Stress testing in Ubuntu

[ManWithBeard1990]

I was wanting to overclock my new pc a bit, and see if it works well by monitoring voltages and temps with the usual Windows tools like OCCT and CPU-Z, but it turns out you can't just take the harddrive out of the old laptop and pop it into the new pc without Windows saying that it's no longer genuine. Apparently that's normal behaviour for an OEM license. I don't want to buy an actual Windows license as I pretty much never use it, so does anyone know of some good temperature and voltage monitoring software in (k)ubuntu? The temperature readings I've been getting don't seem very realistic and voltage readings seem unavailable. Also some good quality burn-in test if possible.

You could just keep windows non-activated (it will work the same, it will just periodically bother you), do your tests, and then install kubuntu.

I use mprime for cpu and for gpu i just run unigine benchmark.

if you got intel cpu i7z is good tool to check temps and turbo frequency.

Just make sure you got lm-sensors installed on your system.

lm-sensors might work to show voltage or not, it wont on my system.

 

Edit. mprime and i7z are cli tools.

You can run a free version of Windows called Windows PE from a flash drive to use Prime95, OCCT, CPU-Z, etc.

 

Here is a link to a version of Windows PE with Nvidia and AMD drivers installed for mining.

That's almost exactly what I needed. Thanks. I'll look into it later.
