Go to the submit form and enter this information along with the spesifications of your computer. You should now have three different temperature readings idle, load and hard drive temperature. Immediately after you've finished the load temperature recording, you can write down the drive temperature reported by the S.M.A.R.T sensor inside the drive. Note: We're not looking for the peak temperature but the average temperature after the fans has kicked in and cooled the machine while under heavy load. After 10 minutes write down the load temperature (averaged) shown in monitoring tool. You can see the temperature raising if you use a tool with graphing. Let the machine run for 10 minutes for the temperature to stabilize. You will see that there are two processes called 'yes' using around '100%' cpu usage each. To verify that both CPU cores are under load, starting the Activity Monitor application in the Utilities folder. Therefore you need to open a new Terminal window by selecting File -> New and type the command again, like shown below: But with dual-core processors, there are two CPU processors and ONE application can only work on ONE core at a time. This will make one CPU core work as fast as it can. This will make sure you are not getting any outliers in your readings. Open a new terminal for each processor core.įor a consistent result, re-run the load temperature measurement three times. ![]() Open terminal and type 'yes >/dev/null', to abort press control+c.
