Stress testing hardware

[dovid]

Hi,

What tools do you use when you get new hardware to test "hardware correctness"? We got a batch of hardware and we want to put it through it's paces. So far the tests that I did run were:

• memtest
• stress-ng
  • Watched CPU frequency and verified that CPU's preformed at 99.999% of capacity
  • Watched CPU temps to make sure they didn't reach any warning levels and stayed below.
• Used scrub to write to every sector on the disk with a DOD wipe and got no errors
• No errors with smartd

Are there any other tools I can use that will put a system through it's paces? To be clear I am not expecting any issues but the client wants to document that all hardware is operating correctly.

the ones i've got are :

stress
phoronix-test-suite
sysbench


@Condobloke mentioned Namebench on another thread

@captain-sensible It seems that the tools are for benchmarking. Are there any tools that will give me a pass/fail to tell me if there are issues or if everything looked OK (e.g. temps were in range, memory looks ok etc.)
