Stress testing the 3770k

[Azurite]

I watched a youtube video with a guy from Asus. This guy is claiming that if you stresstest the IB cpu's with prime and some other programs it might damage the cpu. He also says that aida64 is the only stresstest program that fully tests and understands the IB technology. Luckely i got Aida64 extreme but ive always used prime as a main stresstest program before.

Do you guys have any info/input about this?

Edit: and this guy witch is also from Asus is using prime. Lol

i'd seen the same. the only reasons i could see were that the memory controller stress during the worker call-backs

causing crispy sockets on under-volted systems, but that kinda rides on all over-clocks. during his tests i didnt see

the RAM crunch, only the processor weighted 100%. i researched AIDA64 (ive regged it too) and hadn't found the

algorythyms to be as torturous in areas that prime, linx or occt twist as hard.

im sure dug has a line up on this topic..

I'm sorry but the more I see of these the more I consider IB a fail. There should be no program that should damage any part of a CPU (not overclocked) apart from HEAT. I dont care if a specific program does not "understand" the technology, the CPU should not be at risk no matter what it is being used.

King,

I am a network engineer and there are caveats with certain ways a protocol will run on devices. One device may not have any caveats while another may.

The caveats do not mean the product is a fail and besides it is the developers job to run tests and optimize the programs to run on cpu's not the cpu manufactures job to do that.

I understand, but I am not just talking about the program failing or the CPU failing. I am talking about the CPU being destroyed from the program.
