WTF!
« on: June 22, 2009, 03:48:24 AM »
Hey guys,

I had a problem earlier where my i7 920 was overheating randomly...so I took it back and they changed it it and stress tested it and they said it ran at 44 degrees stable. I come back home with it and run Prime 95 Blend test and BOOM shoots straight up to 80 degrees in 2 minutes...WTF!

How long are you supposed to run Prime 95 for ?

Thank you
Luka

prime 95 is a program used for stress testing your processor.

Your temperature sensors are probably just off.

What power supply are you using? It is possible it is not getting enough power so it is over heating.

I have a 850W PSU....the case is sitting on top of a table plenty of airflow...and I found another story with the exact same problem while searching on Google...I think it may be the program *shrugs shoulders*...and it can't be the sensors because the people at the shop tested the mobo as well....what about hyper threading ? whats that and how do you turn it off ?...someone said I should.

You can change that in the BIOS I think.

Hyper-threading (officially termed Hyper-Threading Technology or HTT) is an Intel-proprietary technology used to improve parallelization of computations (doing multiple tasks at once) performed on PC microprocessors. A processor with hyper-threading enabled is treated by the operating system as two processors instead of one.

Just disable it, you've got 4 cores anyway lol
