CPU Burn-In/Stress Tester Help

[Burn-In Master]

Hello, I'm new to these forums and I have a burning question. Does anyone know the name of the burn-in program with adjustable cpu load (5%, 10%, 15% etc) that runs on windows. I tried googling but couldn't find anything. I really appreciate any info.

Hi and welcome!

I'm unaware of any programs that allows you to set variable load.. but is there a reason why you'd need that? Personally I run Intel Burn Test v2.4 for 20 runs, just for quick testing, then I run prime95 overnight and that's usually given me a fairly good stability test. Hope my input was helpful!

Oh, I might have remembered incorrectly then. It's for a math research project. I wanted to relate CPU temperature to CPU load. Thanks for the response.

If your research is highly technical you may want to note that the temperature produced by different instructions sets vary greatly. And, although minor, temperature will also vary based on how far away you are from the Fermi level of the transistors.

(I can hear the Fermi puns coming)

shoot, there was a temp monitoring program, that cycles CPU load from 100 to 0% in 10% intervals for like 2 min. To check if the sensor is working or something.

Lol, sorry I could not be of any more help.

I am sure you can find some sort of app that can apply a certian load.

You can try BOINC to approximate % Loads. Just set Processes to number of Cores and limit BOINC to % of CPU. Wouldn't be 100% accurate due to other things running though.
