Full Load Utility

[SpaceC0wb0y]

What is the best linux utility to test my cpu temperature under a full load? My temp is a little high at 47 C idle so I want to test it under a full load?

Any suggestions?

I have never used linux, so i don't know if this will work for you, but a very easy and cheap way to test full load in Windows is to use the calculator and type in 15000, then hit the n! key which is under the scientific part of the calculator. I'm not sure what it does, but it runs the CPU at full load trying to finish the calculation, it takes anywhere from 10minutes to an hour or so. So if you have a scientific calculator with that key in linux then give it a try.

download RC5 from distributed.net
anandtech.com has a team of people running this client to help find a key and win a prize. It only uses your spare cpu cycles, and your cpu usage is always at 100%. The Disctributed computing forum can help you out in your quest as well, the poeple are real friendly and willing to field any questions you may have.

you can download the client here

and here are some FAQ's

you would be doing the team a huge favor, stop by the forum and check us out!!

I just tried it in win2k, took about 10 seconds.

Use 1000000000000.

If we knew more as to the specs on your machine we could advise you as to which Distributed computing project would tax your cpu the best.

Drop on in at the Distributed forum or check out the TeAm site for more info on all the different projects we are running.

that only took about 2-3 seconds on mine.. ??

I agree with Phatstyl about using the Distributed.net client.. not only will it accomplish what your looking to do but you'll also be helping out Team Anandtech..which is a good thing

give it a shot!

Will Evola Demo run on Linux? I have used Evola bumpmapped benchmark on my video card and I am sure it heats up my processor. Try something like that for an hour or so.

There is a single floppy version of the linux dnetc client. That way you can keep it on a disk, use for as long as you need, then go back to your regular system with just a couple of reboots.

Get Klinux client info here.. I can get you an ini file that you can loasd from the floppy if you would like. PM me if you need that.
