Running MP3 encoder should load CPU a lot. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raymond" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Libretto" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2002 8:51 PM Subject: [LIB] Overclocked CPU stress testing? Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2002 09:52:21 +0800 From: Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Overclocked CPU stress testing? Hi all! Well I've finally sat down and overclocked my L100 (166MHz -> 233MHz) ... there's certainly a difference (for instance I can actually play Quake 2 or Diablo 2 now! Half-Life still chokes though ...) but one thing still concerns me and that is heat generation ... using it last night was fine but then again it was still relatively cool ... I'd really like to run the CPU at full loading for a while when the ambient temp gets up around the 30ºC mark just to make sure it'll work during the summer here. Does anyone know of a good program that can be used to really stress-test the CPU (doesn't matter if it's Win98SE, Linux or 2k, got all 3 running!)? My usual test programs (Final Reality, 3DMark99/00/01/02, etc.) don't really want to run (FR recons the DX version is wrong, 3DMark99 and above need 3D accelerators and/or at least 4MB VRAM). - Raymond P.S. David, if you're reading this, thanks heaps for your OC'ing page! I've got a suggestion for it however ... one thing that caught me out was that I was expecting to find the jumpers under on the back of the motherboard in the area near the hard drive before realizing that the component numbering actually started on the area under the PCMCIA slot and that the jumpers were under there ... perhaps it might be useful for you to add something like "... L100 overclocking picture (shows area on the underside of the motherboard, you need to remove the PCMCIA slots to see this)" to your overclocking page? --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
