Prime Priority

[GML3G0]

When running regular Prime95 (where you can't change priority in the program) I'm stable at 1.5250 vcore. However, I download SP2004 (which runs on the Prime95 engine and provides a graphical interface) at 10 priority, it needs upwards of 1.5500 vcore to remain stable. Does the priority really make a difference?

well, here's the deal, my computer passes EVERYTHING, every stability test, Super Pi, OCCT, Processor Stability Tester, and every other stability app I can think of. Is it a problem if it can barely do 20 minutes of Prime? This is SP2004 at priority 10.

holy crap! i ran S&M and that thing toasts!!! my CPU was running at 65°C at only 1.5000 vcore. I don't understand. My case is 26-27°C tops, my video card is 32°C during regular use. Everything is nice and cool. Must be a temp bug. My HSF doesn't feel hot at all.
