Best stress test/stability test

What is the best stress test/stability test and why?

Prime95 for CPU and MSI Kombustor for GPU

Prime 95 will force your CPU to run at 100%, so this is the best for ensuring your cooling is good on your CPU and that it does not have any stability problems, and Kombustor generates a 3D object with a lot of polygons which your video card will have to render in. Some of the tests will really strain the GPU, this is also a good way to test the success of your overclock and if the cooler can take it.

cpu- Prime95, Intel Burn Test, OCCT and AIDA64

ram- Memtest86+, HCI memtest, AIDA64, HyperPi and Prime95

 

gpu- Unigine Valley, 3DMark Vantage, 3DMark 2013 and every game you play

vram- Catzilla and 3DMark 2013

 

 

 

Prime95 goes hard. The longer you let it run, the easier it becomes to fail.

 

Unlike Memtest86, HCI memtest can be run from Windows. You can run as many instances of HCI as you wish and becomes easier to fail the longer you let it run. A HyperPi 32M run is suggested beforehand.

 

It doesn't matter what or how many gpu stress tests you can pass, that only proves you can pass those tests. Use your games to find out if your gpu is stable.

 

There's nothing worse than artifacts in a game. Run CatZilla when overclocking your Vram. It's a very good benchmark for finding artifacts.

I'm testing now on stock voltage in Prime95 runs fine at 50-60% but kresjer immediately at 100% or freezes

I'm at 4.6 so i`m at the very edge, but in AIDA64 can it run for at least half an hour at 100%
