Prime95 25.3 New version

>GSXR<mrbusa · Jun 17, 2007, 10:53 AM

Came across this and thought some people might be interested. I am not sure of the changes because there site sucks to navigate and hasn't been updated in awhile. Most likely it is a Vista update.

Unless you only have a single core CPU, no reason to go with this. Use Orthos instead.

I have seen overclocks be Orthos stable but not Prime stable and vise versa. It never hurts to have more than one stress test.

its the same program/code. It is just 2 prime95s into one.

I understand that and would not begin to try and explain or figure out why the same overclock would be Orthos stable and then not be dual Prime95 stable. I have also had overclocks not be stable on either program but the time between the start of the benchmark and the crash be completely different.
Either way there is still an update to the code of Prime95.

Guess i should of tried it out before flaming it

. It is quite a good version now. My only beef is that if one thread fails the other keeps going, so it still looks like it is stable because the icon remains green the whole time.
