tsamb. Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 What is the best CPU benchmarking software to heat up my processor? I want to test how well my system is being cooled and how acurately my fan controller triggers the temperature alarm... -tsamb.

andrusk Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Join our folding at home team and leave it on all the time. That will stress your cpu 100% forever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 yep it is 100% load 24/7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsamb. Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 I have been folding since the week I joined. But that still isn't heating up my CPU. Aren't there any programs that will run the CPU crazy for 10/20 minutes and heat it up a bit? -tsamb. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_target Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Prime95 always seems to heat mine up well.I don't know if I'd want to trigger the shutdown though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newport Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 lol just for kicks and giggles i started Prime 95 on my notebook.... the dang thing ran over 3 hours stable before i freaked out and stopped it. I didnt wanna risk messing something up and i didnt wanna put it in my fridge for fear of condensation (might be a little weird grabbing a keyboard instead of the apple). I wonder how far it could of gone if i had not turned it off I hope i just didnt hyjack the thread.. i had no intention of doing so.

bishop245 Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 it is possibly the best stress test program out right now combine it with folding and your cpu should shout for mercy i ran both for 18 hours and it raised my temp from about 48C to 60C for basically the whole time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsamb. Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 excellent... *twiddles his thumbs* I am loading it up right now, will then bring up my VCore and see if I can melt something... well i hope it doesnt melt, but at least singe some silicon... -tsamb.

Guest ThermalGuru Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Putting the processor on the oven in a skillet heats things up pretty fast. Other than that, I would agree with Prime95. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
