I'm new to Linux and learning a lot setting up my home server; however, I would like to undervolt/underclock my CPU a bit. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and the only good place for the server is in my bedroom. I currently have a P4 630 @ 3.0 Ghz that I think could run a little cooler.
The problem that I am having is how to properly run stress tests from the command line. I downloaded and installed stress and I have run a few instances of it, but it doesn't really seem to do much.
O/S: CentOS 5.5
Command - stress --cpu ## --timeout 10s
I keep bumping up the number of worker threads on the CPU and keep getting the same message:
"successful run completed in 10s"
I've also changed the timeout and receive the same message, except the 10s is replaced by the timeout time that I have set.
I've looked at Prime, but I didn't see any sort of Linux command line utility.
What are my options for stress testing modifications to clock and vcore for 24/7 stability?
In the GUI world, I would just run Prime95 and let it run overnight, but with the Linux command line I have no idea.
I did try using the resources listed at http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=486495 , but I was unsure of some of them and whether or not they would even work on my computer.
If this would be better in the CPU and Overclocking please move it for me, I put it here because it is specific to Linux.
