Title: Stress Test
Post by: AirFlyer on January 30, 2009, 05:34:24 PM

Found this monster of a program when I was looking for a new update of Prime95. Seems to stress my CPU more then Prime95 as it has actually managed to crash my computer(something Prime95 never did). Gets me temps up to a roasting 69C as well. Anyways for all yous curious here is the link.

If you're running a multi-core CPU, you have to run more than one Prime 95 at once (one instance per core).  Otherwise you're only stressing one core.  And if you did this, I have no diea how 100% CPU utilization is different from one program to the next.

Also, if it crashed...it's not a true stable system.

Prime95 will stress two cores.  If you're running a quad you have to run two instances.

The version I have automatically opens a worker for each core actually, guess it's one of the newest versions.

Yep, mine too and I can watch the tests being run on each core.

want to crush a system use OCCT... this will stress just the CPU or just Memory or a mix.  This is a system crusher, it wont hurt it but it will tell ya if your not stable.  Here is the latest version http://www.ocbase.com/perestroika_en/index.php?Download (http://www.ocbase.com/perestroika_en/index.php?Download)
