    Cooling Stress test

    Anyone have, or know of, a good program to test the temperature of my CPU at 100% usage for a given amount of time? All I can seem to find are benchmarks for everything, which I don't need. I just want to push the CPU to max for a good while and watch the temp gauge and see if my current cooling solutions are enough...or if I need to upgrade.

    Speed Fan seems to be a monitoring program that can also control fan speeds and voltages. I have one of those already. I need a program that will make the CPU run at max capacity for a duration of time so I can monitor the temperature.

    Ya, I've used Speedfan, did a good job. Told me I was frying my PC with the stock cooling. >_>

    There's always the classic, Prime95 http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm

    Has a built-in torture test, I guess due to so many people using it for that >.>
