StressMyPC is a lightweight program that helps users test the stability and performance of a Windows system under heavy load. It is possible to apply stress to key hardware components, including the CPU, GPU and battery to see their limits.
Main unit
Users can push the processor to its maximum capacity by running intensive computational tasks. Diagnostics evaluate the unit’s stability under high loads. Thus, it becomes possible to reveal thermal throttling issues and inconsistencies. Moreover, the application runs graphical stress tests to analyze GPU performance under extreme conditions. Scans may identify stability and overheating problems. The test is especially helpful for checking overclocked graphics cards.
Set up
Just like HWMonitor, this is a portable utility that works with no installation. You can run the executable file and start testing on the go. There is a straightforward interface with an instant start button for stress operations. You do not need technical knowledge to use key features.
And last but not least, for laptop users, there is a tool to evaluate battery performance under stress. By simulating high power consumption, you can check the device’s efficiency and health. It is possible to see how long your PC is able to run without a charger and fix potential issues before facing serious problems.
Features
- a small app for hardware stability checks;
- users can load the graphics card to evaluate its capabilities;
