Max Heat on Haswell-EP

[H in OH]

Has anyone tried BurnInTest on Haswell-EP systems with loads of cores? These are the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 series. Does the maximum heat algorithm also push a system with dual sockets and 12-18 cores per socket up to a true maximum temperature?

The number of CPUs (Packages x cores x threads) that can be tested is currently 256 in V8 of BurnInTest (where supported by the Operating System).

This also means that CPUs across multiple processor groups can be tested.

Tried the trial BIT 8.0 on a system with dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs. Those are Haswell-EP with 12 cores each. Seems to run ok. However, in the test report, temperature Min/Current/Max values are shown for all CPU cores except that cores 6 and 7 on both CPU 0 and 1 are all "NA / NA / NA".

To help us investigate, could you please email us a trace log file showing the test run with temperature reporting?

Please turn on Preferences->Logging, Activity trace 2 (text) and set the Logging interval to 1 minute. Please run the test for a couple of minutes with the CPU temperature monitoring and send us the *.trace files to:
help [at] passmark [dot] com

Thanks.

Also, if you could collect detailed debug logs for the BurnInTest start-up and email us these, that would also be helpful. To do this, please start BurnInTest with the "-U" command line parameter (please see help) and email us the debug*.trace file(s).
Thanks.
