Re: CPU-z (so which is it?) Is it possible to do that with the free version? |

1 edit | said by fartness:Is it possible to do that with the free version? unfortunately not. OCCT has a gfx card stability test, but i think it relies on CUDA, so only works on nvidia 8600-series cards and newer. also ive never tried it so no clue how effective it is.
OCCT is probably the best all around stability tool. there's 2 methods of testing CPU, the prime 95 25.11+ engine and Intel's Linpack, a power supply load test (extremely heavy), GPU test, and i think one more.

oh i forgot about the Heaven benchmark. i havent tested stability with this (because my OC has been stable for 2 years) but it's the latest and greatest GPU benchmark.

Look Outside | I have a GTX 260 if it matters. |

| said by fartness:I have a GTX 260 if it matters. nice. you could run the OCCT GPU test and the Heaven benchmark without problems. If you're running Vista or Windows 7 you can run Direct-X 10 in Heaven and there may be a way to loop it, i'm not sure. you can run the OCCT tests for a time duration so it's great at testing stability. |

Look Outside | I'll give it a shot. I have XP Pro. Thanks. |

| with XP you can only run DX 9, so choose that from the heaven benchmark. you need to install Vista or Win7 (preferred) if you want to play supported games in direct-x 10. |
