Overclocking Software **Recommendatons**

[Reedweaver]

Has anyone got any good software recommendations for overclocking and benchmarking?

I've been out of the loop for about 2 years on this. I used to use Everest and PCMark.

Many thanks.

Isn't there a sticky that answers this post?

Intel burn test, Linx, Prime95 are all good for checking if your clock is stable.

However, recentley I have had 10 hours stable of Prime95 before I shut it down, and my clock would crash on Starcraft II, so I'd go with Linx since it seems to be a better test of stability, however it will also raise temps more.

To monitor temps all you need is realtemp.

Many thanks, I did look at the sticky but it lists quite a few applications.

I was after what members recomendations were based on my setup.
