Testing hardware correctness
by Dovid from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5748H)
Hi,
What tools do you use when you get new hardware to test "hardware correctness"? We got a batch of hardware and we want to put it through it's paces. So far the tests that I did run were:
- memtest
- stress-ng
1. Watched CPU frequency and verified that CPU's preformed at 99.999% of capacity
2. Watched CPU temps to make sure they didn't reach any warning levels and stayed below.
Are there any other tools I can use that will put a system through it's paces? To be clear I am not expecting any issues but the client wants to document that all hardware is operating correctly.
