I use furmark for my gpu and cpu. For cpu's you can change the threads? thats weird. Maybe a simulation?

 

is prime95 good?

 

How long should I test for? Everyone saying like hours and days....how long do u need to test it before it becomes stable??? like a little overkill on the testing. 

 

heavy load?

I wouldn't recommend Prime95, it could kill cpu's if I'm not mistaken. I just use aida64

link. I searched it up but it docent even tell u the features

It literally just puts your pc at unnaturally high loads, which could be harmful for the components since they aren't meant to be used like that.

For CPUs, Prime95 for short test or Aida64 for longer tests. Generally you want to test for a long time so you know it won't crash on you at a critical moment.

 

For GPUs, use a game's built-in benchmark for short tests or loop Unigene Heaven/3Dmark for longer ones. For the reason you don't want to see glitching/CTD's in your games.

3D mark or 3D mark 11?

Unpopular opinion: I use Asus RealBench for CPU stablility test. It doesn't jack up the Vcore beyond my setting when stress testing unlike what I've experienced with Aida64.
