stress testing

[tman1470]

does anybody have a link to intel burn test or something better

I personally use Pirme95 for stress testing.

Protip: Google

IBT is great for generating heat, and doing very quick tests to see if your system is basically stable.

Prime95 is better for long term stability.

Use Prime95 for about 12 hour to ensure stability.

Typically, IBT can generate a couple of degrees higher temperatures than Prime, so if you are just wanting to see maximum possible temperatures then IBT for about 10 runs on maximum is a good measure.

As PingPang said though...it would have been far less effort for you to just google intel burn test

Thanks. Did try google but got some dodgy sites and was'nt to sure

What cooler do you have?
And have you done that through Asus Ai Suite? Or BIOS?

Is your RAM's still running at stock? Enable XMP to make it run at 1600MHz (will be shown as 800MHz on CPU-Z)

Im a big fan of OCCT. Has Linpak as well as the traditional stress testing. Plus it monitors all your stuff like CPU temps, voltage and all that all in one nice handy package. Its the only one I use nowadays.

It should be an option in your UEFI, near the other memory settings. I don't have your board and i've never used an ASUS UEFI, so I can't really help you with that.
