How many Heat monitoring tools or Software programs should I have?
I mean, I have HWMonitor , RealTemp & the Corsair Link Dashboard. What am I talking about, you guys, galls know them all.
Some people said that you should a huge amount of them. I have Corsair Link Dashboard.
So, anybody have any suggestions?

Sorry if I this questions has been asked before.

Don't know about Aida64.
The objective of a stress test is to run the cpu very hard using the instructions that are common to many applications.
That is a more realistic stress for most of us.
Prime95 uses only a subset of instructions.

I heard that OCCT & Aida64 can really heat up a CPU a lot and quite fast but you suggest OCCT.
I'll check that program out once I get a chance.

Thanks.
I just have one more question. Using a program such as Prime95, Aida64 and the other tested isn't that realistic is??
Honestly, If I used a program like mentioned above.
I just wanted to mention that I'm not OC
