CPU Load at 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%

Hi all, Im designing a heatsink for an embedded PC. To test this I have to run theCPU (i7) at 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% to determine the varioustemperature rise under different conditions with different ambienttemperatures. Im a mechanical engineer and not a coder so coding for Windows 7is well outside my domain.…

Hi all,

Im designing a heatsink for an embedded PC.

Im a mechanical engineer and not a coder so coding for Windows 7is well outside my domain. Does anyone in here know of any program (benchmarkpossibly?) that allows me to set the load on the CPU? I have searched the webbut can find none but perhaps you guys know of one?

You could turn speed step off in the bios (dynamic load scaling), then manually fix the cpu to certain frequencies. Run a program like Prime95 or whatever to load the cpu.
