AtiTool + Orthos

[jucestain]

I'm just wondering... is it recommended to run orthos with atitool? I overclocked my cpu and gpu and when I run either program independently, they never fail. But, when I run both of them together it gives me problems. Is it wise to run them together or can I get away with running them independently. Thanks,

Weird. Usually it's the other way around for me. When running atitool, since I have orthos priority at normal low, it's not as intense (load is split almost 50/50 but coretemp isn't nearly as high as when orthos is dominating the cpu. I think on average, it might take me longer to error out with orthos when i have atitool running too, but I can't be certain of it. I can say that usually, if I error out in orthos, it's around 3hrs, 7hrs, or 13 hours. When I ran atitool+orthos, I didn't get the error until around 18 hours. It could just be random, like I mentioned in another thread. It could be a number of things, so I won't conclude it, but seeing how coretemp is lower with both, I figure it's not as hard on cpu.

Then again, I do use atitool+orthos sometimes since I'm using watercooling, and use the two to try to max heat output into my system, and see how it can deal with it.

edit: if you are having problems when running both, but know that each individually can work fine forever, maybe your psu is weak?

Doubt it... I'm using a 620HX (unless there's something wrong with it, but it seems to be ok). Anyway, I'm gonna leave it running today. I left it running for an hour on 625/950 and it failed after an hour of ATitool + Orthos (although 625/960 passed for 2 hours without fail with just atitool). Anyway, I lowered the clock to 600/900 and also lowered the overclock on my cpu down to 3.2 ghz. If it can pass atitool + orthos for 6 hours I'll be happy.
