Error detected in CPU cache L0 of hwinfo64
Error detected in CPU cache L0 of hwinfo64
Here’s a clearer version of your message:
I’m experiencing an unusual problem after overclocking my CPU and RAM. The system seems stable overall—no memory issues detected with memtest, passed stress tests for AIDA64 and RealBench for several hours, and there are no BSODs or lag. However, the issue only shows up during AIDA and RealBench stress runs. In hwinfo, I see a Cache L0 error on the CPU after about 80 minutes of RealBench testing. It looks like the system is functioning normally while this error appears.
I’m concerned about stability for everyday use. My current specs are: 10850K 5.0GHz/4.8 cache, all-core, 1.3V, MSI board in LLC mode 3, memory at 2x8GB Patriot Viper Steel 4400MHz CL19 set to 4000MHz CL15-16-16-36. The Cache L0 error seems resolved according to hwinfo, but I’m unsure if it’s a serious problem since it only occurs during stress tests.
I tried adjusting the vCore from 1.29 to 1.3, which reduced errors from 2 to 1 during a 2-hour RealBench test, but increasing IO and SA voltages didn’t help. Now I’m getting this error after about 80 minutes of stressing, not the usual 12 minutes.
I don’t want to waste time fixing something that might be harmless, especially since my OC runs smoothly in games, apps, and daily tasks without any WHEA errors. I regularly check hwinfo in the background, but nothing has changed. What should I do next? Is this a minor issue or could it affect hardware?
It doesn't matter if it never happens. With regular use, you won't notice consistent 100% loads lasting more than an hour as you're trying. It's easy to think your device is working fine and just waiting too long before noticing a problem instead of looking for issues.
Could you explain how to identify and configure the L0 error in the cache for the CPU using HWINfo? I’m having trouble finding this information.
