That's a quick test enough to see if there's any immediate problems with voltage or settings. If it passes the 1 hour then there's a good chance it will go forever that way or you are very close to having it down.
That & I've already run my system at 3.46GHz but with 2gigs of memory so the added noise by the 4x1Gb memory dimms required some different settings to make it stable & that was using the 5-5-5-15 timings with a bit more juice on the mem voltage.
"I also can't get any voltages in OCCT..."
That's why I use Speedfan too is so that OCCT will use those sensor readings, of course you will have to setup Speedfan first as this is the sensors to be read.
Once that's done then click the gear tab (settings) in OCCT then click monitoring.
You set that up in the Monitoring tab & choose Speedfan, then set up the voltages & temps in the pulldown menus next to the boxes.
To get the sensors in OCCT set up I run ORTHOS & leave OCCT on but not testing. Then I set Speedfan for Centigrade & match up the temps to the correct sensors readings in OCCT.
It shows ALL of the temp reading so you have to choose the right ones for what they are for.
2 readings you will have to name them yourself (custom) for the mobo & dimm temp readings. In Speedfan those temps are Internal (mobo) & Temp 3 (memory).
Once that's all done it will show you the correct current realtime readings.
Also, when you set Max
CPU Temp in OCCT this is the max temp it will go up to while testing.
IF, it goes over the temp you set there it will shut OCCT down so as not to go over the Max rated thermal for your processor
& potentially damaging it.
Edit: Ever since I change my
OC to 3.46GHz (5 days ago) its been running ROCK SOLID in XP PRO SP3 & Vista Ultimate SP1 32bit!
No crashing during games & no file corruptions of any kind either!
So...the settings & voltages above are extremely stable for my system...BUT
Now the
OC bug has faded away again I'm back to my
OC with Default
vcore so my system will have a long life.
Note: After the bios settings change I had Major Systems files corruption.
So keep that in mind with changing settings with memory timings & voltages.
This is yet another good reason to have a good backup system!!!
Because I have redundant backups I was able to set everything right within 10 minutes
using Acronis True Image.
Edit: Looks like this has nothing to do with the bios changes & more to do with the Mobo going out on me.
It's not dead yet, but it looks like it's on it's way out...RRR!
