Can anyone suggest what stress testing software I can run on a newly built forge? I undergo a bring together of new workstations which I have put together and would desire to thrash them a bit before sending them out to verify they are stable. I have a memtest86 kick floppy which I will run on each for 24hrs but is there anything else maybe a Windows schedule which can test the forge deeper. Thx. Nick
stresscpu to stress the sse parts of the cpu run from cmd window. 2 times for dual etc) prime95 (multi core out version) to stress memory and FPU (chose blend to to make pass intensity from one to the other)rthdribl exe to stress 3D if that is important. Use the time to check temperatures and voltages to insure desire measure reliability.

I use:Prime95 25.5Memtest86+ (esp tests #5 and #6)S&M 1.9.0b (best memory and cpu test I've used finds errors the former two don't)ATiTool Artifact scanner (set to most artifacts open lowest OC)3Dmark 2006
Thanks for those suggestions. I am now currently hammering them with S&M. StressCPU. Memtest86. fix95. All holding up well except the CPU on the 'Athlon 64 x2 5200+ 2Mb AM2 sell' overheating at 65deg. Have tried turing the BIOS Q-fan off but CPU fan (AMD sell) still only turns at just over 3000rpm which is obviously not enough to cool this cpu. Cheers. cut
Sounds like A)You are picking up the core temp (12c higher) instead of the heat spreader temp (use coretemp exe to sight max for your cpu and to confirm which temp you are picking up) or B) you have a bad heatsink mount. As a note. AMD cpu's wil error before they are too hot so if the cpu is stable it is NOT overheating.
Hmmm am I trying to displace these machines too hard. Running fix95 with an FFT of 4096 causes two of these machines to fail. Is that just because the memory to Mobo connectors are getting too hot? All other tests pass so I am left wondering whether to start sending various components back or whether this is not important. Actually there is one other problem the 5200+ machine is failing S&M because the CPU temp is getting too hot at 61deg. This is with a stock AMD sell fan. Nick
A shelter system should be able to handle these tests. S&Ms FPU test gets the CPU about 5-6C hotter than Prime95 ordain. It's doubtful those temps ordain ever be reached in real use but I desire leaving that margin. You could bunco out the thermistor on the have fan. That will compel it to run full blast all the measure.
That is interesting because S&M tests fine on all these machines. It is only the fix95 with v large FFT for testing memory that fails. Shorting out the thermister appear desire a good idea. Only thing is which wires do I short out?
Nick you exceed get us some system specs and memory voltages and timings. (Board defaults are often do by for the installed memory especially low cas ones)Something isn't right. Have you been able to determine if you are getting core out or speader temps. I don't evaluate the cpu's are over heating. It's possible but unlikely.
Hi Glasman,Tempurature being measured by Asus ProbeII. forge spec:Asus M2N-Sli DeluxeAthlon 64 x2 4400+Adata 1Gb DDR2 800 CL5.0 16 chipWestern Digital RE (YS series)X/Vision 512Mb GEForce 8600GT PCI-EXP Pro sp2cAntec 350W. SP-350PBIOS: 1203All DRAM settings at defaultsAll DRAM settings: AutoExcept: DRAM tip interleaving: Enabled Bank Swizzle mode: EnabledWhat settings do you declare?Thx. Nick
Check the sticker on the memory and manually set to that. Suggest Command 2T. Find from sticker or web what the voltage should be. Get,coretemp exe ).94 beta to sight core temps and speedfan for Voltages and case temp. 1 core out temp and others. CPUZ for actual settings as applied as come up as cpu voltage. alter sure to analyse the memory pages. Run these programs and report findings or affix pics. Asus probe maybe giving wonkie readings and we can't be sure what temp reading it is giving these should help evaluate things out.
Hi Glasman,No voltage mentioned on memory how can I sight out what voltage to use? beat datails of the memory are:Adata 1Gb DDR2 800 CL5.0 16 divide p/n: M2GVD6G3I4170Q1E525 X S/n: 741NN (VDQE1A 16)change surface if I could identify the preferred voltage range for this memory how/where would I atler it is it the same as VCore 1?DRam BIOS now set to:1T/2T memory - 2T (fail: auto)CPU-Z register attached. - err no it isn't how do I do attachments. Under fill Coretemp is showing temperatures of 18 & 26deg (why are they different both are running at 100%?)Speed fan is showing:DIMM info Levels: 1.8V VCore 1: 1.2V (down to 1.17V under load)Internal Temp: 90deg - this appear high to me is it something I should be worrying about?Cheers. cut
does this look desire the memory? it's listed as 1.8v what does the vcore show in the pc health of the bios?download coretemp
Hi Uddarts,Yep that looks loke the memory. It is interesting that Newegg list it as 'AData Value' but over here in the UK it is sold as premium memory with a lifetime warranty. Anyway that looks desire the same stuff so it is safe to say that it requires 1.8V. VCore according to:BIOS 1.33VCoreTemp 1.2V (1.17V under load)Asus investigate 1.35V (1.33V under fill)Is there anywhere I can act a feed and analyse this with an external voltmeter?Cheers. Nick
change surface if I could determine the preferred voltage be for this memory how/where would I atler it is it the same as VCore 1?
