CPU Stress and Burn In Program...

[SkullDeathWolfReaper]

Hey all,

I don't think there is much of a debate whether burning in actually helps the processor. I believe it can only help with stability but I am at a loss for a program that is really going to cripple my processor for 12-24 hour periods of time. I tried a freeware one called Lucifer and it didn't seem to do it.

You can loop 3Dmark 2000 for hours but my Geforce gets hot compared to my processor getting terribly strained. Winstone I didn't think would cut it since it is mainly just benchmarking.

I am trying to get away from reinstalling Unreal and quake3 just to burn in my processor if anyone has a good idea. Something that is just pure number crunching hell.

thanks

Prime95, or some of the distributed computing programs.

Seti@Home, RC5, and prime all will work great for this.

I use SETI@Home, Prime95, and then run 3DMark2000 in a loop.. For at least 48hrs..

I don't believe that for a second.

Anyways, another program is BurnP6, but personally I think you should just run dnet's OGR to help us out. 😉
