Best System test software...? XP

[freakybeatz]

Mornin'

Just wondered if anyone can recommend a good all in one package for testing a new system build.

Something that can test the stability of your components, Ram, HD's Graphics, Processor, Power supply etc...

I know of Sandra and use memtest for my RAM and Coretemp for...well the core temp, but any of you system builders know of anything better that does it all...?

cheers

First off, welcome to OcUK

3D Mark 05/06 are good for testing whole system stability, as is a good session of Battlefield 2 etc.

If you want to test each component individually, then there's no one piece of software that will do that for you.

I use a range:

CPU - Prime Orthos Version (Dual Core)
RAM - Memtest 86+ and Prime
GFX - I just use BF2/Oblivion nowadays (my GFX benching is behind me)
HDs - I don't bother, Sandra has some HDD benchies, HDTach is good too iirc
PSU - Watch the rails in MBM5 whilst priming
Temps - MBM5 configured for all system, HDD and GFX temps
