Prime95 Torture Test

psychofunk · 05-July-03, 06:51 PM

Okay not sure if this is the right place for this as this is not a benchmark it is a stability tester of oc's or so I have been told. Anyways I am using this and I cannot pass it at all. It dies in the first minute or two.

Now normally I would think that this means that the oc fails but in this instance my comp is acting normal. I can burn, play games, listen to music, watch tv, cruise the internet, do photshop stuff, whatever. So I am thinking perhaps I have something setup incorrectly. Can someone help me?

I belive it means there is something wrong with your overclock, as the program knows what the answers to its calculations should come out to. What it means is that the realy realy realy realy CPU intensive mathamatical calculations like those used in stuff like folding@home and what not might/will have inaccurate results.

Your games for the most part are handled by your grafics card...
