Tested the stability of the AMS and it's OK
Hi,
I managed to run some stability tests on my new workstation and everything seems to be OK. The CPU is an E8500 overclocked at 3.8 Ghz from the stock 3.2 Ghz.
The results were:
Idle:
- System: 37 C
- CPU: 26 C
- CPU Core: 40 C
Prime 95 (5h, max CPU burn on both cores):
- System: 40 C
- CPU: 50 C
- CPU Core: 57 C
Prime 95 (5h, CPU/RAM blended test):
- System: 41 C
- CPU: 50 C
- CPU Core: 58 C
So, overall these are decent results taking into account that all the case coolers are running on low and I didn't use any special thermal compound. The results are giving me a headroom of about 10 C over the summer and this is a very good thing because I don't think I'll have to throttle the overclock to cope with the hot summer nights.
