Using this application to test can provide assurance that applications being run on the platform will not cause the system to exceed the desired temperature operating range. Future applications may demand more processor power and therefore generate more heat in the system. This would mean verifying that the temperature measured during the thermal test was below the target specification by a certain value. 10 C. Below is a list of some applications and software conditions that operate on some common operating systems. It is highly recommended that several applications be used to determine the worst case thermal condition for the processor and that thermal testing be done with the worst case thermal application.
Some applications require specific set up options or scripts to be in place for continual operation.
Make sure that the application will operate in a thermally stressful fashion throughout the duration of the test. It generates more heat than most of the other software applications listed below, and is available for several operating systems. Again, evaluating several applications on a system will show which applications cause the highest temperatures to be reached. 98 Prime95 ver.
