1) Pentium 4s and Celerons with L2 cache size of 256K or less choose a length 4M FFT when they could use an FFT between 1600K and 4M in size. Fixed in next release.
2) The on screen message reporting that errors have occurred during the LL test was wrong. The counts for “SUM(INPUTS) != SUM(OUTPUTS)” and “ROUNDOFF > 0.4″ were reversed. Fixed in next release.
3) Dual-boot users running a 32-bit and 64-bit executable on the same exponent may experience “Unable to initialize FFT” message. This happens when prime95 writes an FFT size to worktodo.txt and that FFT size is only supported by just one of the two executables. For example, the 2240K FFT length is supported for 64-bit Core 2 but not 32-bit Core 2. Fixed, somewhat inelegantly, in 26.5 — unimplemented FFT lengths are ignored when worktodo.txt is read.
4) Prime95 will sometimes inexplicably unreserve exponents. I think this happens when prime95 incorrectly calculates the CPU speed. Version 26.5 will only use a new slower CPU speed measurement after several slower CPU measurements. Hopefully, this will resolve the unreserve problem caused by a single erroneous CPU speed measurement.
5) Prime95 would lose the how_far_factored and tests_saved information on PRP= lines in worktodo.txt. Fixed in 26.5.
5) Prime95 did not offer an option to delete P-1 save files when a work unit completes. Fixed in 26.5.
6) Prime95 did not fully understand Sandy Bridge CPUID output. Fixed in 26.5.
7) Prime95 did not accurately report the CPU speed. Fixed in 26.5.
8 ) At startup, the workers threads do not start up properly until communication with the server completes. If you have a large worktodo.txt file, this will result in wasted CPU time and many “use count” error messages. Fixed in 26.5.
9) Time estimates for trial factoring to 2^79 and above were incorrect. Fixed in 26.5.

Fatal Error: get('adsPerSlot') in Admin Options don't exist (not an array)!

Download link: System Stability Tester 1.1.1 (134)

System Stability Tester began as a system stressing and benchmarking tool for overclockers, by the Greek pctechnology and overclockers community, the first months of 2005. Since its first release 0.1 is free and open source software. When version 0.7 came out in June 2007, the project moved to sourceforge.net in order to ease its distribution and gain popularity.

System Stability Tester tries to test the system’s stability by calculating up to 128 millions of Pi digits. It supports multiple calculation algorithms. For the moment only two have been implemented. The Quadratic Convergence of Borwein and Gauss-Legendre, the algorithm SuperPi uses. The testing process includes the creation of two or more threads. After each step of the calculation, the results of all the threads are compared. Any differences between them are reported. There is also the option for single threaded calculation, but in this case there is no stability check. This is useful for benchmarking purposes only. The calculation of Pi itself is multi threaded since version 0.7.2, for the Borwein algorithm only.

    description: Heavyload is intended to stress all resources of a PC (the CPU, RAM, hard disk, network, operating system, etc.) in order to test reliability under a heavy load. This is useful for testing important MS Windows file or database servers before using them for production, or just to check if your new PC might get too hot when used intensively. To stress your PC or server, HeavyLoad writes a large test-file to the temp folder, it allocates physical and virtual memory, performs complex calculations and it draws patterns in its window.

    description: For overclockers, Prime95 has a feature called "Torture Test" that allows maximum stress testing on the CPU and RAM. There are several options allowing the stress test to focus on the memory, processor, or a balance of both. Usually Prime95 will detect an error within a matter of minutes if an overclock is not stable, however many people like to let the system "burn-in" overnight to ensure long-term stability.

    description: * Voltage control layer has been seriously revamped to give additional freedom to extreme overclockers with new custom design MSI graphics cards. Now MSI Afterburner is able to control up to 3 voltages on custom design MSI Fermi and other future custom design MSI graphics cards. New adjustable voltages include memory voltage and special multi-purpose auxiliary voltage feeding either memory bus (also known as VDDCI on AMD graphics cards) or PCIE bus and crystal (PEXVDD on NVIDIA graphics cards) * Added core, memory and auxiliary PEXVDD voltage control for custom design MSI N480GTX Lighning series graphics cards with uP6225+uP6262 voltage regulators * Added core, memory and auxiliary PEXVDD voltage control for custom design MSI N470GTX Twin Frozr II OV3 series graphics cards with uP6218+uP6262 voltage regulators * Added core, memory and auxiliary PEXVDD voltage control for custom design MSI MSI N460GTX Hawk series graphics cards with uP6262 voltage regulators * Added core voltage control for custom design MSI N460GTX Cyclone series graphics cards * Added auxiliary VDDCI voltage control for reference design AMD RADEON HD 5870 series graphics cards * Added fan tachometer monitoring for NVIDIA graphics cards. Please take a note that not all graphics cards are tachometer reading capable. So depending on graphics card and cooling system fan tachometer monitoring can be unavailable * Optimized NVIDIA driver-level clock frequency monitoring codepath * Minimum clock limits for all graphics cards have been reduced from 75% to 50% * Dynamic overclocking, voltage and fan speed limits. MSI Afterburner no longer uses static slider limits calibration and adjusts the limits dynamically when some external factors affect it (e.g. Overdrive clock limits on AMD cards or VGA BIOS fan speed and voltage limits on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 400 cards) * New temperature hysteresis settings for software automatic fan control mode gives you additional way to improve cooling system thermal and acoustic parameters * Now fan speed limits (i.e. minimum and maximum fan speeds accepted by VGA BIOS and display driver) are displayed in custom fan speed curve editor window * Built-in skin sizes have been reduced due to optimized internal skin panels representation and optimized compiled bitmap cache * Optional skin compression ability in the built-in skin compiler. Skin format reference documentation has been updated to document new compression options * Minor built-in skins appearance tweaks * Now MSI Afterburner uses previously undocumented power user oriented startup mode via the task scheduler under Windows Vista / Windows 7. MSI Afterburner launch no longer requires UAC confirmation at Windows startup. Please take a note that Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 runtime libraries must be installed to get new startup mode working * Now MSI Afterburner automatically fixes startup link if or is enabled but the registry or task scheduler startup entry is missing * Startup profile is now displayed in option floating tooltip instead of the main window * Now power users can enable optional DirectInput based hotkeys handler via the configuration file. DirectInput based hotkeys processing can seriously reduce hotkey response time in the applications heavily loading CPU (mostly 3D games) and leaving not enough time for processing standard keyboard input message queues. Please take a note that enabling such sophisticated hotkeys handling mode can cause some system security applications (e.g. pro-active application behavior analysis module of KIS) to warn you about possible keylogging threat * Improved skin engine, now skinned controls support horizontal and/or vertical centering. Skin format reference guide has been updated to document these new alignment modes * MSI On-Screen Display server has been upgraded to version 3.7.2. New version gives you the following improvements: - Now screen capture events are identified visually by text message flashing in On-Screen Display during 0.25s - Built-in skin sizes have been reduced due to optimized compiled bitmap cache - Added On-Screen Display profile for Startcraft II : Wings of Liberty - Added configuration file switch allowing sending MSI Afterburner to system tray instead of closing on button click * option is no longer set in the startup task settings to allow automatically starting application via the task scheduler on laptops or on some UPS models * Added Korean localization

    description: * Added NVIDIA GeForce GTX 400 series graphics cards support (including voltage control!) * Added voltage control for MSI N240GT Low Profile series graphics cards * Changed marketing name for MSI R5670-PD512 in hardware database * Added basic screen capture support by means of built-in screen capture engine of MSI On-Screen Display server. Now it is possible to assign the hotkey for capturing screenshots in BMP,PNG or JPG formats on desktop, in DirectX or in OpenGL applications * Added hardware monitoring history logging support. Now MSI Afterburner is able to save history in native RivaTuner Hardware Monitoring Log file format. The log files captured with MSI Afterburner can be viewed in any text editor like Notepad or in graphics form in RivaTuner's HML file viewer (RivaTuner must be installed for viewing log files in graphics form) * Added new safety option allowing forcing constant voltage on some cards with voltage regulators supporting programmable dynamic voltage management (e.g. VT1165 or uP6266). New safety option may improve stability on some systems a well as provide power state independent voltage control on the systems with non-standard voltage control implementation * Screen capture and On-Screen Display hotkey events are now being processed via direct connection to the On-Screen Display server instead of command line. Due to this change Screen capture and On-Screen Display visibility control hotkeys are being processed faster now * MSI On-Screen Display server has been upgraded to version 3.7.1. New server gives you a lot of improvements including: * DirectX11 On-Screen Display and screen capture support * DirectX screen capture engine is no longer using DirectX runtimes to capture and compress screenshots. Screen capture and compression to PNG/JPG formats in DirectX applications is now handled by own more effective LIBPNG/JPEGLIB based library * PNG and JPG screen capture support for desktop and OpenGL applications * Adjustable JPG screen capture quality for experienced users * Screen capture support for DirectX10 and DirectX11 applications using multisampled antialiasing or non-standard frame buffer formats (e.g. sRGB) * Optional On-Screen Display 3D rendering mode. New mode uses 3D accelerated DirectX functions to emulate previously used 2D framebuffer access functions and render 2D text. New rendering mode provides On-Screen Display support in DirectX10 and DirectX11 applications using multisampled antialiasing and can also drastically reduce OSD related performance hit on the systems with badly optimized 2D acceleration in display drivers * Simplified On-Screen Display coordinate space settings. Rarely used desktop and window coordinate space modes have been merged into single framebuffer coordinate space mode * Now the server automatically selects framebuffer coordinate space instead of viewport coordinate space when viewport is not accessible (e.g. if pure Direct3D8 device is in use) * Improved application notification scheme during runtime profiles adjustment. Now runtime changes in OSD application profiles (e.g. OSD zoom ratio change on the fly) are reflected in affected application almost immedaitely instead of approximately 1 second delay in the previos versions * Reduced runtime skin engine memory footprint due to dynamic skin storage unloading * Improved race condition protection system for multithreaded 3D engines (e.g. Age of dragons : Origins and ArmA II) * Improved race condition protection system for the systems running multiple OSD applications simultaneously (e.g. OSD server, FRAPS and STEAM In-Game Chat) * Improved floating injection address hooking technology. Due to more advanced built-in code analyzer hooks can be injected deeper into 3D application code if stealth mode is enabled. These changes improve stealth mode compatibility with third party tools using similar stealth injection technologies (e.g. FRAPS v2.9.8 and newer) * Now stealth mode cannot be toggled during 3D application runtime to reduce the risk of crashing 3D application * Removed single screen capture per second limitation * Updated profiles list * Now MSI Afterburner distributive includes original 128x128 PNG application logo (stored in .Graphics folder) for dockbar applications like RocketDock or ObjectDock * It is no longer necessary to close the application to save monitoring window attachment state * [Stop the task if it runs longer than 3 days] option is no longer set in the task settings when using alternate startup mode via the task scheduler under Windows Vista / Windows 7 * Full list active of On-Screen Display server clients is now displayed in window instead of the most recent client * Floating tooltips help system is now reinitialized properly after runtime skin switching * Added Ukrainian localization [Kombustor v1.0.10 Changelog] * Bugfix: when PCB1 temperature was enabled in Afterburner OSD, the PCB temperature was copied in GPU temperture. * Bugfix: in ATI cards indexing. The sorting is now the same than Afterburner. * Bugfix: config file was not properly loaded when Kombustor is launched from Afterburner.
