I just ran a 24 hours stress test on my cpu after I had overclocked it, everything was fine but when I stopped the test I didnt know that you were supposed to hit esc and then click stop.
So I just clicked the X and closed it, and then closed it from my task manager since I could see that my cpu load was still 100%.
But then i didnt see in the end if there were any errors or warnings.
So should I run the test again and then close it the proper way, to see if there is any errors or warnings?

Thanks, I've gone through the "result.txt", and all of the test were succesful :)

Thanks for you'r reply :)

But I've found out that I didn't have any errors or warnings, since someone told me i could look in the "result.txt".

Also I'm new to overclocking and Prime95, so I just used the settings from this video
(not the same overclock settings but Prime95 settings).

So would you say that I could be sure that it is stable after I've run the test with the settings from the video for 24 hours?
Or should I run a ram test too, or something like that?

YouTube videos are generally a bad place to look as the creators pick arbitrary values. They don't explain how clock speed relates to VCORE which in turn relates to heat. They pick numbers that will work in 99% of cases and leave it at that.

In the above video, the creator overclocked to 4.5 Ghz with a 1.25 VCORE, but your CPU, even if it's exactly the same, may need a completely different VCORE. You could be setting the VCORE much higher than you need to and in turn creating unnecessary heat. Unless I missed it, the creator also failed to mention which CPU cooler they were using.

By the sounds of it, your overclock is running fine assuming the temperature is within tolerance. All I'm saying is that you could get better results by spending time learning how to overclock rather than following someone's else overclock to the letter. You'll also be able to diagnose and fix issues that may arise due to the overclock.

Der8auer, is one of the top overclockers in the world. His guides are better then most.

There is a second test on this page, https://overclocking.guide/stability-testing-with-prime-95/

This second test isn't in the video.

If this second test is the test that you ran, then I would say you can be confident in your over clock.

As mentioned an eye must be kept on heat, especially when 8k is running.

I did spend alot of time on tweaking the voltages and stuff outside his tutorial, that's why I said I followed his Prime95 settings, and not his overclock settings.
