TypeVR6 Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 I seem to be having problems when running the blend/custom tests with prime 95. When I run dual instances of the small tests, both CPU are utilized [task manager]. However, when I run Blend/Custom, only one appears to be fully used. I've set the affinity in Prime [one to 0, the other to 1] and set the appropriate affinity in task manager as well. X2 Patch has been applied, xp fix as well. I cant seem to get this to work, any one have any ideas or suggestions? I tried using SP2004 instead, and I keep getting page alerts, with the same results - one is being fully utilized, the other is not. Thanks in advance.

tasr Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Did you set it up exactly like this; Setting up an X2 CPU for dual Prime95 stability testing. What version of prime95 do you have? I believe SP2004 is based on an older version of Prime95. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THunDA Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Follow the link that tasr posted.. It sounds like you didnt set the amount of ram for prime to use when doing the blend test. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypeVR6 Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 THunDA: I definately read the guide. As per the instructions, I split the memory per Prime. I have 2x 1GB so I used 980mb per Prime. Should I set it a little lower? Im really doing this to stress and test the memory as I know the core is stable [12hrs Prime @ Small test]. Thanks in adv..

THunDA Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 980 is waaay to much ram to dedicate to prime, you cant forget your OS needs ram to operate too.. set it to 850.. thats what I use for my 2gig's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe SP2004 is based on an older version of Prime95. SP2004 v.0.40, released April 5, 2006, uses the latest released Prime95 code (v24.14). See SP2004 mirror sites for a list of mirror sites.
