After processor installation rituals?

is there any rituals you have? How exactly do you "burn" in a processor? Why do you do it and is it really necessary? Besides "burning in" a cpu is there anything else that can be done to it?
 
Hey.

For me, it's...hope I didn't FUBAR something and that it doesnt go up in smoke 🙂

I play Tribes 2, which happens to run my computer at about 95%, so it's a good enough burn in (to give you an idea, I can't even run Winamp without my T2 FPS dropping to like 5, seriously).
 
well my ritual is to fire up my fave games and play all night long..... to burn in a cpu you just run programs that heat up the cpu... now burning in a cpu is a myth.... supposedly after burning in a cpu you can drop the voltage down a notch and possibly gain a more stable overclock... but I and many others have experienced nothing... I have tried burning in several times and it was all for nothing..... and the only other thing I can see doing to a cpu is putting a better hs/fan onto it.. take care
 
SiSoft Sandra Proffesional has a Burn in Wizard routine. It will continuously run all the built in benchmark tests for a set period of time, say ten consecutive runs. Any inherent instability problems should become apparent.
