Good Stress Tests for Cooling?

[Fatty 227]

I have a total noob question, so go easy haha. I just finished a threadripper build and I want to test system thermals to make sure it'll hold up. I'd like to run both a CPU and GPU  stress test so that I can get an idea of the worst case scenario. Is there a utility that will do that? Or is the solution going to be running like prime95 and furmark at the same time?

3DMark is probably your best bet.  It gets pretty close to worst case scenario.  Run it on loop for like 30 minutes, that should get you the result you're looking for.

I'd recommend P95 and 3DMark. Furmark breaks cards in my opinion.

OK! Glad I asked. Thanks guys!

Prime95 without AVX and 3DMark.

I like the fire strike extreme stress test, it’s a 20 minute loop. Unigine heaven and valley are good for the gpu as well if you want to build some heat. Then there is realbench, that’s not bad too. Uses a little of everything. For cpu and memory I like linpack xtreme for testing daily overclocks. You’ll probably want to turn your fans up.

OCCT and Unigine Heaven/Valley in stress test mode.

I let OCCT run for only 12 minutes, it didn't bring my CPU over 60c. I saw it doing something with my GPU. I haven't run OCCT since 2003 or so. Looking at what it does out of those 10 minutes, Id rather just run RealBench.
