There are a million ways to cool down your Raspberry Pi: Small heat sinks, specific

cases, and some [extreme DIY solutions](https://youtu.be/WfQMLInuwws). stressberry is a

package for testing the core temperature under different loads, and it produces nice

plots which can easily be compared.

### How to



To run stressberry on your computer, simply install it with

```bash

[sudo] apt install stress

python3 -m pip install stressberry

```

Users of [Arch Linux ARM](https://archlinuxarm.org/) can install from the official repos

```

[sudo] pacman -S stressberry

```

and run it with

```

stressberry-run out.dat

stressberry-plot out.dat -o out.png

```

(Use `MPLBACKEND=Agg stressberry-plot out.dat -o out.png` if you're running the script

on the Raspberry Pi itself.)



If it your computer can't find the stressberry tools after installation,

you might have to add the directory `$HOME/.local/bin` to your path:

```

export PATH=$PATH:/home/pi/.local/bin

```

(You can also put this line in your `.bashrc`.)



The run lets the CPU idle for a bit, then stresses it with maximum load for 5 minutes,

and lets it cool down afterwards. The entire process takes 10 minutes.  The resulting

data is displayed to a screen or, if specified, written to a PNG file.



If you'd like to submit your own data for display here, feel free to [open an

issue](https://github.com/nschloe/stressberry/issues) and include the data file, a

photograph of your setup, and perhaps some further information.



### Testing



To run the tests, just check out this repository and type

```

pytest

```
