How long should i run the test the aida 64 test i ran prime 95 and it crashed my pc with a bsod error whea i research everything and can't find a answer thanks
Hello, thank you very much for your recent visit. I really appreciate your time. I never understood these graphs but you have done a great review here and I understand it so much better now.
Gave this a try to make sure my 9600k wasn't gonna flip at 4.8Ghz and thanks to my cooling it barely touched 60degrees during the test. Quite a useful bit of software.
You may be one of the smartest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting! I definitely know who I am coming to with future tech questions! :) Happy holidays to you!
It would appear that you need to improve your cooling for your CPU, you could check that you have Thermal Paste, and or you could use a Water Cooler or maybe just a better Air CPU Cooler...
i just put some thermal grizzly kryonaut on my cpu. I replaced the very old and probably cheap paste in my dell optiplex. And my temps are around 8c cooler in aida64
That software would be really cool to play around with. Having that trial period to test it out is nice. I'd like to see you do a video on external storage options.
I can't say for the voltages as I never messed with them, but if your running that temp under full load stress testing then it does seem a little high but not to much to worry about, if it's under normal conditions then it is a bit higher then I'd be comfortable with.
Typically this would occur when your running the System Stability Test (SST), AIDA64 displays an error message on the SST user interface, and the SST window becomes red -- it means AIDA64 revealed a hardware flaw that isn't serious enough to make the computer or Windows crash, but it's still considered an instability issue. Hope that helps...Thanks...
I have a dual core processor (AMD A4-5300) but aida64 extreme shows single core temperature while stress test... I compared hw monitor it shows me temperature of cpu which is twice the number of aida64.... Please help
Not an expert with these tests but another option would be to use Prime95 and see what the test comes up with...not sure why AIDA64 is not giving you the info you need...
Hi! Thank you for the informative video! Do you happen to know why the programme does not show my CPU temperature? Basically, I do not have the tickbox "CPU" at all when running benchmarks and it does not show the CPU temp in the graph. Can someone help ?
If you have an earlier version of AIDA 64 Extreme and you're using it for a 5000 series CPU then it's because they've recently updated it to handle that series of CPU if not, then I'm not sure...
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM Hi, thank you for your reply! It turned out that you are right, I did have an earlier version, but I got the newest one and the problem got resolved. Thanks again!
How do i test for throttling? I think my 2700x is throttling but the trial version doesn't show it and every other video I watch it will show it for everyone else
The version of AIDA64 Extreme that you buy will let you see the Thermal Throttling...can't remember right now where but do remember seeing it...Thanks...
Is it running at full clock? On my i7 8750h and gtx 1060 gpu I got it running with cpu clock only 2.5GHz with cpu temps in 80-85C, while Far Cry 5 makes my cpu run at ~4GHz with temps 90-95. Is there a way to force AIDA64 to run test in full clock? Otherwise, it is not effective.
Hi, not certain what your saying, think you had stressed your CPU for only 50 seconds and it got to 70c, if so check the CPU Cooler is installed correctly, and or maybe re-apply the Thermal Paste just in case...Take Care...
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM Nooo nooo heheee moment. Simply, the aida64 program turns off after a while. In the task manager I have 100% CPU usage after that because the Aida64 program runs in the background but it is not in the bar. I just played the game after that. At rest he descends below 40 degrees easily :) However, I ordered a thermal grizzly conductronaut anyway. Liquid metal. I hope it will be good :)
I haven't had a chance to test the Intel CPU's, however 96C is high, what CPU Cooler are you using, and did you apply Thermal Paste, just in case it might have been forgotten...something like the Hyper 212 EVO is quiet and gives good Temps, I'm sure you could get down to max temp under load of around 76-83C...
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM yes man im sure thermal paste is aplied im using stock cooler but the temp in my country is 36c also while gaming it reaches 86c max is that ok or i should buy a good cooler . thx
@@Basel-oz3cn Yes, given the outside temps and stock cooler that would be very reasonable, either way 86C while gaming is sightly on the high side but not something to worry about...Thanks...
I have intel core i5 10400. Using this stress test, I get 80degree average, sometimes it jumps at 88 during the test. But no throttle. I use stock cooler. Should I be worried? Thanks
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM And one more thing... I play Detroit: become human (ultra settings). All the time the cpu temperature is 20-40 degrees, but sometimes at specific locations cpu get loaded at 90-100% + 80-90 degree. Is it optimization issue or cpu? (When idle, cpu average temp is 35 deg) Thanks for you reply. I really appreciate it=)
@@ArtikMan1994 I'd say it's likely using more of your CPU thus putting it under a bit more of a load, however for those periods of time, I'd still not be concerned with the temps...idle temps are great as well..
I did get some feedback that the FPU should also be included with the CPU, you can include other items, such as GPU to determine if there could be issue's with a new GPU or used even...but not necessary, choices are up to you...
Thank you for the quick reply, i ran the stress tests with FPU Cache for about two hours and my average temps were around 72-75 so i’m pretty happy with my CPU temps while it being OC
I test to make sure everything is working well and can stand up to the other tasks it might be doing. If it can survive the Testing then it'll be good for gaming, video editing and so on.
yes you can test the GPU with it, and many other items as well...including the MB stress level...there is also a program called Prime95 that will work as well...Thanks...
It would be an indicator that it's either faulty or failing...there can be other things to consider as well, such as ensuring you have the right drivers and there up to date...
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM The thing is i just changed my Mbo and Cpu. Having some problems with crahses, Directx crash and "Phisicaly removed Gpu" error. So Im trying to figure this out. thanks for helping.
I don't think this is working. CPU usage goes to 100% but temperatura remain the same, surely that shouldn't be the case, right? It's supposed to go up
This is a demo of how the program works, and the temps went up to 72 and varied only slightly, if I had included the idle temps after stopping the full load test you'd have seen it drop quickly to the idle temps, was the first time using the program so I didn't show the temps as well as I could have but if you look at the grey line at the top the dips in the line indicate the slight fluctuations that were taking place...I do show it in better details in other videos this one was more to show how to use the program...hope that helps explain it a little...Thanks...
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM Great video, I saw 3-4 on fast forward before this and none of them were clear enough, one thing tho, the audio was too low on this one, had a hard time hearing so I turned on CC xD
Yeah I was just about to buy a Lavalier to fix this then got put off work since this virus started so It'll get better once I can get it again, sorry about that...
Modern CPU's are designed to shut down when it gets to a certain temperature, the exact shut down temperature will vary based on the BIOS settings, but generally ranges from 70 to 100 degrees Celsius...it will shut down before damage can take place...
not certain what you mean by unstable, if you mean the temps are going up and down a lot, then it's likely the CPU Cooler is not cooling the CPU correctly or possibly some other reason...Let me know more info and I'll see if I can help more...Thanks...
People usually use a program like this if they are overclocking (making CPU faster than its stick speed). Instability can happen because if not enough cooling, not enough voltage and other factors. Generally you can fix instability by increasing cooling or voltage
I have had that recently my temp dropped just a little under full load, it was surprising but it can happen...that's just means your CPU Cooler is working well...
Reviewing Playing & More RPM . But it seems like this software isn’t accurate for temperatures. I compared temperature with other software simultaneously. The other ones have same close outputs to each other and at a higher temperature, while this one gives you lower temperature.
@@tamaica7770 Well I do also use HWInfo64 and CPUID to get comparisons, but have found they usually match or are very close to AIDA64 Extreme, so it is possible to have fluctuations but usually not by more then a few degree's different. This software is used by many people and there are updates often so ensure you have the most up to date to be sure it's giving the most accurate readings, there have been a couple newer versions that works with newer CPUs, and MBs and a few other things so it's possible there could be differences...overall though as long as your not seeing huge differences it's still good...
Yes, it test your components, should there be one that is having issue's the test will fail and stop and your system will still work as it did before but at least then you'll be able to try and identify which component needs to be look at for a driver update possibly or in need of replacement at some point...
Couple ways to check it, with AIDA 64 as mentioned, or you could if it's not in a system take it to a computer shop and ask them to put it on a tester which will tell you the voltages, etc so you'll know it's working correctly, or for approx $20 you could buy your own...Hope that helps if not let me know...Thanks...
You can downlod and use the Trial version for free...after the trial is over, then it'll cost...if you plan to use it a lot the price is worth it...Thanks...
