Testing OC stability, Prime?

ap673 · Jun 1, 2004

Hey all, I was just wondering what everyone uses to check if their system is stable, and how it works? I've heard a lot about prime95 and whatnot, but I know nothing about it. A link to it would be awsome too! Thanks! :beer:

Prime95 can be found here in its various iterations. You should use the "Torture Test" option.

I use the blend type of torture test when I'm testing overall stability since it tests both RAM and CPU, and the small in-place FFTs when testing CPU only stability.

Ok, im a little confused. I'm a real retard using this Prime95 thing, all i know is that somehow it stresses ur cpu and tells u if you're getting any errors. I just did test, Primenet. It says it will take about an hour and Test 1, 3100 Lucas-Lehmer....what am I looking for here?

*fires up own copy*

Go Options > Torture Test and then select one of the radio buttons corresponding to a torture test. It will run lots of iterations continuously until stopped after you hit go. :thup:
