Hi list! |

Does someone know a tool that measures CPU performance and gives |
| 4 |
live-updates on it? |

My problem is as follows: |
| 7 |
I have a desktop PC where the case is too small to include the custom |
| 8 |
CPU cooler with fan. However, because the power supply sits directly |
| 9 |
above the CPU and the CPU cooler is reasonably effective, I've simply |
| 10 |
removed the fan from the CPU cooler and let the fan from the power |
| 11 |
supply act as the CPU fan. This works surprisingly well and usually, the |
| 12 |
CPU runs at 50°C. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
During tests with app-benchmarks/cpuburn, the CPU got as hot as 74°C. |
| 15 |
According to lm_sensors, this is the threshold for "critical" |
| 16 |
temperature (though I find it a bit low - I've seen CPUs running as high |
| 17 |
as 90°C). Therefore I suspect that the CPU gets throttled but I cannot |
| 18 |
verify this with cpuburn because this tool does not output performance |
| 19 |
figures. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Because of that I'm in a need for a similar tool that also outputs FIPS, |
| 22 |
iterations per second or some other figure while running so that I can |
| 23 |
monitor it for any performance drops. I guess I could just use mencoder |
| 24 |
and watch framerates or I could code something myself but maybe someone |
| 25 |
knows a better tool for this. |
| 26 |

Thanks in advance! |
