OCCT VRM Temps 108c 98c

Does anyone use OCCT to determine OC stability, is it in the same as furmark in that it overly taxes the GPU above what any game would.

I never go above 68c on the VRM doing anything but I thought i'd give OCCT a try as it checks for errors that I may miss or errors that cannot be seen. But the VRM temps are crazy.

Is the best way to determine stability to just play a game for an extended period or run 3dmark for an extended period.

Any insight would appreciated.
 
I usually use GPU-Z to check my VRM temps. To stress them out, I use heaven, or BF3 (actually game).

108/98 is way too high. Also there is no game that stress's the GPU like Furmark does. It is basically overkill IMO if you ask me.

Cheers, I was using heaven to check for stability aswell and my vrm temps never went over 68 after 15 minutes, but just 3 minutes in OCCT and my VRM rose to 108c 98c.

I've never touched furmark as I've read it over taxes the gpu that no game would. I didn't know OCCT was the same but hey we all gotta learn some way.

How long do you run heaven for to test an OC. Ive been playing Far Cry 3 with my OC and no problems after about 4 hours constant playing. So I guess that would be sufficient.

yea farcry 3 is a VERY gpu intesive game. It's a good test, specially 4 hours.

I usually leave heaven going for 2-3 hours....if temps are fine etc, then to me you are ok.
