For Windows, Linux, etc a good disk benchmark problem is http://www.iozone.org/. iozone -l 2 -u 2 -r 4k -s 100m -F /mnt/YOURDISK/f1 /mnt/YOURDISK/f2 If you don't have IOZone and want a quick and dirty sustained throughput report try the following (read only):
dd if=/dev/sdX iflag=direct of=/dev/null bs=64k CPUFor CPU burn-in I like to use the client from the distributed.net project. It simply tests the strength of encryption algorithms. Since it does so many floating point operations the CPU gets a very good test and an opportunity to reach its maximum temperature. MemoryI like to use Memtest86+. You have to boot into it though.Another good one is HCI Design's MemTest which you can run from Windows. GraphicsI like to take some video game like Quake and run a demo in a constant loop.Temperature MonitoringIf your motherboard and disk drivers have sensors on them you can use CPUID's HWMonitor. It's free and is a nice alternative if your motherboard doesn't have software for temperature monitoring.NetworkIPerf 3
Server side
iperf3 --server --interval 2 --format k Client side
iperf3 --format k --bandwidth 10000M --interval 2 --parallel 4 --client 10.1.1.1 iperf3 --udp --format k --bandwidth 10000M --interval 2 --parallel 4 --client 10.1.1.1 If your router has OpenWRT you can install iperf on it for the server side. Games as benchmark/burn-in toolsQuake 3 ArenaYou can just download the official ID Software demo version or even the free community created OpenArena version.Steps to run in a constant demo loop:
