WARNING: THIS STRESS TEST CAUSES EXTREME STRESS TO YOUR CPU... BE WARNED!


Some of you might have seen this over @ XS but have being playing around with it and think its pretty cool especilly to quickly test the stability of some settings..

anyways linky is here:

thread explains all about it certainly worth a look at and well it does stress your systems... get around 5-7c higher load temps than on Prime95 small ffts! :eek:

Used it earlier and ran a 1500mb test 20 times which takes about 15 mins and is meant to be eqivilant to 8 hour prime run... so far 4 hours in and my prime is holding nicely...

I ran it on my 8+ hour prime95 stable overclocked rig in sig.... it bsod in under 20 seconds :eek: :mad:

Under prime95 @ 3.6Ghz @ 1.46vcore max temps were 73C

Under Intel Burn Test @ 3.6Ghz @ 1.46vcore temps jumped straight to 82C then went to 86C and crashed.

Oh well...

its certainly hardcore :)

I find when I am testing settings its nice to do a short test like 500mb * 5 should throw up any really bad instability and then do like a 1500mb * 20 test to really give it something to think about..
 
If i set memory past 2100mb it errors out before it starts, not failed just 'encountered a problem' at 2099 its fine? :D 75C tops with an IFX-14 with 2 fans, Q6600@ 3.8Ghz 1.4V looped 20 times.
 
:/ Mine crashes after selecting the amount of times I want it to perform the test. Anyone else with 64bit vista home premium get it working?
 
Well Vista 64 Ultimate here, working fine.

But I don't know. I did the maximum thing for about 10 minutes and it didn't seem to be doing anything (didn't know it didn't display results until the end). At that point it was hitting 53oc max. E8400 @ 3.5 under Thermalright Ultra 120.

Then I ran it again, 500 * 5 as suggested. Got to 51oc max as too short a period to warm up properly and it passed :rolleyes:

Edit: I also did wonder what it was doing when the CPU load dropped for a couple of seconds, I guess thats where one test ended and the next began.
 
Got it to work now, seems that the first 100% RAM stress won't work so I did 1/2 RAM and that worked, odd.

Managed to push my Q6600 up to 59C which is 14C higher than anything else ever has.
