Update 05/14/2020: Check out our comprehensive blog post on MIL-STD-810 temperature testing procedures and Mil-Spec temperature ranges ^[1]to learn more about how we subject our rugged computers to environmental stressors.

In this blog you’ll find a relentless list of computer stress test ^[2]software (FREE & PAID) which benchmarks and/or diagnoses different components of a rugged computer system.

As a bonus, I’ve also listed popular hardware monitoring tools that you can use to diagnose any computer related issues.

A lot of these tools are used by professionals in the rugged computer^[3] industry to help identify issues with computer systems. So I thought to share them with you – all in one place.

For your convenience, I’ve distinguished stress test software from hardware monitoring tools with two asterisks(*) next to the name.

What types of stress test software are we talking about?

• CPU Stress Test Software
• GPU Stress Test Software
• RAM Stability Tests
• HDD/SSD Utility Software
• Computer Temperature^[4] Tests
• Network Diagnostics Tools
• Computer Monitor Tests
• Computer System Benchmarks

Note: Some of the tools listed are able to test more than one component of your computer system.
