IntelBurnTest - The new stress-testing program

**andressergio** · 05-17-2009, 07:43 AM

Very nice AgentGod as winter came i have 22C inside my room and i was able to do a quick test of your app as this batch is very low vid 1,1875 i have to be careful with temps.

Cheers

Sergio

Nice chip, I want it

lol

Thanks

I tried new IBT 2.0 with an Asus Rampage II Extreme and a Xeon W3520 with HT enabled under Win7 x64 and I was not able to load cpu cores at 100%.
Is there any button/command that I haven't seen or is it an issue of the new program?

Great job, Agent!

Intel said in a documentation to disable HyperThreading before running this test.

AgentGOD, i just want to say Thanks for this great program. I've been experiencing problems for some time and thought it was a hardware failure because my system was 24+ hours Prime stable.
But Linpack failed just after the first loop. So I corrected the voltages and now everything works great.

Q9550 @ 4250mhz

MemTest86+ = OK!
IBT v2 Standard = Success!
IBT v2 Maximum = freeze

Updated IntelBurnTest to v2.1!
- Optimized error-checking code, reduces CPU overhead
- Now displays more accurate ending time
- Simplified graphical user interface further
- Improved color of captions in the GUI
- Added ability to override the number of threads for Linpack to use (as requested by users)
- Added display of progress in the title bar
- Now outputs current time for each iteration to log file (hh:mm:ss)
- Now auto-scrolls output list to the bottom as results are outputted
- Fixed a GUI quirk

Core i7 users, please confirm if the new thread-forcing feature is working

Thanks, and enjoy!

Seems to not be working? unless I did something wrong?

Try letting it run at least two iterations, see if CPU usage goes up.

**justin.kerr** · 05-20-2009, 02:31 PM

Same results?

**AgentGOD** · 05-20-2009, 02:34 PM

Hmm... try changing it to Auto/16.

**justin.kerr** · 05-20-2009, 02:35 PM

Lol, I thought the same thing, tried both, still same.

Hi, please check your PM for a beta version

#EDIT:
If anyone else with a Core i7 CPU wishes to test the beta, please PM me.

**AgentGOD** · 05-20-2009, 03:35 PM

Ok, I've updated the release version, please re-download via main link. Should work fine with threading now.

Also guys, if you could, please test using 64-bit OS and forced 8-threads on a quad-core (like a Q9xxx/Q8xxx/Q6xxx) and Custom memory size of 64 MB, with 10 runs. (Just a tiny experiment, I'd like to see)

Because according to my little experiment, my Q6600 isn't stable. Failed within 1.76 seconds of doing this test, but passed the Standard test fine @ Auto threading (4 threads).

See screenshot:

Agent, is it possible if you could add a module to support temperature display as well? I know we can run other temp monitoring program to do that, but it would really be nice if you could add a module so the correct temp of each core are displaydd somewhere also. Thanks...

It's possible, but then again, what's the harm in running RealTemp/EVEREST side-by-side :P That's what I do.

**Cyber-Mav** · 05-20-2009, 03:54 PM

i get that same error on my q9550 when i run 8 threads, 64mb test.

Well, I just thought with running just your program by itself without others, it may minimize other outside errors that indicate a fake instability whereas if we run just one program, the is no possibility of an outside cause, that's all.

**fatguy1992** · 05-20-2009, 04:28 PM

I just downloaded the newest version, awesome work, great program

If a temp monitoring program can cause that while your CPU is OC'd but not at stock... then it's unstable.

Could you try it at stock too? Thx

**Rattle** · 05-20-2009, 05:05 PM

AG

I have an issue

I set to 8 threads, 64mb in 64bit mode and it errors everytime

if a run linx with whatever settings including those it goes right thru?

LMK if you need more infos

try 16 threads.
