Ok. Thanks. I see Tuesday as a likely candidate for Prime95. I'll finish all the tests this week.
I'm assuming SeaTools checks my harddrive and won't like it much if I do anything while it does, right? Best to simply let it run and do something else, correct?
I ran the SeaTools Short Generic and Long Generic tests on the relevant HD. Both passed.
All I'm left with is Prime95, but I'm developing a feeling that it, too, will pass.
One last tiny set of questions about Prime95, as I'm gonna run the first test in about an hour:
Do I need to run the tests close to each other? Or can I take my relative time with them? Would running them for more than 3-4 hours be bad?
Ok. Thanks a bunch. Then I'll run one today, another tonight and the last tomorrow. Thursday I'll have the last of the results.
Any conclusions so far, anyway?
Just the two. Both on Thursday, if that has any indication.
I started up Prime95 and in a matter of less than 3 minutes my cores went to 70 and then one hit 82.
What now? Don't suppose I can run the tests if the temps hit this high this fast.
