SiSoft Sandra (Windows) can do that sort of testing.

I've been having problems lately with vendors selling me shoddy H67 boards which freeze/crash/reboot.

I'd like to start "burning-in" all boards I receive for 24+ hours to weed out the bad ones right away.

What's the best software for doing this? Preferably free (or cheap). Ideally it would hammer the CPU (get it nice and hot) and on-CPU GPU (some 3D work). I don't really need to hammer the drives (wouldn't want to with SSD's anyhow!).

It would be great if I could have both a live-CD bootable burn-in program and a Windows-installable one.

I suppose in Windows any benchmark program that also tests video would be ok if it could be put on repeat mode. But most Windows programs that I know about are for-pay; but worse than that, for-pay per seat (and I may need to burn-in 100's of boards).

Any ideas? Thanks! _______________________________________________ Roundtable mailing list Roundtable@muug.mb.ca http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/roundtable
