Hello I just made my rig I'm using ...
i5-4690k
DH-14 Noctua
z97-a asus mobo
2x4 ddr3 gskill sniper ram 1866 freq
I oc'd to 4.5 ghz at 1.25v while setting up xmp profile for my ram. My temps on HWmonitor for all cores was about a 72c max (for both IBT and p95) and it passed 10 IBT tests on very high and another 10 passes on maximum.
However, when I used p95 blend, I would get a BSOD at around 4 hours into the test. I upped my voltage to 1.257v to see if it would change anything but still BSOD BCCODE 124 4 hours into the test.
I googled a bit and found that p95 doesn't work too well with haswell chips....is this valid? If so, should I run aida64 instead and rely on that information? I'm concerned somewhat with the longterm stability of my rig because I'm a pretty hardcore gamer and sometimes do 10+ hours gaming.
I understand that these are synthetic stress tests aka my computer will most likely never be this stressed using real life applications, but I feel that a bsod only 4 hours of p95 blend is really really something to worry about in terms of stability.
Please pass some wisdom my way!!
I'm not trying to lower the freq of my ram btw. I will stick to using the xmp profile for my ram.
I've considered lowering my cache ratio by 3-5 compared to my oc multiplier. I really want to get at least 4.5ghz on 1.25v which I heard from many haswell users that this is easily possible. So what do you guys suggest?
EDIT: I'm trying to use aida64 but never used it before. I did a 10min test with just cache stress and ran it stable for 10 min and now I'm about to run the fpu test.
