Team,
I see lots of discussion here and in the forums about Prime95 putting a lot of heat stress on the system, and being a good "torture test".
However other DC apps also run flat out and could be good torture tests too.
For example [EMAIL PROTECTED] has some discussion about overloading laptops, if you turn on the SSE extended instruction set.
And no doubt some of the Boinc apps do the same - Seti, Einstein, LHC, Protein, Climate.
Does anyone have a handle on which of these DC apps would load/overheat the machine the most ?
I don't think any of the ones above have a torture test where they detect wrong results being computed, like Prime95 does.
Cheers,
Greg E
