stress testing on a dual core

[marsbars162]

i read somewhere that to stress test a dual core processor with Prime95 you should run 2 instances, is this true?

 

[Zatharus]

Since Prime95 is a single threaded application, this is technically true.

Prime95 maxes out all of my cores.

Same here, all four to 100%.

 

[Zatharus]

Right...forgot about the multi-core version...

 

[marsbars162]

which version of prime95 is multithreaded?

 

[Bodaggit23]

I'll check tonight to see which version I have.

Just get the latest version and you should be set.
