but rather one or four hours to see if your system is stable.

Meanwhile, the temperatures can be monitored using Real Temp. I recommend to the temperatures 24/7-test among the 85 ~ 90 degrees and holding.
