Re: Mersenne: Torture test passes but normal use fails!

[Aaron Blosser]

Maybe it's a case of the new version working *too* good.  The improvements to the code, like the prefetch, is doing such a good job of keeping the FPU busy that it heats up more and causes problems if you've overclocked.   That'd be interesting, if true.   Meanwhile, I hope and pray that any New York or DC (and other area) GIMPSers are okay.   Aaron ----- Original Message ----- From: Canart Jean-Yves To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 9:03 AM Subject: FW: Mersenne: Torture test passes but normal use fails! I had the same problem on my overclocked Athlon that started to produce SUMOUT errors when I upgraded prime95 to V21.   At the same time, I saw that the processor temperature went up from 45� to 50� Celsius.  To fix the problem, I had to reduce the overclocking and I lost 25% of speed improvements...   Regards, Jean-Yves
