Stress test

Would I be right in thinking that Orthos is the preferred stress test for a quad core? Need to know as starting my OC tonight. never oced anything more than a single before.
Plus i use everest for temp checks, I find it pretty reliable but is speedfan any better or more accurate?
Thanks

Yes, Orthos is regarded to be the best for CPU stress testing. For temperature monitoring I would use TAT - (Intel Thermal Analysis Tool). Good luck mate.

How come when i stress test with orthos my max temp is 56/56 but with tat its 65+? sometimes hits 70 :confused:

TAT stresses the cpu a lot more then orthos does...
