There are various providers of stress software which, using various methods, keep your computer’s CPU running at 100% usage for an hour or longer while it analyzes the actual performance of hardware processors — but we’ll get to that in a bit. Why is a CPU stress test important? There...
Hi team,I just want to provide a feedback about the disappointment that my computer cannot be upgraded to Windows 11. I've been a big fan and supporter of...
A normal CPU temperature depends on which CPU you use. Generally, anything between 40–65°C (or 104–149°F) is considered a safe heat range for a normal workload. While running more intensive apps or games, the normal CPU temp range can increase to between 70–80°C (158–176°F)....

With the new CPU, I had no errors after 5 hours of OCCT CPU stress test, with standard settings and with PBO Enhancement level 2 (80 °C), with and without Expo. After 5 1/2 hours, however, my PC apparently just shut down once (OCCT Stress test was still running), but I think ...
With any video streaming the CPU can run as high as 3.62 GHz and when it does the fans will run at high speeds, noisy. I fixed the fan noise by changing the Maximum processor state from 100% to 99% in the advanced...
CPU. The system is running perfectly and had a high spec when bought. I cannot afford to buy a new laptop just to to get Windows 11. Systems of this spec and age should not have built in obsolesce in such a short timeframe. A more sustainable approach to...
