Overnight Stress test

[mattyg]

Is stress testing overnight a good idea?

What failsafes should be in place incase of overheating etc.

I'm at base clock at the moment but would like to run some tests overnight to check my AIO and fans placement etc before overclocking

I do it all the time with all my systems. Components generally shut themselves down if they reach a temperature threshold. I would have course keep an eye on temps for half hour or so before going bed as a precaution.

Overnight stress testing is the only way you want to do it, in my opinion. I'm not onboard with these few hour tests and hoping for the best. Temperatures stabilise fairly quickly, start your stress test at least 30 mins before you leave it alone and if the temps are still okay, then you're good to go.
