Stability Tests

[Balishang]

I need programs to test for stability after overclocking on these:
CPU
RAM
GPU

There seem to be a lot of programs and i dont know which ones are the best. thanks.

prime 95 for cpu and ram
3dmark06 for gpu

Intel burn test is great for testing cpu stability and it takes a lot less time than prime.

IBT will stress it alot more than prime will. You can also use Pi to stress.

I personally like prime 95...thats just me though.

I don't have enough patience for a an 8 hour test. I done 5 hours and still blue screened once in awhile. Thats why I prefer IBT.

alright sweet im downloading ibt right now
while we are on the subject, what program(s) do you guys like to monitor cpu and ram temps while under a stress test?

 

[Luke]

I use coretemp for the cpu...i don't believe there is any temp monitors for ram though. I feel my ram to see if it is hot...but it is never, since i have a ram cooler.

There are a lot of cpu temp monitors out there. Everest, hwmonitor are two others i have used...but i prefer coretemp.

I use both core temp and everest. I like to know NB,GPU temps and making sure all my fans are running properly

memtest is also good for a ram only stability test.
