I've noticed that a lot of 'Overclockers' use different programms to diagnose their components when overclocking (i.e. CPU-Z etc) or test/abuse the said overclock settings (Orthos). Does anyone have a recommended favourite program for the differnent aspects of o/c'ing (heat/speed/bending etc)?
At the mo I've got

CPU-Z (v1.39)
PC Probe 2
Orthos
AMD Power Monitor

And they're testing

X2 3800 (939) @ 240.1
A8R-MVP MB
2x1 Gb V-Data PC3200
Powercolor X1600 PRO

Was wondering if there any more/better ones out there

CPU-Z 1.4
Core Temp 0.94 / 0.95 (I use both)
Memtest (best RAM stressing program IMO)
Memset 3.2 (to set timings in windows)
Orthos
SiSoft Sandra 2007 (for CPU arithmetic/multimedia scores & mem bandwidth)
Everest ultimate (mainly for mem bandwidth)
3DMark series (2001 for general system performance, 2005/06 to test game stability or graphics card OC)
ATI Tray Tool (for graphics OC and temp)
 
Thanks Steve. I've downloaded Memset, Mem Test and Sandra. I'll run them in a bit to see what I get. Not that I know what I'm looking for that is.... :confused:
