i7 920 Overclocked Stress Test Run in Prime95

[Brian Archibald]

So I did the above, had the CPU clocked the 3.33 ghz and the Turbo V software raised the voltage to around 1.32 or somewhere in that area and I decided to turn it down to 1.22. No blue screen or anything, ran a couple games just fine. But I decided to do a stability test and checked AI Suite to monitor the voltage, temp, and fans and it said the CPU fan was at 0 RPM. Maybe I'm not doing something right, I'm not positive, but I stopped the stress test and restarted the system and the fan was shown as running just fine on all my hardware monitors. Is this normal or what?

It's not normal that your CPU fan stops, no. But it could have just been a error with the reporting or the pgm reading the speed. Did you look at the fan to see if it had indeed stopped?
