Nevertheless, our results are very similar. The Intel Temperature Guide differs in its approach toward the topic of processor Core temperatures and cooling with respect to Intel's TDP specifications, and distinguishes between steady workloads for thermal testing versus fluctuating workloads for stability testing. This article provides a perspective and some excellent comparisons. Since most users test their rigs without a sense of scale for power and temperature, they can't compare apples to apples, especially when combined with major variables such as differences in ambient temperature, hardware configurations and software utilities. It is possible to launch the CPUID panel from here and open the Preferences menu.As the author of the Intel Temperature Guide - I can fully appreciate how much work went into creating this outstanding article, which has been sorely needed! By pressing the “Clear” button we can clear the graphs, while the “Save” button can be used to take screen shots of the window. The stress test can be started and stopped using the “Start” and “Stop” buttons at the bottom of the windows. The module also shows battery status (if applicable) as well as the date and time when the test was started and the time elapsed since. On the Statistics tab, a summary is shown with the minimum, maximum and average values indicated for all monitored parameters.
We can select various parameters we would like to monitor using the available tabs (Temperatures, Cooling fans, Voltages, Power). On the graphs, we can monitor CPU usage and the temperature of selected hardware components.
In the log window, we can see when selected tests were started and stopped. Individual stress testing processes can be launched one by one or simultaneously, and can be enabled/disabled any time during the test. System Stability Test can be used to stress all major system components (CPU, caches, memory, hard disk drives) at once, and find any possible stability or cooling issues.
