Running The Cpus At Maximum Speed

[givenall]

Does anyone knows or have a window program which make the CPU usage to go to maximum so I can see how hot the note book will get running on battery or battery and charger

google 'CPU stress test', 'CPU load test', 'CPU burnin'.

Whatever you download, better download from download.com or another safe download site!!

If you want to 'generate heat' you might want to include the GPU (the processing unit on the video card). If your laptop is equipped with a Nvidia or ATI card, 3D applications and games will cause the GPU to run quite hot as well.

google with similar search terms.

Prime95 will generate CPU load

ATITools (also supports many NVIDIA chipsets) and furmark will generate GPU load (and CPU as well I guess)

My overclocking and tweaking years are over, so I'm sure there are dozens of other tools.

Transcoding/encoding video will normally use 100% CPU,even on my high end desktop it runs all 4 cores at 100% or nearly.

prime 95 or SiSoft Sandra Lite will also do what you require.

Make sure the laptop fan is working and free of dust or goodbye CPU as a friend recently found out.

Laptop cooling pads are cool
