5、Stability test

In addition to the performance pass,Stability is critical to business,To be able to run stably for a long time without errors, without blue screen and without crashing, so as not to affect the work process,We will use the oven to test its stability。

Conventional thin and light notebooks use a low-load Stress CPU for the oven test,But in order to test the stability of this EliteBook,We not only choose the Stress FPU with higher load for testing,A more severe Prime95 oven test was also conducted to verify the high stability of the HP EliteBook 600。

The first is the Stress FPU mode in the AIDA64 system stability test,Test time up to 1 hour,CPU power consumption is stable at around 22W,Full core frequency 2.6GHz,temperature 76 degrees。

Then the Prime95 test,This test is recognized as one of the roaster software that puts the most stress on the CPU,Its operating principle is to use the CPU to continuously perform the operation of Mersenne primes,Put the CPU to a very high load。Select the SmallFFTs test in Prime95 (mainly for the CPU part of the test,It will also perform a certain filling test on the CPU cache),Test time is 1 hour,CPU power consumption 24.5W,Full core frequency 2.6GHz,temperature 81 degrees。

in the oven,Whether it is StressFPU or Prime95,full power consumption、Temperature and frequency are quite stable,no blue screen、crash、restart etc.,enough to see its high stability,Of course there's nothing to worry about in this regard。
