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 On Tue, Apr 2, 2019 at 8:19 AM Carruth, Rusty wrote: > That looks interesting (stress).
