Title: Stability testing OC'd Cards on PCIe x1 extenders/slots
Post by: bitlane on August 25, 2011, 04:30:31 AM
Like the topic says... Stability testing Cards on PCIe x1 extenders....

It's not like I can run a 'Graphics' oriented program to stability test an overclock (can I ?), so what does everyone else do ?

Is there something like a prime95 or IntelTestBurn/LinPack for Video Cards ? something NON-graphical ? Command Line perhaps ?

Cheers,
Allan

You mean like Furmark or MSI Kombustor?

all I normally do is run the miner and keep upping the clock speed untill I get a lockup, after the restart put the clocks slightly lower than that. Then keep an eye on it, if i get any lockups or connection problems I reduce the clocks untill everything is stable
