Software to run pc at full speed

[Amida]

Hi Guys

I'm looking for software that I can use to run a PC's CPU and if possible it's HD and ram at full speed.

Any ideas?

For what? Benchmarking or to boost performance?

Use Prime95 for the cpu...

For the ram what do you mean by full speed? It's always running at the speed it's clocked to, as is the HDD.

Basically I have a user that complains about her PC being loud but everytime I get there it's quiet. So I want something to simulate it working hard so I can see what the noise problem is.

yeah lol thought people knew this already and people must also remember your computer is only as fast as your slowest component

#1 culprit is the CPU fan. Try prime95 or Orthos

You can try one of these, they're not free but you can download a trial version.

I'm not aware of any free alternative, but I'm sure if you looked there would be something available.

Easiest, and one that you can do at any machine.

Create a batch file, called stress.bat:

:dir

dir C:\ /s

goto dir

This will stress the CPU and harddisk. If you want to stress it more; simply create additional copies and run them all at the same time....
Quick, easy, free and painless....

Had a similiar problem once with a client and it turned out that walking on the wooden floor next to the PC made the wires inside touch the fan. So I tied up everything nicely and moved it onto a desk. Problem solved.
