Anyone seen this when Prime95ing before?

I've been running prime95 fine tuning my 4GHz Core i7 OC

When you do blend, the first 1024k self test, there are supposed to be 8 tests of 4000 Lucas-Lehmer iterations using FFT length 1024k

Most of my cores do 8 tests and then say Self-test 1024k passed!

but core 1 is only doing 6 or 7 tests and then giving the Self-test 1024k passed! message

When I halt the program, it says 0 errors, 0 warnings for core 1

So what is going on, I've never seen this before when priming and fine tuning an OC, is it bad? good?

I've seen it happen before especially when your surfing the web or doing other things on your pc while running prime.

ive had it happen to me periodicly.. especially on my phenom II 940.. ive had it where 1 core only did 6 and another core did 10 while the other 2 did the normal 8.. it might just be caused by 1 of the cores being slower then the others or its a flaw in the programming.. but if it passes then i dont think its really something to worry about..

You guys were right. I did a prime with nothing going on and no tests were skipped.

Thanks!
