Kombustor vs Prime95 Temps

[Rohit Jackdaw]

My AMD FX 8320 at 4.2 Ghz maxes at 61-62c on Prime95, 60c on Overdrive and also all other tests. On running Kombustor with 8 threads set same temps. But when I simply typed it 64 threads it took my CPU to 64-65c and on running GPU Stress Test along with it temps went to 69c though. So is Kombustor more demanding than Prime95 ? Thanks.

along with running a CPU stress test? sorry your post kinda confuses me. anyway if you run a GPU and CPU test at the same time the CPU will be hotter since the heat inside the case will increase because of the GPU's heat output as well.

Running both together took the cpu temps to 69c. But even then in simply a cpu test temps were at 64c on kombustor but only 61c on prime95 though.

I'm sorry, I'm struggling to understand, maybe it's because I'm tired as hell.

Leave that 69c. While running Prime95 cpu temps were at 61c max but while running Kombustor CPU test temps were at 64c. I have heard that Prime95 is the greatest stress test ever. If that's true then how could Kombustor heat up my cpu more ?

what settings did you use on Prime95? and what CPU are you testing? you have to choose the setting for maximum heat output. also don't use it on one of the latest intel chips such as haswell, people have problems with it causing overvolting.

AMD FX 8320 Overclocked. Ran both blend and small ffts. On kombustor typed 64 threads in place of threads option.

The latest MSI Kombustor seems to have a CPU burn in program which is used to push a CPU and not the GPU

That was the program this topic is associated with. The CPU burner tool. In that threads section I typed 64 and began the test. Temps reached 64c max even though Prime95 couldn't do that.
