Hey guys, I'm going to be overclocking my 3570k pretty soon but I'm having lots of trouble finding any information about prime95 other than, "It's the most popular stress testing tool", so I have a few questions about it.
A. What version to install (eg: 27.x)? I have 64 bit windows 7
B. How long to run it? I've heard of prime runs failing after 9 hours but I don't want to waste time needlessly.
C. How exactly does it stress your CPU (eg, what does it do to populate your all your cores/threads at 100%)?
