Prime95 Lockups

johan851 · Feb 22, 2004

I've been pushing my processor a little harder lately, and achieved some new highs. Don't want to post them until they're stable though.

I know when Prime95 returns with an error then you're unstable and might have to clock down or increase voltage. My question is...when the system just locks during Prime95, is that a heat issue or an instability issue?

if it locks up, give it more vcore, that's windows killin it, not really prime

if it sum errors(expected XXX, got XXX), that's usually vcore too

if it 100 errors out, lol, too high clock or fsb

that's just my experience

Alright, I'll throw a little more voltage at it. Thanks.

I just got the illegal sumout error...100 times. More voltage necessary, or what?

possibly vdimm...

Vdimm shouldn't be necessary. It's Memtest stable, and the same FSB is Prime95 stable at lower multis.

Probably heat, or a weak power supply.

Fortron 530w, it's not the PSU. PSU is doing great - 11.98-12.04, 5.13, and 3.28-3.33 at those vCores (1.95v).

Heat gets up to 45C on water...could that be it?

P95 LOCKS-UP = MORE VCORE

It is the worst form of P95's instability.
