I'd start with prime 95 2.6 or whatever the latest version is and then move to intel burn test if you are comfortable seeing your cpu hit 70-90c depending on what cooler you have.

You could also try Y-Cruncher and Super-Pi if it's benchmarks you're looking for. Nothing will stress your CPU more than Intel burntest though, as the previous poster suggested. And if you want to test all round stability, then run P95 for 8 hours. If it passes, you shouldn't have any hardware issues.

Just play Crysis for a couple of hours. If your PC can handle that, it can handle anything.
