Prime95 Question

[dobieg2002]

This may sound stupid, but I have a Q6600 G0 running stock Vcore. I get no errors in Prime95, but the 4 threads do not finish each run at the same time. Is this normal?

Were you doing anything while Prime95 was running? If so, then those tasks would take away CPU cycles from one or more cores and cause different end times.

When I run Prime95, I just leave it be. I'll check on it occassionally, but I definitely don't play games or surf the web while Priming.

Yeah. One of my prime instances will usually fail if I try to do something else on the side.
