Hi all, just after some general advice...

I have an i7 2700k GPU, GA Z77 D3H REV 1.1

I resintalled my CPU yesterday and knocked the heatsink into the MOBO, was worried I might of caused some damage so wanted to run Prime.

Which test should I use? How long should I use it for? And finally how many threads should be selected (Under 'threads to run')? It automatically comes up with 8 for me, but my CPU is Quad core - shouldn it not be 4 then?

Thanks
 
Solution
Run it on blend for 2 hours and let it do the 8 threads. THe 8 threads is because the CPU has hyper-threading, 2 threads per core.

One last thing mate, what should I be looking at from the results? Just no errors?
