Dual Core Orthos?

[Sweetloaf]

Can someone link to a version of Orthos that stresses dual core CPUs automatically.

Thanks.

Yes, thank you for that. However, having read on a couple of forums that some versions test dual core and some don't and that some that were supposed to stress dual cores needed two instances to be run at once I figured I'd ask on here to clarify which is the best version.

I have a 2004 beta version and my CPU usage was at 100% however Windows still felt very responsive which it doesn't usually when stress testing.

So to recap...

Can someone please link to a version of Orthos that will automatically detect and stress both cores on a dual core CPU.

Thanks.

I use that version of orthos on a dual core cpu and it does indeed automatically load both cores, the reason your system remains responsive is because the default priority if the program is low, if you right click on it in task manager when its running you can set its priority to normal or high depending on how laggy you want your system to be. Hope this helps.

(it has to actually be stress testing for this to be evident)

Cheers, I've got the right one then

Good good.

If you want to use something a bit more intensive than prime 95 then i would recommend trying linpack, only recently discovered it myself and i find it gets my cpu a good 5-10 degrees hotter than orthos

And don't come back saying it don't work or your read something, cause it does work on DUALS but not Quads without running twice.

Use the app in my sig if you want to really stress your CPU :]

Linpack is also very good, recommended!

OCCT?

I've used that in the past and passed with flying colours when Prime has screwed me over in seconds.

That's just my experience.
