Dual SuperPi fails - Dual Prime + Kitchen Sink doesn't

[k2uza]

Ok, after some initial temperature problems (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=89469) I think I have my system stable. I've had a stable system using the following tests:


Dual Prime: Using all 3 tests. Small FTT, Blend, and Custom (with each Prime set to use ½ my available ram).
Dual Prime + OCCT
Dual Prime + OCCT + SuperPi
Single Prime + OCCT + Super Pi
Dual Prime + OCCT + SysTool 1.0 Stability test (dual instances checkmark set to ON)
Memtest


All of these tests have passed for at least 12-16 hours. When Dual Priming each Prime was set correctly to use a different CPU affinity. Memtest was run for 24 hours. My config is my signature.

So, my question is why does Dual SuperPi fail? Through task manager I set each to a different affinity. I haven’t noticed a pattern of a single core failing. Max Load temps are: CPU 40c, PWMIC 50c, NF4 Chipset: 43c.

Maybe something in windows is messed up. If it matters that much to you then reinstall windows and see if it still fails dual super pi. IMHO if you did that much stability testing and nothing you do on your comp crashes (except dual superpi) then its stable enough.

No, it just happens I am an idiot. Didn't create seperate folders and seperate shortcuts like every thread says. I hope I didn't waste too much of the readers time. Sorry guys.

ha. same folder means they both try to write to the same output files = corrupted data = SPI fails. let this be a lesson grasshopper.
