Matsonic board testing

Well, I finally got around to starting an extensive load test on this board. The test suite will consist of the following:

  1. Memtest for 24 hours
  2. CPU Burn for 24 hours
So far, things are looking good with memtest and voltages are stable. I need to hook-up my data-logging DMM ($30 on sale at Frys) to see if things are o.k with the voltages. That will be done after the 24 hour memtest burn-in. This is a 5V based system, no question. Thankfully, the test PSU being used is a very capable Silverstone Zeus ST56ZF, built by Etasis electronics. I picked it up at a bargain basement price of around $50 or so. The original owner had problems with it tripping the breaker in his house, but that was not the PSU's fault.
