Hi there i overclocked my CPU but i need to do a stability check is there any programs out there to do a stability check for the CPU?

-thank you in advanced
 
Solution
if the cpu is at say... 75-80 now, during a sunny day it will reach it's thermal threshold an start to malfunction (first it will decrease the speed it runs at or at worse it will cause a bsod or restart)
If you really want to do a thorough stability check, you should run several. Prime95 is a popular one, but there's also AIDA64, SuperPi/HyperPi, IBT (Intel Burn Test, I don't know how well it works for AMD cpus), and probably others you can find by searching.
