Hi guys ,

Any idea whats the best setting in prime95 when checking the rails on a psu using a DVM ...I want to give the comp a good load to see if psu values are correct when there is a full load on it.

Just having a play around to get a better understanding thats all

cheers

Re: Prime95

Torture mode isn't really a specific setting, it's more of a suite of settings that it rotates through. The settings that are actually in effect will be different depending when you check the readings.
Probably doesn't matter though.

Re: Prime95

There are three types of torture tests. Small FFT, in place FFT and Blend. I use In Place FFT to test a PSU as it consumes more power and puts more load on the it and use Blend to test a motherboard as it tests other things aside from just the CPU
