yes but will it be more accurate? as it is more stresfull than normal games and apps it will tell u if your cpu is 100% stable opposed to the 99% you wound probally get normaly. thats my theory anyway but im probally wrong :D

Generally speaking I warn people away from being too paranoid about Prime95 and perfect stability.
If it doesn't crash while you're doing the things you want to do (games, encoding, whatever) there's really no point.

Yea, I'm not to parranoid about it, but I run it for a while, and if it fails in the first couple of mins, I know there is something wrong, however if it lasts for a few hours (I leave it overnight when I think I have a stable clock) I decide it's fine. None of this 12 hours minimum for me, I have other things to do.

I agree with the if it works for what you want then it fine theory but...
I think its quicker to run IBT for 10 mins and know the CPU will survive anything then start up a game, encode a video etc and then have it crash.

lol nice signiture server guy, i was trying to scare the thing off for 5 minutes before i realised :D
i have just thought of a good use for this program, it will be usefull for servers (espessially for overclocked ones) because servers need to run months on end without crashing and they actually do need to be 100% stable. |

I have found this program to be very helpful when overclocking new builds for clients, because I can test for stability much quicker then before so can reach the best OC faster. When OCing for someone else, I think it is imperative to have as close to 100% as possible, as you never know how someone else might use the PC.

Yeh of course, but may I ask you don't use it on this forum. Let the bug invade another forum!
