Computer Stress Test

[Schlup]

So recently, since I got my new CPU I have been putting it through the paces to make sure everything is running right with it and there are no problems.  I came across a very cool program and thought I would share it with everyone here.  It's called "Intel Burn Test" and despite the name can be run with any CPU or RAM.  It basically just cranks the CPU to 100% and cranks the RAM to about 92% and keeps it there for a while to make sure you system is in fact running stable and you aren't having any heat issues when the CPU is stressed.  The program is attached below.  Also attached a program for monitoring your CPU temperature in case you don't already have one.  Enjoy and if you have any questions let me know.

Well I had to shut it down in the first minute of it as all my indicators on the speedfan deal turned to fire.

Well they're supposed to...what you need to do if find out what your particular CPU's max temp is and make sure it doesn't get above that mark.  I've hit max temp on my new CPU already (62 degrees celcius) when I ran that program all night - 80 times in a row.  But it didn't get above the max temp so it was alright.
