So when I first ran prime 95 on my dual core, i noticed it was never under full load. I'm guessing it was made before dual cores hit the market so it obviously dosen't max out both cores. It looks like it runs half on one and half on the other.
So I used Ai Booster, a temp monitoring program that came w/ my mobo that you can also use to OC your cpu(i used BIOS though).
I ran the HL2 Lost Coast video stress test over and over again for a solid hour w/ Prime95 running in the background. I ran the HL stress demo at 1280x1024 w/ everything turned all the way up. My average FPS was 50.76! I was pretty happy about that. The video card NEVER whent over 61C, and was at 55-60 most of the time.
And the CPU never whent above 46C. And it's OC'ed to 2.5. And it idles at 29-30C
I guess to me it seems like the temp's are pretty low. I guess i'm just happy that I could OC the CPU at 2.5 and have the video card OC'ed at 490/1.16 and it be stable and not run hot under that much load.
Anyone on here tried anything similar? Or anyone know of any programs that can stress dual cores? I know you should let it run around 12 hours or so but i've yet to of found a program like Prime95.
