RE III - Frankie

Hello. I think I have the hang of overclocking now. Does anyone know of any programs I could use to test my beasty setup? I'd have a look around, but thought I'd check here first. Perhaps you guys know what would be a good program to use with the following specs:

Core2Duo E7300 - 2.66 @ 3.5GHz
FSB @ 1400MHz 10.0x Multiplier unlinked from Ram
Voltages -
Stock -VCore - 1.2V, NB - 1.2V, VTT - 1.13V
OCD-VCore - 1.48V, NB - 1.45V, VTT - 1.30V.
Temps: Real - 63c (Loaded) - Max Heat - Prime95
Temps: Core - 58c (Loaded) - Max Heat - Prime95
Temps: Idle (Core) - 40c
Temps: Windows Apps (Core) - 46c
Roomtemp - 74 - 78 degrees f

3 120mm Thermaltake adjustable speed, case fans
1 intake on 9800GTX+ @ 2200RPM - 4000RPM
1 on Xigmatek HDT Heatsink @ 2500RPM
1 exhaust @ 2500RPM

System Specs:

Intel Core2Duo E7300
GeForce 9800GTX+
4GB Kingston DDR2
WDC 750GB Hybrid
SuperFlower TwinPowersupply Chassis (Black)
SuperFlower 550W PSU
ZBoard
Wireless Optical Mouse2000

Prime95, OCCT are 2 I use when overclocking.

IntelBurnTest v1.6

tread lightly, do not "set and forget"

RE III - Frankie

Got them. Thanks. Does anyone know of any 3d apps that run and display the system's temps at the same time?

Just Learnin'

Not sure what exactly it is you want but for GFX card testing FurMark displays the cards temps while running: FurMark: Graphics Card Stability and Stress Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net

Also OCCT BETA has the GFX card temp displayed while running it's GPU tests. http://www.ocbase.com/download.php?fileext=beta

Quote:

5 Tests <LI itxtvisited="1">CPU OCCT : The classical OCCT CPU tests. The modes "CPU, RAM, and Mix" have been renamed to match more closely their roles to "Low, Medium and Large data sets". <LI itxtvisited="1">Linpack : The very same test that Intel Burn Test, based on an Intel library, that will make your CPU hotter than never before. <LI itxtvisited="1">GPU 3D : OCCT GPU, a home-made 3d program that will make your GPU hotter than anything else (even furmark), and sports an error-checking mode just as ATITool. <LI itxtvisited="1">GPU Memtest : A GPU memory memtest based on CUDA. Very useful as well, but in practice, it is better at detecting manufacturing errors, and not overclocking errors. Power Supply : This test is actually Linpack combined with OCCT GPU. It aims at loading your power supply, and results shows that it uses 20% more power than Crysis and 25% than 3dmark BEWARE, THIS TEST IS REALLY HARD ON YOUR POWER SUPPLY, IT COULD MELT IT EASILY ! DO NOT USE IT IF YOU HAVE A "NO NAME" POWER SUPPLY !

I always run CPUID HWmonitor in the background it works with almost everything and displays all your system temps. Works with everything but OCCT because OCCT uses CPUID for temps itself

Those programs sound really cool. I'll head over to those sites in a minute. Just got catch some sleep then some Dead Space first. Thanks

Mac Daddy

I haven't had a chance to check Dead Space out yet enjoy and always remember you can run HWmonitor in the background irregardless of the benchmark proggy you are running

Thanks I will.

Furmark's extreme burning mode is fantastic for testing GPU's. Put 8xAA on and it'll kill any unstable card

Mike

RE III - Frankie

Ok. I'll check it out. Thankyou.

GigaWatt

RivaTuner also has a temp meter capability (not just for the GFX card, but for the whole system as well )... you just have to set the program the right way...

here is the download link: RivaTuner v2.22 download from Guru3D.com

i'm using RivaTuner as my default CPU, GFX, HDD, System temp meter

It is good I finally broke 70C on my 4870 running this in a new case I am testing. First time I could get it hotter than 70C ... yes I am a sick puppy

I ran Furmark for my GPU and I was getting 70+ on standard clocks.

Mac Daddy

System back in the Tempest case 4870 @ 840/1100 can't get it over 68C using FUR @ 8xAA using auto fan.

Try upping your CPU clock.

Mac Daddy

That won't have an affect with this test Bro but have run this with CPU @1.45V (442x7) never over 68C on GPU.

Ok. Maybe try runnign two cards or turn down some fans? idk

Mac Daddy

Not sure here either but isn't a bad thing I always test things to the max. So far this Diamond Viper HD4870 is the only card I haven't had to change the cooler on or use manual fan O/Cing

I've never successfully OCD my graphics card. Last time I tried I ruined my SLI setup. The cards just became unstable. I was really disappointed. I have a 9800GTX+ now. I'm planning on getting a second plus a Core2 Extreme CPU. Hopefully just OCing the CPU for me will be the right amount.
