Chapter 3: Stability Testing
Congratulations! You are now running at 5.2GHz, which is nothing to scoff at. Now it’s time to
make sure that it’s stable. We’re going to use the software below to monitor our system, test
stability, and adjust our overclocks.
Prime95– This is used to stress test our CPU in order to ensure that it’s stable in the most
taxing of conditions.
CPU-Z– Used to monitor our CPU frequencies and Vcore settings.
Hwinfo64– Used to monitor idle, load, and loading temperatures.
How to Stability Test
■ Step 1: Open up CPU-Z, Hwinfo64, and Prime95. Make sure Prime95 is configured.
Click the “Small FFTs” preset, disable the AVX instructions and then press OK to start.
