Are pre-built systems stress tested?

Just ordered a system through the kind people of Ocuk, and just wondered are these new systems tested before they are shipped using Prime95 etc?
My new system is a i7 950 overclocked to 4Ghz. Should I test it myself when i get the system or would that void the warrenty? yeah I know it's a silly question

Any advice would be great.

Yes it will be stability tested using various software. You might find you want to check it when you get it.

Definitely test it yourself as the conditions in your home are likely to be different to that of the OCUK offices.

I believe they test them all in a hot room to prevent them all breaking down the moment summer comes around.

Still worth testing though.

I'd test too, as couple people had problem with their OC'd systems, as they failed on prime, so if you have same issue, quick note to OCUK will help to resolve it!

This. Especially if it's an overclocked bundle you've bought, as changing power supply and graphics card can easily affect stability.
