I use and recommend Burn In 2008, it's freeware and works really well.

I use prime95, i dont see why you would need anything else to be honest. put maximum load on any number of cores and log results.

Thank you for everyone. I do not need open source tools to stress test CPU. We ourselves going to create a tool which works in all platforms. I've found FLOPS, compression, encryption are few ways of stress testing CPU. If there are something else, pls revert.

I used prime 95 and when I found settings that are stable for 3+ hours ran Sisoftware sandra and the burn in test on it crashed immediately and I had to up the voltage 3 notches to get it stable in Sandra.

I find that OCCT finds errors alot quicker then Prime95. 3 hours isn't enough for Prime it needs to run for 8 to 12 hours to be sure where as OCCT will usually find errors within the first hour.
