EVGA builds CPU stress tester into BIOS

EVGA these days has a healthy selection of motherboards available, all Intel and all models that you already know. Interesting however is a new feature that they are embedding into the BIOS, it's a stress test for tweaking so that you can manually or automatically overclock your processor.

The new stress test allows you to test and stress from the bios to see if an overclock is stable or not.  That saves you the time to boot into windows and test there, crash and start over again. You can likely expect the feature to end up in the high-end SKUs motherboards. The test itself would be close to Prime95-like CPU stress loads, the BIOS will display frequency, voltage, and temperature of the CPU.

Clever, it likely won't be long before other manufacturers will do a similar thing in their BIOS. But props where props are due, this is very handy for any CPU tweaker.
