Hello! First, some specs:
Intel Core i7-6700K
Noctua NH-L9x65 (temporary until my NH-C14 comes in)
GSkill TridentZ F4-3200C14D-32G (16GBx2 kit, PC4-25600 / 3200MHz)
ASRock Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac
Can you tell me what the CPU State (\|/-) visually represents, aside from working/waiting modes (if anything)?
In parallel mode, when each test starts, all 8 cores (4 physical cores + HT) 'spin' at the same rate. Soon after, CPU0 falls out of sync with the rest of the cores (which all match). Is this indicative of a throttling or similar issue, or would you consider this fairly normal?
And while I'm here, how taxing is the average test? Is it the equivalent of sustained 50% CPU? 100%? Just asking since I'm currently at 64C, which, while still quite acceptable, isn't something I'd want to see if Memtest is only hitting the CPU at 25% or so.
While I haven't hit any outright errors, I have experienced several freezes, and video corruption in one case. Ended up re-seating the cooler and re-applying paste (one corner of the CPU was entirely bare when I pulled the cooler off), so I'm hoping that is the cause, and not related to the State.
Thanks for your time!
