    Can Prime 95 be used on less than all cores at once to verify stability?

    Can Prime 95 be used on less than all cores at once to verify stability? Using all cores eventually. I have a mini ITX build with the CPU cooled by a Noctua NH-L9i low profile cooler. It's a 9600k on a Gigabyte Aorus Pro WiFi motherboard. The cooler dissipates a bit over 130 watts of heat...
