Hot CPU Tester

Hot CPU Tester is a system stability tester. It tests CPU, and virtually all part of motherboard units for errors. Therefore it can find over-clocked and defected CPUs. It, also, can be used for over-clockers to find out if their system is stable or not.

Hot CPU Tester has several modules which test CPU, caches, chipset, memory modules and other parts of the motherboard. It is most likely for weak or defected parts to fail while they are under heavy load and when the heat production is high. The testing modules intentionally overload all components to the maximum limits to exhibit their integrity. Unstable parts cannot endure these pressures and soon they will fail the tests. The program should run for several hours to check the system. 6 hours should be enough. If a system is stable under hard conditions for 6 hours it is likely to generate error. However, for systems with critical tasks, for instance servers, 12 hours is more reliable.

Main features:

• Written purely to test CPU, chipset & motherboard
• Uses SSE, MMX and AMD 3DNow! instruction sets
• Testing L1 & L2 cache
• Testing System Bus, Memory Bus
• Testing chipsets along with motherboard
• Monitoring CPU quality
• Testing modules are written in assembly
• Multiprocessor compatible
• Multi-threaded with high priority level
• Built-in anti-crash and error detector
