#STRESS LEVEL INTEL BURN TEST HOW TO#
How to test CPU and RAM stability (summarized):
NET Framework v2.0 (minimum), can be found here.
Keep in mind, use this program at your own risk. This program will make usage of Linpack easier and more practical.
#STRESS LEVEL INTEL BURN TEST SOFTWARE#
Load temp under Linpack will be up to 22*C higher than the competing software Prime95. Linpack by Intel is an extremely stressful program that will put even the most powerful X86/X64 CPU in the world at its knees. 77C on IBT I would consider safe enough for daily use as no game I would ever play would cause it to break 70C.A program that simplifies the usage of Intel Linpack. I personally don't like 70C on any of my chips but I guess that's just me. And running the 3570k, I'd suggest staying away from 80C if possible. Even Prime95 will be around 5C cooler on the chip. Only Prime does more math and if the CPU makes a single mistake in the math prime will let you know.Īs for temperatures, with IBT you'll see higher temperatures than any game/application will ever push. I honestly will say that running 20 runs at max on eXtreme stress mode is similar to handling Prime95 for 24 hours. It's very good for finding the hottest temperatures your CPU will reach with the cooling you have and is pretty good for finding instability. (This can easily cause micro freezing such as mouse not moving or other symptoms as the system is is completely busy and even windows can not function correctly) Setting this mode and having the selector on maximum will stress your system harder than anything you ever possibly could manage to do to it. If you right click the start right click the start button in IBT you can set it to eXtreme stress mode which allows the application to dedicated all of the CPU resources that are available to the application. However it can be a good thing to help eliminate memory stability issues. The higher the level, the more ram and the processor really doesn't do all that much more work. Last but not least, the stress levels are different as they use more of the systems ram.
Temperatures budge up slightly with only multiplier increases while a voltage addition or subtraction can cause a major change in temperature. Personally, with the Ivy Bridge, I'd try a little less voltage than you're pushing to reach 4.3Ghz to see if your CPU can manage it. However, usually you're fine if it goes for 12 and isn't hot or causing errors. Prime95 on Blend mode for 24 hours is the standard "suggested" time. However, it isn't the best when it comes to finding the small instabilities that may come with an overclocked processor. IBT is GREAT for finding major instability.
