Prime 95...lmao

[sHape oF gReY]

...well i thought id try this little thing on my old comp to get a feel for it... so when my new rig comes in im ready to go. The sucker halted with in 1 second of running the Torture Test....:rolleyes: and the CPU is running at stock speeds with stock cooling... jus thought it was funny :D


ok carry on, nothing to see here :cool:

I have seen this problem myself on a coupe of stock speed computers, and it sure makes you wonder. The only thing I can suggest is that you might try a different version of Prime95, and see if it works any better.

[sHape oF gReY]

hmm well this comp has about 2 weeks left on it...but im gona go hunt me down a newer copy of Prime95 jus for giggles, and see how that goes. :D

[Cyrix_2k]

What's the specs of the comp (your old rig and your new rig)? Just wondering.

[sHape oF gReY]

ok, try not to laugh too much.

Current(soon to be old) :cry:

Mobo --- Gigabyte 7ZXE
CPU --- AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.2GHz
RAM --- 3x256 PC133
HSF --- stock
Case cooling --- none (keep the side cover off with a table fan blowing in it..ghetto but it works)


New (been saving up for it for some times now) :burn:

Mobo --- Abit NF7- S v2.0
CPU --- AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (barton)
RAM --- Twinmos ch-5 PC3200 CL2.5 (2x256)
HSF --- SLK-800U + TT Smart Case Fan II w/ AS III
Case --- Cheiften Dragon w/ 3 TT SmartCase Fans with Sunbeam Fan Controller to keep em in order :D

think that covers most of it...

Ooch good job on getting a rheo for those smartfans, I only have one and it's a tad loud, got somewhat quieter after having it run for a few days strait but not much ( or is that my ears getting worse from having it run?? )

[sHape oF gReY]

yeah, they can get pretty loud. My friend is running same case-cooling setup...first time we ran it, his old man asked him why he had a hairdryer running for hours at a time :D

[sHape oF gReY]

well... looks like the new version of P95 did the trick... 5 hrs and still going at it :D

[Vertig0]

Your new setup looks pretty slick! You've got some real nice choics for components there... Btw, you didn't mention a PSU. Whatever you do, don't skimp out on your PSU! ^^

[sHape oF gReY]

doh! i knew i missed something....

PSU --- Antec TP 430

[sHape oF gReY]

my Vid. card sucks bad :D But it is not in as bad of shape as the rest of my comp so that perticular upgrade will have to wait a bit...plus all this new stuff gona set me back enough ...

the 5200 FX should last me an OK amount of time...dont have a clue what to upgrade to though....so many choices out there :rolleyes:

[ayoung]

P95 is a joke...

ITs way overrated as a Desktop pc stability program.

I never use it (anymore).
