Question regarding CPU temp reporting

[ACHU]

So, is it possible that the event log showed the CPU max was 98C, but the CPU might actually reached 100C if the 100C happened between the 2 seconds monitored?

[Ian (PassMark)]

The default interval for temperature monitoring is 1 second.

The default interval from which the highest temperature is taken is from the start of the current test run until the current reporting time.

[ACHU]

The interval where the maximum temperature is measured is not configurable

=> What's the default interval for the maximum temp. measured?

[Ian (PassMark)]

The maximum temperature reported is from the start of a test run (not from when BurnInTest is started and not between 2 interim result reports). The temperature is monitored every x seconds, where x is configured in Preferences->Temp / Battery, "sample every x seconds". The maximum temperature is the highest temperature sample from the start of the test run. The interval where the maximum temperature is measured is not configurable and is always from the start of the test run.

In saying this, if you needed to measure the maximum temperature for just a specific test period, then you could write a BurnInTest script and have temperature monitoring turned off for the tests you don't want to monitor, and just turn on temperature monitoring for the period of testing you were interested in.

Hi, We used BurnInTest to test systems, but would like to know some more details about the event log. We have the CPU temp recorded every 10 minutes. The event logs will show current and max CPU temp. (Please refer to "event log.jpg")

1. Am I right that the max CPU temp is the highest CPU temp recorded starting from the very beginning till when the event log is, rather than the highest temp between 2 event logs?
2. If so, what's the interval that BurnInTest would record the max CPU temp?
3. Can we adjust the interval? If yes, how?
