Boosted420a Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 I came accross this program called SP2004. To me, it basically looks like a modified Prime95, with a few more options, and its eaier to use. I wanted to know if this program is any good for stres testing the cpu. Also if it is, what priority level is considered best to use, 1-10. So far I've been running it for 4+hours at priority 1, which I hope this is good. Feedback please .

It`s logical 1-10 1 less stress and lower priority -10 max stress and max.priority Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madu Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 It is just Prime95 with a better user interface.. It has the original Prime95 source code in it.. Nothing more nothing less.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted420a Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Thats good to know, thanks guys. Now, one more question, would an 8+ hour run at priority one be considered accpetable, or would it be better to run it at priority 10.

ixtapalapaquetl Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Their was a lengthy discussion of priority a while back; unfortunately I can't remember the conclusions. You might want to do a search. I would suggest running at least 8 - you would hate to have a false sense of security when it comes to stability. Better yet, run it at 10 overnight when you're sleeping. One note on SP2004: I am pretty sure it is based on some older code (23.xx). The latest Prime 95 is 24.14 or so. Some argue that the 23.xx version is less strenuous, and thus not as reliable as a stability test. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphie Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 One note on SP2004: I am pretty sure it is based on some older code (23.xx). The latest Prime 95 is 24.14 or so. Some argue that the 23.xx version is less strenuous, and thus not as reliable as a stability test. After some testing today it seems that i can't pass SP2004, while i do pass Prime95 with the same settings. I stick to my v24.12 for now.

THunDA Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I always use the newest prime95.. sp2004 does have a better interface but its based off a older version of prime.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
