Question Curious what you use...

[SPECOPS70]

Hello all.

I use several programs to test certain components in my PC. I am curious what you all use to stress test CPU, GPU, ram, etc

Thx

Anything with about two cores can be tested with Windows itselve 😄.
I usually check temps while exporting Video Files ( CPU utilization ist around a 100 % then)
I've also used heaven Benchmark and the built in Far Cry 2 Benchmark for the GPU.

Cinebench R23 for quick gaming overclock testing.
3D Mark Firestrike (older cards) Time Spy for newer cards. Never really cared for RT, so don't use Port Royal.

HWMonitor 64 and EVGA Precision (in place of MSI Afterburner until I have to finally abandon my EVGA card)

I typically use memtest86 for memory testing, prime95 for cpu testing, furmark and unigine super position (one after the other) for GPU testing. Sometimes a borderline GPU will pass testing just fine on one, or the other, but I've never had a borderline gpu make it through both, one right after the other for 24 hours each. I use HWmonitor for temp monitoring in windows. the powersupply gets pushed plenty hard when you're running furmark and unigine superposition so those two also test that. I dont really have anything for pushing disk reliability though, with SSD'd they tend to pretty much just work until they dont.

Mostly what I use. I have never used OCCT. Gonna try it out. Thx

Mike, what is your review of this cooler:
Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360

I was thinking of buying it. Many reviews state it is a pain in the azz to install on an AMD platform. Any info would be great. thx

At this time I only really use benchmarks from CpuID and Intel to compare online. I wasted a lot of time in my youth finding out if my CPU or RAM could eke out a few FPS more.
