PSU: cooler master v650
GPU: GTX 970
CPU: I5 4460

Do you that think running Heaven's benchmark or Witcher 3 for 2/3 hours, is a good stress test, i know about FurMark, but i'm kinda scarred to try it, what are your thoughts.

If it fails under Furmark it was gonna fail eventually anyway. That PSU while not the best isn't house fire quality. Most likely it will just blink out and shut down the PC die gracefully and then you know what to replace.

For me, the best and fastest way of doing it is just running furmark and see how long it lasts.
I had a CX600 which was crashing my GPU often and when I opened furmark it crashed instantly.
But generally it differs between people.

It ran for 4 minutes 50 seconds, did't crash, i just exited because i was in hurry to get to a bus stop, max temp is 67, however my room was pretty cool and the air conditioner was turned. This was without the overclocked settings. So what do you think. I'm gonna try with my overclocked setting to see.
