jackgarcia7 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I am starting a huge project in which I will eventually make my R4 water cooled. I need to know all the parameters that I should test pre mod. If you have a how to or suggestions let me know. Good software is appreciated.

Founder Brian Posted November 19, 2012 Founder Share Posted November 19, 2012 If you want popular benchmarking software then its a short list:1. 3dmark 112. 3dmark vantage3. unigine heaven dx 114. popular dx 11 games (e.g. crysis 2)5. CPU benchmarks (e.g. wprime) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anal4o Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 For maximum load on the GPU I would recommend Furmark. Prime95 is a good CPU benchie...What statistics do u mean exactly? 3d mark will give u some statistics, but if you mean temperatures before and after the mod, you will need to use Hwinfo or some other program to measure them and then write them down somewhere...

svl7 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 For maximum load on the GPU I would recommend Furmark. Prime95 is a good CPU benchie...Furmark doesn't max out the GPU load, the only thing it really maxes out is the load on the voltage supply circuit. DO NOT use furmark if you want your cards in working condition. Furmark is good for only one thing - killing cards. Besides, it will throttle anyway, Nvidia seems to have implemented this a security feature if you run furmark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pewpewbangbang Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 not really sure what you want.....but I guess using HWinfo or Afterburner or GPU-z to measure your temps before the water-cooling? Then measure them afterwards and compare?You could run the benchmarks mentioned above and just record them before the mod. After the mod, you can try to see how far you can overclock and then just compared the scores I guess while testing stability? Yea furmark is no bueno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator BAKED Posted November 21, 2012 Moderator Share Posted November 21, 2012 Yep don't use Furmark, you should use the tools Brian mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
