What's Burn-In Tool Hottest For You?

[manomanx2]

What burn-in tool heats up your CPU the most? I've found that dual Toast's runs my CPU all the way up to 47 celcius and my PWMIC up to 71 (dangerous?). The closest after that is a mere 43 celcius from Prime95.

How about you?

[Sentential]

CPUBurn is my favorite (aka Toast)

[r3w4]

I use Prime95 and Toast.

no S&M

[IvanAndreevich]

S&M here as well.

BTW, options for dual core and single core are not necessary. Obviously if you have a dual core you just run 2 if the program doesn't support multithreading like S&M does.

[WeStSiDePLaYa]

s&m is by far the most stressfull program.

[Makubex_GB]

I always run Prime95 and CPU Burnin-in at the same time, to really tortue the little sob.

[Bail_w]

i run my computer 24/7 with Rosetta @ home

[hawkeyefan]

s&m is by far the most stressfull program.

SnM with FPU test set on loop is just brutal. Prime small ffts and custom tests I saw high load temps of 34C, SnM= 38C

[icon57]

dual primes always cause my temps to run highest.

Prime works well for me. Lots of people don't set it up properly though so it doesn't fully tax your system. Once you get the priorities right then your CPU is not only blazing hot but you will also have trouble stopping it because the mouse lags so much

[Cranox]

I use S&M , best heatprog

[Cooper]

S&M all the way - hottest you can get

[NightCrawler™]

S&M... without a shadow of a doubt....

[JasonDTM]

CPUBurn + MPS Multi Tweak... 33*C Idle @ 2750 (1.6v) & 42*C Load

[mad mikee]

For heat:

S&M... without a shadow of a doubt....

For stability checking:

ROSETTA

S&m

[andL64]

just go with some allround benchc like 3dmark or anything else, but still doenst really matter imho

[k0nsl]

Agreed! Rosetta is great for burn-in and for determining stability.

I'm sure that you are all aware that by running Rosetta as a stability testing program you are actually hurting the project instead of helping it if your CPU calculations are outputting incorrect data (errors) which it IS doing if your CPU isn't completely stable.

[Kjaks]

Toasts, nothing gets your cpu warmer -that's TRUE.

Rosetta catches errors and send the WU back marked "Client error, computing"; any data delivered is invalidated. There are also regular checkpoints now, so if your machine falls over, you can resume a unit from its last checkpoint.

Rosetta ftw in long-term stability, just use Toast to keep a little load on with coldbugs.

Really? I dont run any folding projects but i just figured Rosetta was the same as Folding@Home.
