It seems that I solved the problem!
I limited CPU freq to 1200 and DDR freq to 600 and experienced no crashes so far

As expected. It's still the simple rule "Cheap, fast, reliable -- choose two".

Would be interesting to compare your still 'overclocked' settings with sane settings. Would you mind running the 3 short benchmarks listed here with your current settings and with sane settings (1200 or better 1008 MHz cpufreq and DRAM @ 480 MHz) to compare results?

All cores produce the same result. No failures as expected: I use heatsink with fan

Sorry, I don't understand... what do you mean with "all cores produce the same result"?

A realistic approach to check both stability and data integrity on a multi core system with n cores is to run n-1 cpuburn-a7 tasks while executing 1 cpufreq-ljt-stress-test and see what's happening then.

Same applies to lima-memtester.

The so called 'default' clockspeeds used with the H3 based Orange Pis are so insanely high that I would simply call them overclocked. But where's the point when you run your system even when idle at voltage/clockspeed combinations that would only be useful if you plan to do high performance computing. And then not trying out how the hardware behaves in such HPC situations when utilising all cores with 100%.

If HPC is NOT the goal then it would make much more sense to use conservative settings (adjusting clockspeeds in sysfs is not enough, it would also require more operating point's inside the fex file's dvfs table) since the need for a fan or even a heatsink might be gone. And if HPC is the goal then a reliability test with HPC conditions has to proof that the settings are sane for such situations (but I still doubt that an ultra-slow Cortex-A7 design is the right foundation for HPC but since the problem also applies to other situations like gaming it's still necessary to test what's happening when running with full utilisation)

Anyway: In a few weeks my Orange Pi PC will arrive and I will then give it a try with something like this http://pastebin.com/Wa879G0Y and report back the other thread.

Sorry, I don't understand... what do you mean with "all cores produce the same result"?

A realist ...

cpuburn-a7 starts 4 threads and doesn't have an option.
Anyway, I when I run cpuburn-a7 and cpufreq-ljt-stress-test in parallel, I have no errors and max temp is 56°

Ok, when lima-memtester also exits without an error while cpuburn-a7 is running simultaneously your cooling approach seems to be safe regarding data integrity and stability. Problems with decreased lifespan may remain due to high voltage settings but maybe that's not of interest to Orange Pi H3 users...
Anyway, thx for the tests. I will wait until my Orange Pi PC arrives and then do some own testings and report back here. And good news: Siarhei in the meantime received his first H3 device and that might improve hardware specific issues also a lot (he's the one who wrote the tools you used)

cpufreq-ljt-stress-test (script modified to show cpu temperature and skip tests for 504 to 912 MHz)
OparngePi-2, heatsink&fan(3x3cm,5V), Ubuntu 14.04, kernel
3.4.39-01-lobo, ambient temperature 24 C

@bronco  I dont think there will be any "decreased lifespan" when running at 1200/1536 MHZ, H3 SoC is capable of running at 80 C continuously.

...

Wow! Great comprehensive reply. Thank you a lot.

Very good idea to show the temperature as well. Might be an idea to add /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq also to the output and publish the modified script somewhere?

Regarding temperatures: based on my (very limited electrical) knowledge it makes a huge difference if a SoC stays at sane temperatures on its own or whether you need advanced heat dissipation techniques (AKA heatsink + fan) to achieve these temperatures. You increase the core voltage a bit and temperatures rise almost exponentially. Based on discussions on the linux-sunxi list it seems to be common knowledge that slight increases in core voltage negatively affect the chip's achievable lifespan.

The fex files from you I looked into just define 2 dvfs table entries with rather high voltages. I would suspect that many of the heat problems disappear automagically if one uses more entries with lower voltages for lower clockspeeds (I will start with these entries when my board arrives in a few weeks, but can not recommend to test these by anyone else who's not experienced with modifying fex files). I'll report back with some insights then.
At the moment I'm happy that the heat problems seem to be solveable by adjusting dvfs stuff and clockspeeds. And that's all I need to evaluate the H3 for home automation and IoT stuff.

In my eyes the H3 only has two interesting features: H.265 capable (Android only) and cheap as hell (no PMU, integrated 100 MBit Ethernet PHY). Since I'm not interested in Android only the latter applies...
