baronvonimel Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Got another question for you guys... I got my 4200+ x2 on a DFI NF590 AM2 relativley stable at 11x CPU multi, 3x HTT multi, 246 HTT freq at 1.4v. Temps are stable at sub 50 and I passed SuperPi, OCCT, and 3Dmark03 and 05. Right now I am running the Prime95 torture for 8 hours (just started) and no problems so far. My question is, throughout my testing I never noticed the CPU utilization to go above 55%. At least if it did then I missed it. Will it ever go to 100% on a dual core? Is there something else I should do to get it up that high? I am running prime95 with the stock specs at 8mb of ram - should I increase that? Thanks in advance! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coors Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Are you running two instances of prime? Try using orthos instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baronvonimel Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Nope just one instance of prime... Ill give orthos a shot, thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coors Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 With prime you have to run one instance for each core. Like this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baronvonimel Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Now that you mention it, I remember reading something about that. Well Orthos did the trick, straight up to 100% as soon as I hit GO. Thanks a lot for the help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
