So for overclockers in here, what do you guys use to stress the CPU if its stable or not?
i just type this "yes > /dev/null" in terminal. like 15 terminal windows. i dont know if its an accurate way of stabilizing the overclock, but ive had no problems so far. i top out at 63C full load 4.0 GHz. i mainly use the hackintosh for video editing (8TB of HDD) which only tops around 50C when rendering videos. idling at 28C btw. varies from 26-30C depending on ambient temp.
Code:
BIOS:E758_SZ2Z
Motherboard:EVGA x58 132-BL-E758-A1
CPU:Intel Core i7 920 @ 4.0 GHz
OS:Snow Leopard 10J567:x64 Vanilla
