Magarena as benchmark/burn-in tool?
Posted: 30 Dec 2016, 19:01
Hello all,
I've been building a new PC for a few months. It runs on air and is undervolted. The goal is to get it so that no matter what I run, the fans will never spin up past idle. And I'm almost there. I'll have to de-lid my CPU ultimately.
For stress testing I use whatever the community says not to. For example, a certain version of Prime95 is said to be unrealistically heat-producing for the CPU. The interesting thing is that Magarena will cause my fans to spin even more than that version of Prime95!
So it would be neat to have a one click benchmark/burn-in tool using the Magarena engine. I could adjust the AI level etc. to accomplish similar but that is not a one-click solution.
I appreciate any ideas.
Thanks,
HB
