Stability + benching

[doofie]

Hi new to Oc'ing and I want to know what are some good test for stability and bench marking. The Equipment I'm using is

Aerocool VS-9 added two fans to the case from the stock two!

x4 955 be

Cooler Master Hyper N520

MSI 890fxa

xfx 5850xzafc

2gbx4 Corsair XMS3 DHX

 

I plan on Oc'ing the cpu, gpu and ram I am new though and don't expect instant results i just want to head down the right path as far as testing stuff when i do it. Thanks in advance!

The most popular CPU stress testers are:

 

Prime95

OCCT

LinX

IntelBurnTest

 

For the GPU you might find MSI Afterburner quite useful for overclocking. Though I always prefer to overclock by flashing the BIOS which is a bit more complicated and not necessary. All it does is set the overclock you've done in stone so it's permanent and it doesn't need to be loaded or anything. It's as if the GPU came with the clock.

Krazypoloc has all the good ones for the CPU.

 

for the GPU there really isn't a solid benchmark that will tell you if there is an error. OCCT does have a GPU stress test that counts errors, but I don't really trust it.

GPU:

OCCT

Furmark

MSI Kombuster(basically Furmark)

any GPU stressed game i.e. Crysis
