system stress test

[Todd Cole]

I use stress to check cpu/MB Temps under load to determine cpu coolers and
case fan performance.

apt-get install lm-sensors

sensors-detect   press enter at all promptsservice kmod start

watch -n 1 sensors

apt-get install stress

apt-get install stress-ng

stress-ng --cpu 8 --io 4 --vm 2 --vm-bytes 128M --fork 4 --timeout 10m

open two terminals one to run stress one to monitor temps

8=number cpu cores    10=minutes to test
