I vaguely recall one video where Wendell has mentioned that overclocked CPUs should run this whatever software/procedure to check errors, since despite overclocking looks successful and passes stress tests, they could still be throwing out errors that ultimately hinders performance of the system overall.
I just cant figure out which video he mentioned this and I do not recall the exact details.
Can someone help me figure out what this software/procedure is?
Or did I hear something wrong, and I dont have to worry about such "mysterious errors" as long as I pass stress tests?
I have overclocked my CPU a while ago, and I passed stress tests, both mentioned and not mentioned here.
Overclock is stable, at least from what I can see.
I was just asking since I happened to recall Wendell mentioning something that is not used often by overclockers because most settle with passing stress test as a successful overclock. Also, from what I can recall, some overclocks, despite clock speed is maintained and it is not crashing the rig, will constantly report micro errors that will hurt performance.
As I said, it is just something I am recalling off of random memory. So it may not be true.
So, at least from what I can deduce from the two replies to this topic, passing stress test = successful overclock? And I do not have to worry about it?
Asus Realbench I think, it does photo/video work and then all of them at the same time. its not quite as stressful as prime95, but it puts a load on the entire system instead of just the cpu. it uses open source stuffs like blender/gimp/luxmark for the testing.
