Heat Stress Test


so not derail 100 c thread, decided make new thread. this apple discussion board topic linked outlines several methods peg cpu.

in terminal:

code:
$ yes > /dev/null
(repeat start second identical process)

code:
$ echo 'scale=10000;4*a(1);' |time bc -l -q &
(again, repeat start process. calculates value of pi 10,000 decimal places)

code:
$ openssl speed &
(you know ;) ; openssl speed calculations)

quit terminal kill these processes.

first 1 barely made mbp 5,1 break sweat (relatively speaking!). cpu temp peaked @ around 85 c fans remaining per smc fan control settings @ ~4300 rpm. pi calculation considerable more intensive, core temp reaching 95 c before fans ramped full blast. openssl behaved pretty same.

how work on 2010 mbps? thanks!! :)
 

none of these tests multi-threadded. best use proper benchmarking tool tax cores , threads.
