Stress Test for CPU Performance
Stress Test for CPU Performance
I’m running tests with OCCT to verify my OC stability and saw the Auto, No AVX, AVX, or AVX2 settings. Which ones should I use? Can I mix them all? I’m about halfway through an AVX2 test and wondering if I should skip AVX for the next four hours. Thanks!
You'd assess your actions by reflecting on whether they aligned with your intentions and goals.
Consider the BIOS configuration or test with an AVX-enabled and a non-AVX load to observe frequency changes. Keep in mind, the AVX offset feature seems uncertain for Ryzen processors, given their distinct clocking patterns compared to Intel. Many DX12 games include AVX support, and BF5 is a clear example of its use.
When running at stock speeds or just PBO, the power draw seems quite high. I don’t really rely on OCCT, so I’m unsure about its current consumption or stability characteristics. Mostly I use Linpack and Prime95, though even for a manual overclock I think a few hours would be sufficient.
