Intel themselves said to disable HyperThreading before running the program.

Probably because running 4x verse 8x instance of Linpack will cause Linpack to run twice as slow. Since all 8 threads are trying to use the exact same execution units hyperthreading can't improve upon the performance.

I have no plans to disable HT because I will be running virtual machines and loading all eight threads... so I don't care if Linx runs 2x as slow. I need to ensure the system is 100% stable with the exact settings and features I plan to be using. :)

And belatedly, thanks for the update AgentGod! :up:

And for those of you who still care...!

Sneak peak of v2.0 beta! It even has an animation to let you know if your system is frozen or not, AND it outputs results as Linpack runs while it checks for any errors in the results produced. Stress level selection is now also much simpler.

Thanks. This is my favorite stress testing program. Any ETA on the v2.0 release?

I worked on it some more today and found a major bug. Fortunately, I was able to fix it :)

So, which of the following do you guys think should be added?
1. Display total time taken to complete the run at the end.
2. Minimize to task tray.
3. Some sort of Validation system like CPU-Z?
4. Display CPU name and clock speed.
5. More warnings and confirmation dialogs.
6. Changing the name to "CPU CoreBurner" or "CPUBurnTest" to reflect the fact that it has been working on both Intel and AMD processors since v1.7.

or All of the Above/Combination of above items?

Your feedback will be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks for all of your support!

Added logging feature today in v2.0! It logs output results, date, time, processor name, clock speed, total memory, and more.

Keep the name IntelBurnTest.

There's a program called ATITool and they don't change the name although it works with Nvidia graphic cards too.

I like the new look. Keep up the good work and let's see what you've got so far.:up:

It's all pretty functional right now :) I just want to make sure that I iron out all the bugs I can prior to the first release of v2.0.

Again, thank you all for your support!

I've never understood why people are shooting this program down. :confused:

Maybe I missed some posts here in the thread. :shrug:

You need Visual C++ 2008 Runtime, as stated in the Readme, which can be found here:

New version does not run nearly as hot as 1.9. Not as stressful?
