jb6684 :
One of the main reasons I stress test a new system is to assure things are not getting too HOT....
- SpeedFan : download and run this, will tell you system temperatures....
- Prime95 : download and run this 2nd, it will heat up the CPU, would be good to keep Intel CPU's under 80C and AMD CPU's under about 70C. If you used the stock CPU cooler, there going to get this hot. If they get hotter, you install the CPU cooler incorrectly (you did use thermal paste, right?) Or, you have VERY poor air flow in your case.
You don't mention IF its a gaming rig? Next test would be GPU stress testing....
- FurMark is the program or just run a game in Benchmark mode....
Yeah sorry It is a gaming rig here is the parts list. I haven't built it yet. The last parts arrived from newegg, the rest I'm getting from microcenter. What about memtest86+? Should I run that for 24 hours like I have heard? how long should I run Furmark and Prime95. Could you recommend any comprehensive guides for stress testing?
