2x Prime 95?

[Hacp]

Ok, it gets extremely laggy when I run 2x prime 95 on my x2. Should I have it do one Ram heavy and one CPu heavy? I usually go for option 3 on both..... I have 2gb pagefile enabled.

It wil be laggy cause if you are using version 2.38 it is going to suck up ALL OF YOUR RAM!!! Go to task manager and see for yourself....You can do custom and set the memory amount for each to use....I would use 2 small FFTs or 1 small and 1 large...Blended is a joke and can be more thoroughly tested elsewhere

Ok I just went to taskmanager and i saw that each program was takign up 30k memory..... DOesn't seem like alot. However, when I look at the total Physical memory available in the performance tab, it says i'm around 2-4 Megs. I'm confused. Also, when I look at Windows task manager, process tab, the CPU flucuates from 00,01,02, and 03. WTF? I thought there was only 2 cpus. Am I totally mistaken? Is it something different? I have no Idea.

Ok is this safe? I have 3 instances of prime 95 running. One on Large FTT, and 2 on SHort FTT. I also have Super PI calculating 32 million. My processor is at 73 degrees.

Don't let it get above 65c

Hell, at 55C I get cautious.. At 60C I troubleshoot.

Isn't the CPU supposed to shutdown if it goes past a certain temp..?

If it's set in your bios yes. Mine under load is typically between 52-56c, and idle at 37-38c.

I think the 7800gtx is heating up my whole system, although the fan strategy in my P180 should be sucking some of that hot air downward.

53c load isnt bad anyway at my settings.

Problem has since been solved.

what's wrong with the blend test?
