>make sure to use manual cpu voltage and not adaptive mode while stress testing - especially with prime95 since this will promt the cpu to heavily increase voltage and run extremely hotīasically use AIDA 64 then, I thought there was a reason to why they advised against it. When using an adaptive vid voltage control will be automatically controlled by the iVR when a complex concurrent AVX load is initialized from Applications like Prime95 or Aida Or LinX more voltage will be supplied than has been defined/requested.'' -source Additionally this generation has a more specialized point of consideration for synthetic stress tests. However, I couldnt pass the Very High stress level for Intel Burn test without overheating. Other applications to consider are SiSoft 2013 or Passmark BurnIn. I managed to get it running fine 4.9GHZ for AIDA64 and Cinebench with temps sitting up to 85 degrees. The following programs are what I use for stress testing and all of them pass at 1.33 or lower voltage except IBT: - Prime95 v26.6 (Small FFTs and Blend mode, 6h) - Intel Burn Test (Maximum 10 runs, Very High 10 runs) - Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (30 min.
INTEL BURN TEST PASS BUT NOT AIDA64 PRO
5820k 4.7Ghz, 16GB Crucial 2400Mhz, EVGA X99 FTW, EVGA 1300 G2 PSU, GTX 770 MSI Lightning (SLI), Corsair H110i GT, Phanteks Enthoo Pro case. While it does use the CPU, its not as stressful as others. As such not only does it load the CPU 100% but will also test other parts of CPU not used under applications like Prime95. Re: Intel Burn Test Sunday, Ma2:25 PM ( ) Firestrike is also focused on GPU performance.
Aida has an advantage as it is a stability test and has been designed for the Haswell architecture and test specific functions like AES, AVX and other instruction sets that prime and like synthetics do not touch. It is also possible to individual adjust the duty cycle of each test module. Running in parallel increases system load, shortens the burn in period and helps find subtle faults. For high grade CPU/IMC and System Bus testing Aida64 is recommended along with general applications usage like PC Mark 7. All the test modules can be either run in parallel or individually. Intel and Asus suggest you use AIDA64 for Haswell stress testing.Īsus: ''Unvalidated stress tests are not advised ( such as Prime 95 or LinX or OCCT, Intel Burn Test or other comparable applications ).
