Stress Testing

[cb9fl]

My system locked in WoW a couple times so I'm running a few stress tests to ensure stability. I have Orthos and nVidia's Stability Test running, both have been stable for six hours now. Is there something else I should use to test the system?

Prime95 ver 251 if your useing a multicore cpu

I think OCCT is the best one out there. It is the only one that really stresses your system in a meaningful way.

Orthos, SP2004 and Prime95 are all just the same algorithm: floating point code that tests your CPU by computng prime numbers. It has a long history and has place but I think it is a crock in some respects. OCCT tests your whole CPU/motherboard by doing a lot of memory moves and SSE instructions as well. It is the most thought out test I have seen. It is not just to heat up your CPU either, although it does a good job of that.

Orthos tests both cores at once.

so does the prime 95 version 251

So does OCCT

I'll have to try that one.... right now my rig at home is primeing at 2.88GHZ on the stock intel cooler. I cant wait for that TEC cooler... heard great things about it.

I can tell OCCT is doing something more than Orthos because it slows my PC to a crawl, whereas I could even play some games with Orthos running.

OCCT is growing on me, if only because of the little guys hammering the CPU at the beginning.

can someone post a link to download occt.

 

[wdn]

can someone post a link to download ccct.

I suggest check out this thread it is all about OCCT and the developer of the software is a member of this forum.

Gonna check those proggies TnX!

I noticed that I needed two Burn proggies to get my E6600 Duo Core on a 100%.

I used CPU Burn-in v 1.0 and Hot CPU Tester Pro 4 (lite Edition) together.
