How to Test Your CPU with AIDA64

The CPU or Central Processing Unit is responsible for all the core math that your computer needs to perform in order to work. While there are other processors in your computer, such as a Graphics Processing Unit for visual purposes, none of them have the overall flexibility of a CPU.

The last thing you want is for your CPU to die in the middle of something important. Whether it’s an intense online gaming session or an important video rendering that a client is waiting for, it’s crucial to know that your CPU can handle the heat. That’s where CPU stress testing comes in.

A CPU stress test is a software program specifically designed to give your CPU incredibly difficult problems to solve. It gives the CPU so many of these difficult mathematical problems that its full attention is demanded. The end result is a test of the maximum work that your CPU can do.
