Stress Testing Software

[Robin Tibbs]

Hey there, just wondering if anyone knew if there was any windows software to conduct a stress test or burn in since I here thermal materials operate better after a certain period of time.

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions

I personally dont think burning in is of any worth. Just get on and use the PC to do whatever you wanna do!

Intel TAT (thermal analysis tool) puts the CPU under 100% load.

I agree ^^, i thought the thermal paste needs hot/cold cycles?
Just normal use should be fine. If you've recently built a whole new PC, i would run as many benchmark/stress test programs you can and make sure the system is stable though.
