While you’re doing these tests, keep a lookout for your clock speeds and your scores.
If you experience a crash, dial back voltage slightly and try again.Īfter you successfully complete 3 runs with no crashes, play some games that are CPU intensive (I like to use Shadow of the Tomb Raider because of AVX2 usage in the CPU). Once you find a voltage that shows no errors, run Cinebench R20 multicore 3 times in a row. Rinse and repeat until you find a stable voltage with no errors. If after 5 runs there are no errors, remove some voltage and rerun the tests until an error shows up. If any errors show up, add a little more voltage to both the core and cache, and repeat the 5x run. Run TS bench at 16 threads, 1024M 5x in a row to look for errors. Enable CoolerBoost to remove/reduce thermal throttling as a variable.
