Intel processor stress test bootable usb disk/stick!

Are you're looking to have a bootable way to stress test your system without using windows because you use ESXI or another virtual environment.

First download the image for fedora intel image

I recommend you read instructions first on mac osx creating a usb bootable usb stick.

Boot up your usb stick in bios using boot from usb device or other as some bios machines say.

Once Fedora live usb stick loads up open the terminal window. To do this either click on the bottom black window icon or click applications -> terminal emulator

Once the terminal is opened up you need to install the intel software. To do this type in "/usr/local/bin/install64"   *if using a 32 bit processor the name will be install32 not install64

Hit enter key to continue

Type in lowercase "a" and hit enter to accept agreement.

Once it's installed close the terminal window and your desktop will have a new icon called "IPDT"

Double click the icon and load the processor stress testing software.

Once the stress testing software is complete it will tell you whether it passed or failed. Also take note of the processor temp's it says is under the max temps. This will let you know if theres something wrong with your cpu fan or thermal paste.

That's it enjoy.
