The title says it all. I'm about to put my new build together but I'm wondering if it's necessary to run for example a 24h Prime95 & Memtest on a PC that's not overclocked?

The best test since you`re not overclocking I think it`s the Memtest for your RAM, Furmark for your GPU, and afterwards just the games and more demanding tasks that you want to do on your PC.

If everything runs fine, than that`s it! You have a good PC :)
