    hello,
    i recently received my p150em from mythlogic. i want to test all the major hardware to make sure everything is working properly, so that i can send it back to the re-seller if there are any problems. i don't want to end up identifying any hidden issues after my warranty expires. so please help me guys..

    basically i want to test:

    CPU
    GPU
    SSD
    Wireless
    Display
    cooling

    Please suggest me any software or websites that offer these services. Thank you!! :)

    CPU: Prime95 for stress test and HWiNFO64 for temperature/utilization logging
    GPU: MSI Kombustor for stress test and MSI Afterburner for overclocking and clock/temp/FPS logging
    SSD: HD Tune for benchmarking
    Wireless: inSSIDer for more signal data (the closer the RSSI is to 0, the better)
    Display: I have no experience with display testing software, but compared to my dorm mates' laptops, this screen is absolutely beautiful. It does have some ghosting, but nothing extremely significant. Think of the ghosting as a natural motion blur.
    Cooling: Speccy combines many readings in an easy to use package, while GPU-Z and CPU-Z are both great and more detailed options. HWiNFO64 includes many temperature readings specific to the processor.

    Display : LCD monitor test images + dead pixel test/videos

    SSD : well you really don't want to stress test this one I think. Do a AS SSD (check aligment + driver) then a 1GB crystal disk mark and/or ATTO(to impress yourself with some huge numbers)~~

    Cooling : large FFT prime 95 + kombustor/Furmark and watch the thing BURN WAHAHAHA ..(too much diablo got into me)

    1) You didn't buy from a reseller

    2) You do realize they did all of this for you, but if you wish to do it one your own - that's understandable.

    Just sayin - You bought from Myth for a reason! :)
