Till its done. It has a maximum setting. Make sure you set everything to max and all threads.

Or OCCT with the linpack option enabled.

Max? Damn. I figured high was enough... CPU-z shows it's running at full capacity already. But I'll stop and do max...

jed · Dec 14, 2012, 06:51 PM

Says I can't run on Max because I don't have enough available RAM. I'll go for very high...

If it doesn't pass Prime95 theres a 90% chance it won't run Intel Burn.

It can run Bf3 all day because BF3 only stresses a CPU up to 60%, not full 100% like stress tests do.

I'm running her on very high for Intel burn and I'm comfortable with that for now. All I do is game and browse.

Just monitor temps. Intel Burn will shoot the temps higher then Prime95 will

What are you setting right now?

Mate,

CPU Test 14: 21x200 (4200), 1.36v. P95 Blend - 12:35 to 1:35 PM max temp 47C. Intel BT on High - 5 passes, max 46 C/61.5W. Intel Burn 10 passes at Very High - 47 C, 62.2 W.

Just got back from a Carrie Underwood concert. Can you say "HAWT"?

eidairaman1 · Dec 15, 2012, 09:59 PM

so youre telling me the intel burn software runs right on the AMD setup (with all the crap about most software being optimized for intel only, makes me wonder if this software doesnt push either Intel or AMD to the max temperature, or makes one appear lower than the other etc aka not getting the max burn.)

jed · Dec 17, 2012, 06:08 PM

Been doing some more tests, check the first post. So far I can hit 23x200 (4600) at 1.4875v and get IBT on Vhigh through 10 passes (haven't tried more). P95 still gives me a couple errors on a couple select cores but the majority passes.

How many volts can these things take? I'm afraid to move past the 1.5+ mark, just for the sake of intimidation. I've never moved that high in CPU volts before. Any input is welcome.

Irony · Dec 17, 2012, 08:55 PM

Ive seen some in reveiws and such on 1.6 and higher. I cant find any official max volts, or temps. So ive just been going by phenom 2 guidelines, 1.55v and 62c.

You can probably go a touch higher though, I ran my 1090t on 1.62 for a while, and cdawall has a phenom x4 I believe that he's run at 4.9ghz and 1.7+ volts.

So Its totally up to your comfort zone
