hand-made by OverclockersHideout!!

- CPU Burn - Danger Toy! - These programs are
designed to load x86 CPUs as heavily as possible for the purposes of system testing. They
have been optimized for different processors. FPU and ALU instructions are coded an

heat production from the CPU, putting stress on the CPU itself, cooling system,
motherboard (especially voltage regulators) and power supply (likely cause of burnBX/MMX
errors).
