Where to Find Prime95

[bobross419]

I've tried finding Prime95 by going to the mersonne.org website and also via the links in the sticky "How to guide: Memtest86+, Prime95, and SP2004" and haven't had any luck. I've tried the first 10 or so google hits, but alot of the software download sites are blocked at work . Does anyone know where I can find Prime95?

Thanks

Try this site:

Prime95 v25.6

If you can't access it, don't waste your time. Just do it when you get home.

Ya, that site is blocked. And I need it for work to test a computer we just "rebuilt".

if you PM me your e-mail adress, I'll send you the file, I'm sure it will pass through that way.

EDIT: of course only if you're allowed to use the software

You say you need it but it would appear your employer disagrees with you as a matter of policy since you are blocked from the site. I've had friends who got fired for violating internet usage policy at work by dicking around until they got around the restrictions for downloads. (in their case it was for doing nothing other than listening to streaming internet radio while working in their cube)

You really ought to work with the authorities at your place of employment to figure out how they can help you do your job versus you taking it upon yourself to circumvent their restrictions (no matter how unjustified they may be in your mind). They may unrestrict your access or provide you with alternative but authorized stability tools that function in similar capacity as Prime95 does for the at-home user.

I replaced the capacitors on an out of warranty machine and some of my coworkers don't feel that the machine is stable enough to put back into circulation, so I decided to hit it with a 12-24 hour Prime95 torture test. There are plenty of sites that I can get to that have links back to the mersonne site, but it appears that Prime95 has been removed from the mersonne site completely - I get a page cannot be displayed instead of the usual network block message.

Yes, was just a typo on my part in making the post. Thanks for that one though

Can anyone else access this page?

Try the above, I think they just changed things around with the new version. The "p64v257" link is if you need it in a 64 bit version.

When in doubt, majorgeeks.com
