which prime95 test?

[ekuest]

sorry for all these overclocking questions, but i cant seem to find what i need by searching, and you guys usually reply in about 5 mins. its just easier this way.

which prime95 test should i use? is one more stressful than the others?

Blend for testing RAM, small FFTs for testing CPU. And you should also give IntelBurnTest or LinX a shot for testing your CPU.

yeah small fft's for testing CPU overclock.

 

[sirmonkey1985]

run blend test first.. if p95 crashes or the cores are unstable.. then run the small FFT's to test the CPU to remove the ram as a variable in the overclock causing a crash.. so if the cpu passes an hour or 2 of small FFT's then you know the problem lies with the ram either being overclocked to far or the voltage/timings being incorrect.

awesome. ive been using bleend but it seems small ffts might be a useful tool too. thanks.
