I need some advice please!!
I just built a new rig comprising of a Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H, 3770K, 16gb Corsair LP Vengeance RAM and a Thermalright Silver Arrow Cooler. I OC'd to 4.5ghz and ramped up the memory speed to 1600mhz from 1333mhz.
I ran Intel Burn Test for almost 13 hours overnight and the highest any of the cores got to was 84 degrees, and the average was between 76 to 79 degrees.
What I am asking is, is that a long enough testing period to guarantee my OC is stable? I am new to this and would appreciate any advice offered!! Would running Mem Test overnight be a worthwhile exercise?
Also, I am not what you would call a HEAVY gamer i.e. I do like the latest FPS games but do not play them for hours on end etc, and would only describe myself as a casual gamer. I am hoping that as I did not experience a BSOD or a complete lockup within the time frame, everything is good, and I should not have any issues?
Many thanks to anyone who can advise me with this?
