#INTEL BURN TEST INTEL PROCESSOR DIAGNOSTIC TOOL VERIFICATION#

The laptop I'm typing from (custom built Clevo) has a slight overclock.

P95 allows us to cycle it up to 85+ and drop it to room temp 4-5 times to cure the TIM. We use P95 on a new build to quickly bring CPU Temps up to levels we never will or want to see during the CPUs lifetime. Been there, done that.ĭ) After you do the stability test, when is the next time you have a need to run P95 ? Synthetics came into common usage when folks were testing the water cooling systems for adequacy and it became the holy grail for those aching to get their name on web site OC Leader Boards The fact remains, it's a poor tool for 'Real World' CPU Stability Testing.Ī) Most time an older version is run as the newer versions w/ AVX and modern instruction sets can damage the CPUī) So the 'Well it's not really stable unless it passes Prime 95' is kinda silly because if using the older version, it is not necessarily stable with modern instruction sets.Ĭ) You can have 24 hour stable P95 OCs fail in a multitasking benchmark like RoG Real Bench in 20 minutes. Would you evaluate a potential baseball draft choice by only throwing him fast balls ? What if he can't hit a curve ? P95 is a 200 mph fastball. Living in an area that sees significant snow and sleet, would you choose all season tires based only upon testing in only one weather condition ?Ĥ. Would you test if your SUV could handle towing your new 450 pound SkiDoo / Trailer 12 miles to the beach sea level) by towing a 12,000 pound trailer up and over the Rocky Mountains ? It will never, ever see that load or that altitude. or running loads it will never see ? It like picking a CPU for your next build that has 'more cores' when you don't use any applications that actually benefit from more cores.ġ Would you test an new 500 pound engine hoist by lifting 2000 pounds ? It will never see that load.Ģ.

if it will never, ever, ever see that type load ? If the goal to eek the best performance you can running loads your system might actually be exposed to. What is the point or proving that yoiur system can do something it will never, ever be asked to do again ? Why unnecessarily reduce yiur OC or decrease performance by undervolting based upon a load your system will never ever see ? 'Well if it's stable in everything but P95, it's not good enough?' Why. Today, testing with synthetics is not really an appropriate strategy. but that was 20 years ago and things change. As a novice some Guru suggested an utility to test something and that guy knew everything. Most of us got started w/ stress testing in the 90s when ou water cooling systems were either new products or user re-application of components from other sources. (That obviously isn't to say that there aren't other laptops out there that last as long or even longer, they're just an easy example to use.) So while there are obviously other benefits to undervolting (better turbo, more battery life), don't worry about it if you aren't able to lower your thermals, at least as long as you aren't throttling and losing performance. (And the limit is obviously set lower than what the silicon could actually handle.) Just look at Apple's laptops: they run hot as all hell and throttle like there's no tomorrow, all to stay slim and quiet, yet they also have a well deserved reputation for longevity. The CPU has built in protection circuitry to avoid any type of thermal damage, and there is no evidence suggesting that the CPU takes any kind of damage from running at TJmax for extended periods of time - it'll simply throttle down to avoid going over the limit. You can able to open test results text file using notepad from file menu and can be saved for future reference.A bit unrelated to the topic - undervolting might be worthwhile despite this - but you really shouldn't worry about those thermals. The test will run for 4 or more minutes, when the test is completed, test results with Pass or Fail status will be shown. Run IPDT, this tool will automatically starts testing Intel Processor in your Computer. Intel Processer diagnostic tool (IPDT) also can be configured to run or skip individual default configuration that are used for this mode of operation.

#INTEL BURN TEST INTEL PROCESSOR DIAGNOSTIC TOOL VERIFICATION#

This tool performs diagnostic check for brand identification, verifies processor operating frequency, test specific processor features and also performs stress test on the processor.Īfter installing this tool you can able to configure it to execute in one or two modes, presence test mode or verification mode. Intel Processor diagnostic tool verifies the functionality of the Intel microprocessor.
