Thanks George !!

 

Do you know because I get error at launch it ?

 

 

I try with 2600 K , at 2 cores active and with 4 cores active , the same error ... Why ?

set the affinity to only one core when multithread test involving grammar test is going to start

You need to set one core affinity when grammar is loading and then re-set affinity to all cores when the next test is loading

 

I made this video back in December with my old-dog 2005 camera. I should use camtasia studio next time and upload a better quality video!

But aplication dont run , show that error on launch.

 

PD : Windows 7 Ultimate x86

Oh i haven't tried it on win7, so I don't know if it works 100%. Have you tried running it as administrator? I've only tested this app on XP.

You can use my method as well.

On the fly priority change using a program ( Launch & Set affinity it's called if I remember correctly ), or a batch file.

I think I mentioned how here & on XS.org forums as well ( also included a video )

That's ok , I understand it , but the problem is the PC Mark 04 is aborted if I press one button.

 

How solve it ?

 

I set CPU 0+1 afinity at start , select CPU 1 and prepare to push button aply but when Grammar Check is running , I press aply and PC Mark 04 aborted normally.

 

Another video link ?

 

Thank's !!

You need to be fast.

Hit the button while the previous test is in de-initialization status.

Yeah he is right, I do it with task manager too, you need to be fast to not abort the benchmark, overclock yourself

Oh so it works fine then even in Windows 7? Nice I have to test some PCMark 04 as well with my 2600k

Work fine with Win XP , and 2 Core Actives !

 

Another solution for more Core active's is running wPrime for load CPU usage.
