Intel burn test ?

[the_electrician]

Why does ibt fail after 2 runs running 8 threads even at stock speeds?

8 threads stresses the cpu to 100% while 16 threads puts approx 70% load on the cpu.
So why do people assume there cpu is stable after 20 runs as the cpu has not been fully loaded?

 

[the_electrician]

just double checked and 16 threads puts about 70% load on cpu on version 2.3ibt

I prefer to use LinX these days.[/QUOTE]

how long would you advise running linx?
I cant run my mc overnight thats why i thought id give ibt a go as the consensus is that 20 runs is sufficient.

 

[the_electrician]

defo a problem with IBT. ran linX 20 runs on max memory

 

[the_electrician]

I personally don't think it's necessary running IBT/LinX for long periods of time like this.

me too my house might burn down. no serious
i think you are right.
How many real time applications will stress your cpu and memory out for approx 100% for 8-24hours.
