Know your 100% load temp? TRY THIS - S&M 1.3

Prime 95 still will hold me for my stability test for 24/7. But I found a wonderful use for this S&M. In fact when we were live charging the Mach II, we used this. Gets to critical point faster than anything I know and will be perfect way to get good charge on a system where load capacity is so high it would otherwise take hours to find the temperature settling with baker evap :) FYI, this brings up my evap temp for another 7-10c vs prime 95 when running 1.95v about 3ghz. Good stuff indeed.

True.....good point.

Running M&S for an hour gives me the usual 2-3°C temperature rise on the evap.

On a completly stable pc this prog hangs it in about 20 seconds on the cpu test

temp reading was about 38 degrees and ive run stable @ 55c during the summer playing games

12 hours of 2x prime stable and it runs desert combat for 6 hours which adds heat from the passive gpu cooler

is lockup a k7 thing?

you know that could be...my temps were starting to get a little high...but I thought I could go for another few degrees before problems would start...the thing that really made me wonder was my PWM temps...1.8v Vcore Prime95 would take it to about 57degrees or so...this program took them to 62degrees in around a min. I guess we'll just have to wait until they release a newer version. Altho, my 2.35ghz overclock works fine...just no the 2.4ghz

Tried this last night and it does get warm. SuperPi 32m run gets my processor to about 40-41 with PWM at 34, Prime95 large FFTs gets about 46-47 and about 36 on PWM, this nearly caused a meltdown at 51 on the processor and 41 on the PWM. One question though, it didn't kick out any errors but there wasn't anywhere it seemed that it would show an error. If it generated an error would it stop working like Prime and SuperPI?

if it errors the window flashes a red border and it stops.

Alright, then mine never has....but I still have yet to see S&M get my cpu temps higher then Prime95.

Is that on a P4 with HT? Maybe try runnning 2 instances.

No need, whether I run two instances of Prime95 to do a FULL 100% usage......or one instance of S&M (which alone does a full 100%) my temps are basically the same.

So you tried running 2xS&M vs 1xS&M and it didn't affect your temps?

this is something I have to try!

never liked prime, wonder how my barton @ 2,65ghz likes it on aircooling :D burn baby burn

It's nice because it seems that using S&M to call your overclocks stable would place you on a "higher level of stability" for your day to day activities.....and I like it because it's just a set, 1 hour test.....and is a little more efficient.

So you didn't answer did you run 2 of them and got the exact same temp as 1?

Damn, what the heck is it doing to the cpu? Took a Palomino @ 1.67Ghz to 75°C in a few minutes.

ROFL I'm running this on a Dell @ school and it is burning up... I can hear the fan going way crazy muhahahaha...

edit: it's a 2.8B

damn good

+5 degrees over prime

Weird, I made a seperate directory for a second copy of the app like you do with Prime, and it won't let me run two of them. Am I missing something?

I am not sure. Maybe in the manual it says it supports >1 CPUs already. I just never read manuals, as you may imagine.

Just weird - everybody getting higher temps and you aren't :confused:

Let the Dell burn in HELL.

Yeah, can't quite figure it out myself.

For now though I think I'll continue to use S&M to "dictate" my 24/7 overclock that I'll be using....as I dont game anymore, and if the comp can make it through an hour of S&M it'll be good for anything else that I'm gonna be doing with 'er.

run the program, then move it to the other "processor" then start up another copy, I believe that will work

Sry....no go.

:::subscribed:::

decided to run the default processor test and get something to eat.

round 5 minutes into S&M my system shuts off. no luck even posting.

take everything out of the case and start swapping parts around.

Neo 2 dead as a door nail.
fx55, xtpe, gb gskill le tccd survived so Im happy.

funny thing is my neo2 always sucked big time. when it failed the mosfet area was roasting. When I was looking around to see if it had a smoked cap I actualy burned my finger touching one of the choke coils.

Im kinda glad it died. Now I can move on to another board, pitty there is no "great" 939 agp board yet. I need a good non neo2 board to tide me over till dfi 939 agp.

Ouch, doing the ~1hr FPU test right now on my Neo2 plat, better not go kaput!

Damn system shutdown as well, except it's not dead, yet... :stick:
