Hi Guys

Anybody know of any stress testing programs that run under Linux?

Similar to Prime95 and normal OC stress/stability testing stuff?

thanks in advance
 
Thanks for the info guys. I was beginning to wonder how to run a Linux only system and achieve a OC as well.

Time to experiment again :)
 
Memtest:
reboot your machine, hold shift to access the grub boot menu. Use the up /down keys to select memtest, press return. Leave it running for 12 hours.

Prime95 (dont type in the red bits below)
Download this
extract the compressed files
open terminal and cd into the folder that you extracted
type "./mprime" (thats dot forward slash mprime)
press "n" (for no, just stress testing)
press "return" (defaults to 3, which is blend)
press "y" (to accept)
leave running for 12 hours, if it stops you have a unstable machine

Nice one... very helpful. Can do a build from sratch now. OC and stress test and Windows = "Not required"

ty :)
