Question About Burn in

[Lazlo Panaflex]

Does a burn in have to be continous for it to work right? I burned in through the night then my mom woke me up and said the power was out so i had to start again this morning :( Was that whole night wasted or did it have some kind of affect on the cpu?

Well I would say it would be a better burn if it were for like 24 hours straight instead of like 12 then 12 again thst is just my opinion.

I normally try to burn for like 48 or 72 hour's maybe longer.

how much does burn in really help?

I think that it really may depend on the chip itself. Many people say that they can get up a 200mhz more OC from burning, but then again some dont get anything.

after tryin it on my cpu i thought it was bs but i've noticed that my radeon 8500 after being oced for abour 6 mons can now oc a lil bit more and run abou the same temp ... could be the placebo effect who knows? but it can't hurt to try

thanks for the response but i know this... I need to know weather a cpu is burned in over time or if it has to be all at once for a long period of time. Did the time i spent burning in my cpu have an affect on it? Or was it wasted the moment the power went out?

...just set it up again, and run it continuously...

...wont hurt it...
