|  What to run to test my new build? Hey guys...I finally got my new build complete. I was wondering...can someone please tell me which tests I should run (in order) and for how long to make sure all of my components are good and stable? I've heard of some of them, but I've never done it. I don't know if a cpu burn-in is a test or just slang for running a few tests one after the other. But any way....lay it on me.

| Re: What to run to test my new build? Cpu burn-in is a test. Prime 95 is good. Download CPU-Z and SpeedFan and CoreTemps. Memtest is good. I can't tell you which one in order though, because, honestly, i don't know.

 | Re: What to run to test my new build? Check out our list of Benchmarking and Stability Applications for lots of good links. I personally like Memtest86+, StressPrime, 3DMark06, PCMark05, and SuperPI. CPU-Z is great for confirming the speeds your system is currently running at and CoreTemp or the Intel Thermal Analysis Tool (TAT) works great for monitor processor temperatures (which I try to keep at or below 50șC at all times). The ATI Catalyst Control Center should display the temperatures of your GPU under the "Overdrive" section.  Last edited by gvblake22; June 22nd, 2007 at 09:40. | ||||||||||||||
