Cheers everyone... hope you had an amazing weekend.
I put together a new build over the weekend. The OS has been installed, and thus far the system seems to be "working as intended".
With that said, I was wondering what recommendations this community has with respect to "stress testing", "torture testing", or "burning in" a new build...
One quick note... at this point, I do not intend to overclock my machine. My build is already overkill for it's primary use (WoW, internet) and I am not knowledgeable enough to feel comfortable tweaking my machine.
prudent specs are as follows:
Case: Lian Li Lancool PC-K62
CPU: Phenom II 965
MoBo: MSI 790FX-GD70
GPU: XFX Radeon 5830
RAM: Kingston HyperX (2x2GB) DDR3 1600
PSU: XFX 650W Modular
HDD: WD Caviar Black 500GB
I downloaded prime95, and CoreTemp last night along with CPU-Z, but am open to other sugestions you have regarding testing the performance, stability of my overall build.
At this point, the parts are purchased and the machine is together so critiques on which components I could/should have used is a moot point... I really appreciate the guidance I have received from this site thus far, and I look forward to your thoughts on this topic. Thanks a bunch.
