Ubuntu Stress test for whole system - Recomendation Please...

[Memmento Mori]

Dear Ladies and Gents!

 

Hope your having a good start in the week.

 

I was hoping to find here any recomandation for UBUNTU stress test and stability testing (CPU/GPU/RAM - best all togehter...).... Please share your recomendation, experience, thoughts.

 

So far i just found the following:

 

 

1, Prime 95 CPU and DIMMS

2, Furemark for GPU

3, Passmark BurnInTest - is it worth the money? 

 

Any other options?

 

Thank you very much!

GSAT is great at stressing RAM and picking up possible errors.

RAM With Google Stressful Application Test (GSAT)

For Linux users, the Google Stressful Application Test (GSAT) is an excellent tool for diagnosing memory errors. Alternatively, you can run GSAT in Windows using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). However, it doesn't have the same effect, which is why we so we recommend using GSAT in its native environment.

1. Open a terminal and use the following command to download and install GSAT: sudo apt-get install stressapptest

 

2. Once installed, put GSAT into motion with this command: stressapptest -W -s 3600.

 

The -W argument asks GSAT to utilize a more stressful memory copy for the processor. Meanwhile, the -s argument refers to the number of seconds to run the tool. Unlike other software based on passes or cycles, GSAT runs according to your specified time. On the norm, one to two hours are more than adequate to assess whether you have a bad DIMM

GSAT is dope for Linux. Solid recommendation on RAM testing.

Since everyone is saying use GSAT and I agree, here is a little imformation and help for you since you're new to it.

 

GSAT stands for Google Stressful Application Test. It's what Google uses to stress test their servers.

 

To get it, open a terminal and type: sudo apt install stressapptest

 

To run it once it's installed, copy and paste this into your terminal:

 

stressapptest -s XXXX -M 29000 --pause_delay 9999999999 -W --max_errors 1

 

XXXX seconds to run. 3600 is an hour and if you can pass an hour you are probably stable, though I did 4 hours on my current RAM OC.

 

Hope this helps.
