i7 2600k 4.9ghz 1.37V Prime 95 questions (On water)

[Chaney579]

My system as specified in my sig is currently running at 4.9ghz at 1.37V and i have Prime 95 DL'ed. I just dont know what test and settings i need to be running at. Can someone tell me what test and how to get to it from each tab as well as what settings and how long to run it at. Its all so confusing xD! But if anybody is asking all i did was touch the Voltages and then the multi. If yall have any pointers on how to keep this stables as well within the ROG bios that the Maximus IV has please let me know as im open to anything ! Seems to be stable as it idles at 28C and only goes to about 51C under gaming load, just want to make sure with a stress test.

All I did was open up prime95 and run the Blend test, which is the default one. That is all you really need to run. I ran it for about 10 hours with no errors. Most people suggest running prime95 for 24 hours.

small for the cpu and blend for the ram with prime mate.

you want to run all the benchmarks in the cpu section of hwbot and join the oc3d bench team too dude

just saying

Also use GPU tracker and do some f@h to test stability instead of Prime95.

Ahh thank you very much!

Ahh 10 hours sounds good enough for me, the thing is never on over 5 anyways xD! So just hit test and select blend? And how will i see an error? Will it say in prime 95 there is an error or will it just Blue Screen? lolol As well as what information is it actually giving me on the 8 threads? While its running

I have been wanting to do some F@H since i started the build! Just need to invest in some dust filters for this thing before i start leaving it all on 24/7! About 9-12 hours a week has this thing riddled with a small layer of dust, even with cleaning every 3-4 weeks!

The small prime95 icon will turn red and the error will show up on the window.
