I need stress test for linux

[Ataxion]

I need a stress test for my linux laptop because sometimes while watching videos the fan ramps up and when I check it it is around 70c but when I tried stress tests that use the terminal the cpu tmeperature didn't go above 60c so I need a working stress test.

What distro?

Ubuntu

You could try Blender. They provide a number of files you can test witth: https://www.blender.org/download/demo-files/

 

Also, command line tools aren't inherently less intensive. I've found ffmpeg, a video encoder/transcoder tool, to sometimes successfully reveal failed overclocks.

 

A story about that: On a Windows 10 machine, my Intel Core i7-6700K was running at 4.6 GHz for months. Absolutely no BSoDs, crashes, etc. despite being on almost 24/7 (I sometimes put it in sleep mode). But then I went to encode a video with ffmpeg, and ffmpeg would either crash or watchdog timeout Windows 10. I lowered the OC to 4.5 GHz and it worked! Again, pretty much nothing else crashed. It was 100% stable in gaming and 3D rendering. It took video encoding to reveal it was not actually as stable as I thought. In retrospect, I probably could've raised the voltage a little bit or tweaked LLC to keep 4.6 GHz, but I probably chose not to because it was already running hard at 1.35 V which was a little high for a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO already.

bassically, it takes : and makes it send itself to the program twice. then, it sends it to it self twice every time it recieves it. so you hav 1, then 2, then 4, then 8, next 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, ect, over and over untill it just breaks everything.

Hi @Ataxion

 

For Debian based distro's you can use the following:

 

Stress:

Install with:

sudo apt install stress -y

run with:

stress --cpu 2

 

stress-ng:

Install with:

sudo apt install stress-ng

run with:

stress-ng --cpu 4

 

Geekbench:

Install with:

sudo wget http://cdn.geekbench.com/Geekbench-5.2.3-Linux.tar.gz

sudo tar xf Geekbench-5.2.3-Linux.tar.gz

 

//Once you have extracted the file, run the following command to launch Geekbench.

 

cd Geekbench-5.2.3-Linux && ./geekbench5

 

//when the tests are completed, you will get a URL link

 

Hope this helps you
