How long to run burn-in

[silent bob]

I recently started my burn in(5:45 pm ) to try to get my 700 duron to 950 how long is good I hear some people go for 2 hours and others for 2 days what do you guy do I am going to run this one for 24 hours or so .... going 4 hours now

Id go for 24h straight. What mobo/hsf/voltage are you using. Just curious.

I usually go overnight (about 8 hrs or so) running distributed.net client or cpustability test. I've run prime95 before but imho it doesn't stress the cpu as much as the distributed.net client.

i usually burn a few cd's, watch a dvd or 2, play some cs and that usually works pretty good. I would think 4-10 hrs would be enough, but with me i like to do things pretty thorough.

Say you have a 1.2 t-bird and you let it run for a few days. Then I wanted to lower the multiplier to 9 and raise the fsb to 133, that would bring me to 1.2. Once I find a good stable overclock such as 10x140 or something when should I do the burn in? At 10x140. What if I want to overclock more?

[silent bob]

i let the SiSoft run for 24 hours and recorded the temps . They went as high as 48 c (6:38 am ,mon) it started at 40c(5:45 p.m. sun ) just because the voltage is up to 1.888 @ 875 on A7v. at 4:41pm it was back to 43c so how low , will it get 40c? or will it go lower than 40c? I think I am going to let it go for one more day i will post results


thanks all ........oh I just bought super orb from local puter show and bay cooler NO ARTIC SILVER that white cheap **** for now that comes with the orb

[KaHNZa]

no offense, but it pains me to hear when someone gets a SuperOrb. Because thy are some of the most pitiful heatsinks you can buy.

i also have a duron 700 and ive got it up to 875 and it working fine i want to get a cpu test program can any body recamend one that will stress the cpu alot

did you actually read any of the messages in this thread? We suggest a couple right there that are great to use. SETI, distributed.net client, sisoft sandra, go to http://ww.tweakfiles.com and have a look around or go to http://www.google.com and do a search for these apps. Please, next time do a little reading before asking a really redundant question.

I apologize for my tone here, but I'm having a really bad day.

Without a doubt, the program that will stress a socket A T-bird or Duron is burnk6.exe, which is a program within the suite contained in cpuburn2. This is recommended by Swiftech. It will get your core up to temp in a matter of minutes and hold it there. Here is the download URL:

Temps down to 38c!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEHAA (full load 52 hours SiSoft )Here i Come 1 gig by the end of the week
Thanks all

oh....... thats with The Super Orb I think it kicks ass . How much does Artic Silver drop the temp as opposed to that cheap white stuff that came with it
(the orb)

[-inox-]

i read got a bit off stuff but every body recammends diffent stuff and i allrady got sisoft an 3d bench mark i just wanted more and harder !!!

thanks for the progs any way

silentbob,
heard after your burn in you clocked 975 without a problem. Are you going to try another burn in at 975 and then clock any higher?

[silent bob]

rob
Going to try to get voltages down cuz 41c is ok if it is under load but that is idle temp and its not where I want to be . I know you use Artic Silver ( from reading in the older forums... hint hint newbies )How much did that lower your temps or did you just start with Artic Silver like I should have?
Why does my bios show my cpu fan at 13656 and Asus Probe3.27 shows a speed of 6305 oh I have the Super Orb , it is very loud , that, right now is the only drawback that I see
