Just finished a computer build, should I stress test or nah?

unless u tweaked some settings in bios like XMP or clock speeds
cinebench i think is decent enough
or intelburntest, it hits harder
unigine superposition or heaven on extreme/ultra preset
i would do it to make sure it doesnt overheat under theoretical max load

There is value in benchmarking the system, though, as it gives you a baseline to compare to later. If you ever feel like you aren't getting the performance you once were, you decide to upgrade something, or you're just have random weird issues, you can bench it again, and compare to the original state.
I decided to just run memtest to mainly test the cpu and ram, the components that I'm more concerned for.. Passed all 4 tests just fine for 3+ hours. So I think it's safe to say that I should be ok
