Current specs
i7 980x @ 4.6ghz 23multix200bclk (1.45 vcore) Custom WC
pll 2.1
qpi 1.425
IOH @ 1.34
ICH @ 1.4
Load Line Calibration On
Cpu Spread Spectrum ON
all thermal management shit is OFF
idle around 40c or lower, load is just above 80c using intel burn test/occt with realtemp temperature monitoring


Yes, the question is how to get this stable for 50 passes of intel burn test. My pc never crashes and I have no issues but I would feel more comfortable if it was ROCK SOLID. Also concerned that I may have added too much vcore.
I can't pass 50 passes. I do have a faulty ram stick I am rma'ing though.

not a master overclocker but...if you back off vcore and aren't able to pass stress test, then that's the voltage your cpu requires to sustain your clock. upping voltage to qpi or cpu vtt will also add heat to your cpu, but you may have to do so to achieve a higher clock and/or more extensive stress testing stability. you may then have to revise your liquid cooling system wick off more heat. maybe push/pull fans or additional radiators.

I also have a bad stick of ram, gotta rma it. :(
 
If you are OC'ing at what you believe to be at or near your PCs absolute stable limit then a 30 minute test, no matter how torturous, is really not sufficient to establish the PC as stable. You should really do a 24-hour test (~480 iterations on your PC) at an absolute minimum. I can't count the number of OCs I have had that were stable for 6+ hours that would fail at some point thereafter.

If you know you aren't near the PCs limit, like if you have run a 30 minute test at 4600, and now you are stepping down to 4400, then a 30 minute test might be acceptable, though I would still probably run one overnight (8 hours) or while I am at work (12 hours), just to make sure.

I will definitely take this into consideration.
 
i tend not to count an over clock as stable unless it passes at least 8hrs of 4x iterations of orthos 2004 with max memory usage.
