Prime95 Red Icon

[maklabouhlel]

Hi. I just flashed my motherboard to the latest bios. In the description it says "V core Voltage adjust."

My pc is running at stock. When I run any of the prime95 tests (v 266), the icon turns red after an hour or so but all the worker threads are still green and running. It passes aida64, realbench, memtest and occt tests. Any ideas why the prime95 icon is turning red?

Blind guess; is it detecting thermal throttling? What are the temps looking like?

Believe it means that Prime is running.

I also thought the icon goes red when a stress test is running, then back as soon as the test is stopped. Do you have Prime running at such a high priority that refreshing the screen is only done occasionally and that's why the icon isn't going red straight away (long shot - an hour would be a VERY long gap!).

Red means (or used to mean) that at least one worker has failed, odd.

*EDIT*

IIRC the 64bot version of Prime95 had issues changing the icon color, could be it wasn't fixable /shrug.

Temp never goes above 55.

I'll give the 32-bit a try.

32-bit ran for hours without a glitch. Thanks for that.
