Best way to create a LOAD to measure heat

[Johnbear007]

Please refrain from retarded "load" jokes


That said

What is the best way NOT in a game to create a system under "load" so that I can measure heat?

NOT in a game

Before anyone mentions a game let me repeat that for a 3rd time

NOT in a game

I dont want to do it with a game because if i'm in a game I can't truly measure it, becaues I have to either quit the game or alt tab out of it, in which case the game isnt stressing the system


thanks!

SETI + Prime95 + 3DMark simultaneous loops, you can exit them and still have a load.

- M4H

However, how long will I have once I close 3dmark?

What is the best temp measurement software? I tried MBM 5 but it doesnt work for me. it shows no temps ( I am on VERY new hardware, so its not like its because its old stuff)

Which ones?

What case/cooling setup are you using?

 

[Boonesmi]

did you try the new version of motherboard monitor that was released just a couple days ago?

and what mobo are you using?

First off, I hope you know you need to set up MBM5's sensor to each sensor on your board you want to monitor. (Sorry, must ask the dumb questions first)

This I got from MBM5's page on your board: NV400 L64

Board Sensor Chip: W83627HF
Case Sensor: Winbond 1
CPU Sensor: LM90 (remote) for diode + LM90 (local) for socket
Remarks: uncheck the box "Detect smbus before detecting primay" on the advanced tab

Follow what the remarks say, and see if that works.
