Version 1.51 Beta with voltage & temp monitoring :D
When i tested the program at stock speed (3.2GHz) it aborted due to low +12v voltage. Got a Antec True Power 430W. What do you think, is it my PSU that causes the fault or could it be something else? How accurate are the measurments?
wowzer, 65.4 C with a 3200+ newcastle @ 2475 MHz & 1.6 vcore; swiftech MCX6400-V and 75 CFM 80mm fan. thats at least 10 C hotter than my 24/7 temps ("100%" load then; F@H and S@H).
nCrusader - it probably aborted due to an error.
The voltage and temperature measurements are only as accurate as the hardware on your motherboard.
The program reported a low dip on the +12v @ 11.12v, which is very low afaik. I checked MBM and it reported a low +12v @ 11.55. This damn PSU has been giving some random problems undre heavy load, mostly in prime. I measured with a multimeter on 4pin and it reports a very stable 12.05 - 12.06v on the +12v rail under full load. WTF??
I got highend watercooling and a processor at stock should not fail a test like this.
got a copy of the older version still?
I would test with it to be sure its not an error.
ROFL there is a guy @ overclockers.ru in the official thread on this prog who took this prog to work and ran it on all the computers in one day. He had a few mobos and PSUs burn to hell @ stock ;)
I find it to be a very useful addition to Prime95, S&M killed my new Enermax PSU within 2 hours of installing it, such stress test conditions help identify sub standard hardware parts, many which may not fail under "typical operating conditions" (ie office work)... :D
:eek: I'm almost scared to run this new version...my computer already can't pass the test...and for some odd reason my computer has been running warmer...wait...my mom turned up the heat...maybe this is why I'm haveing trouble lol

its in my programs folder for good.. great program :D
So Ivan any luck on contacting the authour for an option to run the program for an unlimited time frame?
I did. He said there is a DOS version that runs off a bootable floppy like memtest does. However, it's not as convenient IMO. He never really said YES I will do it or NO I won't :-\
dude the floppy version, which then can be made into a bootable iso, is a great thing indeed. now does it loop forever or thats the part wjere he was flaky with you about?
The DOS one loops forever. However, it's 4% less effective in heating up the CPU :(
Can I please have a link for this :)Quote:

Thats weird. I had cheapo 235w PSUs in duron, celeron and t-bird rigs but they only blew after 5 years of moderately stressful operation (some oc, gaming etc)
do you have a direct link, my russian ain't what it used to be ;)Quote:

4KB heh
Tried the latest version of S&M on my Enermax replacement, passed two 1 hour loops of FPU and PSU tests.
thank you very much IvanAndreevich!!

Maybe you should do the review of that DOS version. Then lots of overclockers will be aware of it's existance and the author will be inclined to improve it further :)
Burn baby burn!
Ivan check out my Mainpage www.ksbrainstorms.com simply scroll way down when you arrive, and you'll find my little blurb on comparing S&M to SETI. I use S&M for all my CPU and waterblock testing now! In fact you'll find links to it in my latest review at the [M] on the Alphacol NexXxos BOLD WB; http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticle&articID=275

Nicely done :D
ALL
I woke up @ 7am today with an idea. What if we suggest S&M author to get together with Memtest86 author to make a utility with both of those in it? That would be THE floppy to have.
