Pass/Fail?

[yahknow1]

Would this run, albeit short, pass for a temperature test? I know the temps on the cores bounce above 80 briefly, but then return to reasonable levels.

My question is: Should the test fail if ANY core touches the 80 degree mark or is it whatever your willing to chance?

If you look at the second graph, it will tell you when the CPU hits the throttle point.

Thanks for taking the time to look for me Chino but I have a question:
The first and second graph are identical except for time. The second is around 6 minutes shorter time-wise. ( I tried removing it and just keep the first but it stubbornly refused to let me for some weird reason?)

I don't see what you're talking about hitting the throttle point, but I've wondered what throttle looks like? Maybe I'm misreading it? If throttle is a green line, wouldn't the yellow line stop replaced with green? I'm new to AIDA64, still trying to get comfortable with it.

Another question I have about AIDA64 is weather or not to use its temp readings or use real temp? OR does anyone use the OC Terminal that came with the R5E board? I kind of doubt that last one since it's always quit a bit lower readings ( wish i could though?)

When your CPU is throttling, you will see a red line fluctuation instead of the steady green line. It's a sign that you're using either too much voltage or your cooling isn't capable of keeping the temperatures under control.

The OC Panel reads the temperature differently from the programs that you mentioned. Each user has his own preference for monitoring programs. Use the one that you're most comfortable with. The rule of thumb is to never use two of them simultaneously.
