What CPU testing software to use?

[Caladin9]

System built. OS installed. Do you recommend Prime95? If so how do I run it in FreeNas?

In my opinion the best utility to accomplish CPU-stressing. In FreeNAS 9.10 you can just do

Code:

wget http://www.mersenne.org/ftp_root/gimps/p95v287.FreeBSD10-64.tar.gz
tar xvfz p95v287.FreeBSD10-64.tar.gz

and start mprime afterwards.

In FreeNAS 9.3(.1) one can use the FreeBSD 8 version p95v279.FreeBSD64.tar.gz after providing a faked libcurl.so.6 (one has to be root to do that).

Code:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.7 /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.6

In my opinion the best utility to accomplish CPU-stressing to monitor temperature and fan behavior. In FreeNAS 9.10 you can just do

Aftr running the "ln -s /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.7 /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.6" command in root should I see a response? or will it just go to the next command line?

As far as I can tell any other response but a fresh prompt would be an error message. UNIX philosophy: No news is good news.

This command is only needed if the mprime executable in question has a library dependency on libcurl.so.6 while the environment only provides libcurl.so.7 (with sufficient compatibility). No need for that when using FreeNAS 9.10 and p95v287.FreeBSD10-64.tar.gz.
