What I meant was; When you start up the program, before initiating the test, you have an option of how many threads to run the test with.
How many would it be suggested to run it with?
I tried running it with 8, which resulted in a crash a couple of hours in. (Although with bugcheck 0x124 instead)
I suppose this might be credited to the OC I'm currently running.
The crashes while gaming and being idle, however, are not explainable based on that though. When I ran the tests, the temps went almost 30 degrees celsius above anything I see when gaming, and almost double of the idle temps.
Idle temps are around 40, gaming anywhere from 50-55 and the tests peaked around 80.
I should probably return to default clock-speeds to see if that is the cause, but it has been running stable for a very long time before starting this BSoD'ing, so I doubt it's related.
Yes, you must return it to default clock speeds. The basic rule of overclocking is make sure the system stable after the adjustment.
I'll try running a test with 6 threads, this shouldn't get temps as high, and I suppose hardware-check-wise it'll be identical?
Nope, you can adjust to use 6 threads in the test but while multitasking or gaming you couldn't control which CPU thread will handle the operation.
So it's better to test all threads.
