Hello,

What are the best (free) programs to use for testing while overclocking as of 3-1-2017?

There are so many I don't know which way to go..

I will be OC'ing the i5 4690k and i7 4770k..

Thank you in advance!
 
MERGED QUESTION
Question from mynetflix38 : "In game Monitoring Software"



MSI Afterburner. Set On Screen Display settings within the Monitoring tab.

Wait, I'm confused. I get that these two threads are by the same user, but they're different topics.

For stress testing the OC, Prime95 V26.6 burn in test for 24H. If you'd like another programs opinion, AIDA64 Extreme also has good OC stability testing features.

For monitoring temps, clocks, usage, etc as an overlay on your games, I recommend MSI Afterburner.
