Also can you talk me through getting low exponents, and how to set the B1 and B2 values pertient to using 10gb of memory. Was not really hoping to do 115mill exponents

Smaller exponents will also run at 100C.

Try running with fewer cores, that might help with the temperature. If we can't get the big exponents to run at a temperature you are comfortable with, there is no need to reserve some smaller exponents to test.

Prime95,

Thanks for the Mac version of 30.8b15. I loaded this version onto two older Macs (8GB, 4GB for P1 testing, using one worker and one core) yesterday and I've already found three factors, two which wouldn't have been found with the lower B2 bounds of 30.7b9. Using the same B1 bounds and even with the much larger B2 bounds with 30.8b15 the overall time to complete a Pminus1 test is shorter.
