[Q] Stress Test Questions... - HTC Rezound

I would like to stress test and I don't really know anything about it.
I am using SetCPU and went into settings and selected Stress Test. Then I got a box saying: "Stress test running... Device maybe unresponsive. Press back to end."
Does this mean it's unresponsive to the stress test or that it's unresponsive to other actions? Because if I hit back right away it's like nothing happened, but when I waited a little bit and hit back I got a test result.
So if it is actually running the test, how long should I let it run? Does it stop on its own?
What app does anyone recommend for stress testing?

I'm assuming you're testing an overclock? If so, it's pretty much the same if you were to run say prime95 on your computer. Set cpu will probably be running your cpu at max load. If it is unstable your phone will lock up or reboot, if one of those occur your overclock is unstable. Also what clock speed are you using?

I haven't actually OCd this kernel yet, it's at 384/1512 On Demand. I've been trying to figure out settings for better battery life but that hasn't happened so now I thought I'd try out OC and see how it works on my set up. Was just checking out the test to see how it works.

If you're still on GB a lot of people have random reboots once a day or so if you do 1.8 ghz. Seems our chipset can't handle anything over at 1.7 atm, this could be incorrect though. Could just be some software issue that hopefully be resolved once kernel source is released for ICS. Honestly if you're having issues with battery life just go for the extended. I'm on ICS and run 1.7 all day and have pretty heavy usage. I used my phone quite a bit in this 24 hour period as well.

Is it plausible to get the Rezound OC'd to 2.0ghz you think?
I remember on my OG Droid almost everyone could OC'd to 1.0ghz, but once you got past that it was hit or miss. Some people could do 1.25ghz, other people couldn't do above 1.0ghz so they'd get random rebooting issues. I can't remember what determined this, but it was some hardware that was in the phone that was slightly different amongst each other.

They say the max you can clock this chipset is 1.99 ghz. But a lot of people are having issues w/ 1.8ghz on GB roms, random daily reboots. Could just be hardware limitation, or the kernel code. Most are stable at 1.7 ish.

So how long are you supposed to run the stress test? Does it stop on its own? Is there a better app to use for it?

StabilityTest by Intostudios is also a pretty decent app. I've ran it for as much as 2-3 hours, I'm sure there have been some that have run it as much as 24. I know I like to run Prime95 on my home PC for 24 hours to ensure any OC is stable. Few hours, 24 hours.. The choice is yours. I'm pretty sure any unstable oc or underclocking will cause a random reboot within 10-15 minutes w/ that app.
