I don't know if this is the right place to post but i figured stress testing is usually a product of stable overclocks.
Right so the problem i am having at the moment is this. I am in the process of overclocking my 7850 2gb (gigabyte) and im using trixx to unlock voltage. Now with this i can set my core to 1200 and mem clock to 1450 and pass furmark tests easily.
However as soon as i go to game at anything over 1060 i get a red screen freeze straight away. Ive played with all voltage, mem clock and core clock combinations possible above my max (1060/1400/1.18v) but all get a reset of drivers or a red freeze screen.
My little gripe is this. My FX6300 can o/c to 4.6 and pass intel burn or Prime 95 with albeit high temps (65ish) but get no errors, but yet again try to play a game or rip a blu-ray to mp4 and i get a BSOD after a minute.
Why would it be that stress tests don't stress my components to failure? I would like to be able to define a point where my system is becoming unstable, but it makes it hard when so called "Stress Tests" define everything as stable, but then as soon as i go to game of do heavy work like video encoding it fails miserably.
Does anyone have any suggestion as to why this is the case ( all cpu stress tests i have only push core and clock to 80%) and why would heaven/3dmark11/Furmark run but games won't?
Sorry for multiple threads on this whole overclock/stress testing scenario, its just pretty hard to get a straight answer. Most people even after reading most threads just tell me to use intel burn and Furmark. Sorry for my frustration im just trying to find out why my card is hitting a wall at 1060 even with voltage unlocked. Is it a problem with gigabyte Bios or are all these stress tests rubbish?
