What software do people use to test components under full stress?

I always see people talking about temperatures of their components running under full stress for x number of hours.  I can't seem to find a program that does this, so I'm wondering what people are using.

For me, I use Prime95 for CPU loading, and Furmark for GPU loading. I also use MSI Afterburner and RealTemp for temperature measurements.

What domingo said.

 

Make sure to run Prime95 at Priority 10 for a maxed-out stress test.  If you want your computer to be usable during testing, though, then just leave it at the default haha.

For stresstesting I use:

CPU:

Intel Burn Test [As a quick test to see if the PC will stay on at all]

Prime 95 [12-24h]

OCCT [12-24] and it will output .png charts of every that happened.

 

GPU:

OCCT

Furmark

 

Monitoring:

GPU-Z / CPU-Z for clockspeeds

HWMonitor / RealTempGT for Temps [HWMonitor will show you all your temps including Mobo and GPU]

OCCT

Frost upon these cigarettes.... lipstick on the window pane...
