This will pwn it. Burn will know his daddy :p There is a link above that compares this prog to all the other "burn-in / stability" progs out there.

I highly doubt it. I'll run some tests at 2.2v :) I'm 100% sure it will maul this other program.
Time to fry!

Don't doubt it.. try it :)
hmm s&m reallly messes up my multitasking progs.
for example, i watch tv+prime95, to keep my vapo warm.
but when i use s&m, i get no signal from my tv card. it hogs too much cpu power. lol
just tested it. compared to prime i got about a 1°C difference, which is strange, but my mosfet sure took a beating. they went up to new heights. ~39°C, where before they did 34-35°C in prime or any other situation. anyway my memory craps out and throws in the towel before i could do a full run, but whoa... hot stuff :)

How come your mosfets are running so cool in the 1st place?
Thought I should add, the maximum amount of heat a cpu can put out is always 88% of its theoretical maximum.
gkiing
A general statement like that can never be true, sorry ;)
Well, he's right, but 88% is too general.
gkiing
And how do you think is the theoretical maximum calculated, btw :) Intel shows it's TDP as 75% of the actual max.

It may be different for different chips.
Burned me up
48*C @ 1.95v
drilled / cut up a former cpu-heatsink, put some tim (actually pads) on all the spots where it touches a chip and then to top it off put a 80mm fan above it allQuote:

Well, 65C is good. They go close or even more than 100C without sinks.
ALL
BTW, if you wanna screw your MOSFETs try the "Power Supply" mode ;) If I run that, CPU voltage becomes MORE unstable.
More xposure
S&m got my cpu 2c higher than k7burn. 4c over prime95.
I typically run p95 all day, i joined gimps. So kicked on S&m while the cpu was already hot, same for k7burn. YMMV.
This is all very interesting.....because running S&M just how it has been described does not increase my temps anymore then running two copies of Prime95's torture test for a few hours does.....
this tihng made my thought stable computer freeze, it reported no errors...just computer freezed when I was typing "So far my compuer seems sta-" lol I saw a new high for my PWM temp...it was something like 62degrees...CPU went up to 'round 54 before it stopped so...this board seems to read 2degrees lower than my old ASUS.

Seems like this software brings out all the temperature-related issues ;)
yeah and this brings up another issue as well. If this is the only software that stresses your computer this much...then whats the point? Its like this mem test thing someone did...stress one section of the memory more than anything ever will. Prime95 always brings out the highest temps out of all the rest of the things I do...then this program shows up. I mean this might be nice, but then again if this is the only program that stresses the processor this much...
jjcom
I understand where you're coming from....but it's moreso about creating or using a higher standard to "judge" our systems by so that we KNOW everything else will be fine.Quote:

good point, you know this could bring 'bout a nice discussion on how XS users feel about stablity...
jjcom
Yes, but the fact that this program is still kinda the "new kid on the block" isn't going to help it out in the "discussion".....cus everyone lives and dies by Prime. ;)Quote:

Prime 95 still will hold me for my stability test for 24/7. But I found a wonderful use for this S&M. In fact when we were live charging the Mach II, we used this. Gets to critical point faster than anything I know and will be perfect way to get good charge on a system where load capacity is so high it would otherwise take hours to find the temperature settling with baker evap :) FYI, this brings up my evap temp for another 7-10c vs prime 95 when running 1.95v about 3ghz. Good stuff indeed.
