Not sure about the IntelBurn test. This is what I understood. I use HWiNFO64 to monitor my temperatures and paying close attention to it while running the burn test.
From here I am supposed to run 3 tests -1-Standard -2-High -3-Very high.
But before doing this I am supposed to check what my cpu maximum temperature is. In going to Intel and looking up my CPU max temp (TCase) said 72.7 Celsius
The instructions said that if I reach the max to stop the test. Where do I read for this max?
There are 2 locations for CPU within HWiNFP one shows ' CPU #0 Digital Thermal Sensor ' whereby there are the different cores , with current,min,max temperatures AND there is also a CPU under Winbond/Nuvoton W8366HG.
Was I supposed to read the temp under 'Current' column or under the max column? I assumed the max.
I ran the 1st test 'Standard' and within 22 seconds the max already passed my TCase of 72.7 -- the max read 73 C and a second later when I went to stop it it was already at 74 C. Now, many minutes later, as I am writing this the max temperatures are still higher than my max TCase reading 73 C and 74C.
What does this mean? Am I reading the wrong place? Should I be reading only the current temp?
If I understood correctly then I am not reading the wrong place and my max was reached way too quickly. This would tell me that either my CPU fan and power supply fan directly above it aren't doing the job well OR the CPU overheats too quickly. If such is the case then the CPU or fans would need to be changed, correct?
Who guarantees the CPU? On the intel page it says, "Intel products sold as part of a computer system are covered by the warranty from the system manufacturer, not by Intel.." Who is the manufacturer? Mine is an OEM all part purchased separately and then placed together by the shop where I purchased it. If the warranty is based on my store of purchase then I'm screwed since the store is in Taiwan and I'm now back here in North America.
Results of my 22 second test were:
Time (s) Speed (G Flops) Results
22.319 40.0497 3.375460e-002
22.254 40.1676 3.375460e-002
At the end of writing this report I tested it again on standard and after 22.311 seconds
All cores read 72. C The CPU reading under 'Winbond' was 73 C. The speed read 40.0650 and results read 3.375460e-002.
