Strange Prime95 behaviour

    I ran blend on Prime95 for 12 hours and only got those. I remembered when I tried it on my old cpu, it had a lot more test running on it. Also, the first 1/2 I monitor the temps, cpu and pf usage. Cpu usage never went more than 15% while PF usage was constant at 1.34MB. Temps did not increase at all. It sat around 32-35C only. I tried another software like Prime95, SP2004 with the same results. Anyone knows why?

    Maybe but that doesnt explain why Prime95 doesnt do as much test. The test arent dependent on cpu are they? Besides, it is overclocked at the moment so surely the temp would go high no?

    Well the temps wont go up unless the cpu usage goes up

    Is there any newer version of prime95?

    Blend hammers the memory, not the processor. If you want to see heat with a capital H run either of the other two tests. They will guarantee to roast your processor a lot hotter than any gaming ever will!

    I've done that, but I thought Blend is to test overeall stability while the other tow mainly to check the stability under high temp?
