Hey everyone,
What brings me here is the question whether or not we should let OCCT (overclocking Checking Tool) tells us if our system is stable or not.
Here is my case: Currently have E8400 @ 4ghz @ 1.4v BIOS (1.376v CPU-Z).
The computer is rock solid and stable AT ANYTHING. I play games for hours (CPU demanding games like GTA 4 and Prototype), I run countless loops of 3Dmark06 and Vantage, I run prime95 for hours... all stable.
Yet, it fails OCCT within minutes. Should I let this bother me?
NOTE: As I understand it, OCCT really pushes the system unlike anything else. I mean, really pushes and it seems to me that any real life application/game will NEVER push the computer this hard. Not even close.
So... Should I try to make it stable? Or just let it go? I don't really want to increase Vcore anymore.
