Processor Stress Test - Tech Support Forums

FlyTags · February 24th, 2003, 03:50 PM

Hi folks,

I'm troubleshooting a computer problem for a friend, and I was looking for some sort of program to run the processor at full-tilt for a while. Preferably, Windows based, so I can monitor temperatures and such while doing so.

Any program recommendations? Thanks!

well a distributive computing prog will fit the bill I think!

Actually even better is Sandra 2003! At the bottom of the sandra window when you install it you can set it to do a burn in test. just set it to loop a few tests. 3dMark 2001se can do this as well.

SiSoft Sandra has a built-in Burn wizard that works well and it usually gives a pretty comprehensive report. However, I think a better program for your purposes is here:

This program monitors temps and stuff for you, and it's simpler than Sandra (burn in is all this program does).

Try it! Hope this helps!

~edit: blast! you have foiled me again Bob! Why must I type so sloooow!
