Benchmarks

[Blasphemy]

I was just wondering if anyone can tell me what benchmarking programs to use in combonation to ensure a stable overclock when I decide to overclock my CPU. I know that there are a couple to choose from, so I just want to know which ones have the best overall testing abilities. Thanks.

I usually use a combination of stuff, just as a intial test. I generally run PCMark02, CPU test, intially, then keep increase my overclock until it can no longer complete the test (Then back it down a step).

After you think you have your maximum stable overclock, try running Prime95 for a couple of hours, and see what happens.

In my expeirences if it can complete most benchmarks, it is "stable enough."
