Stability Testing Questions
running in virtualization shouldn't cause any issues. if regular processes function properly, they should too inside this setup.
as I mentioned, just monitor your temperatures while gaming. additionally, watch for graphical glitches such as artifacts on the screen, static lines, or unusual shapes and colors appearing during gameplay. you might want to reduce the overclock slightly. this shouldn't occur if FurMark operates correctly.
even with any chosen overclock level, you can still set up a custom fan speed curve for your CPU cooler and/or case fans to help lower temperatures to acceptable levels—85°C is quite high.
i have a few case fans set to 0% until the GPU reaches around 38°C, then they gradually increase as temperature rises, reaching about 75% at 60°C.
the CPU cooler also follows this pattern, increasing steadily from 25% at 40°C up to 65% at 60°C before leveling off.
you'll need to experiment to find the optimal fan speeds for your CPU and GPU.
SpeedFan is a useful tool for this, or you can use a reliable external fan controller.

JohnBonhamsGhost shared their experience on virtualization and gaming performance. They mentioned that running regular processes should work well inside the environment, but they recommend monitoring temperatures while gaming. They also noted graphical issues like artifacts, static lines, or unusual colors during gameplay, suggesting a possible need to reduce overclocking unless FurMark runs smoothly. They advise creating custom fan speed curves for better temperature control, especially aiming for around 85°C. The user shared their setup with case fans and CPU cooler settings, explaining how they adjust speeds based on temperature readings. They recommended SpeedFan or an external fan controller and provided a link to a product page. The original poster also discussed using a negative pressure system and comparing base IBT vs prime fan performance during testing.
I wouldn't rely on either, though it's not harmful to try. It will actually help keep the system cooler than expected since nothing should put too much strain on it. Playing high-end games like Witcher 3 or Fallout 4 and doing light video editing is what will stress the system most. I monitor MSI Afterburner and CoreTemp in the taskbar regularly, which reflects real-world temperatures.
