Burn-in software for OC mobo

I just finished configuring my system and its slightly overclocked (K6-2, 380 to 400MHz).

Is there any software to thoroughly test or "burn-in" the system to verify that all is well?
 
go to athlonoc and download rc5 (they have a page for installing etc..). RC5 and Prime95 are pretty brutal on the system resources. Seti@home is also good but not as taxing as RC5 and Prime95.
It also helps to run either Seti@home or RC5 while running 3dmark2000 or Quake3 looped. That will tax the heck out of the system. If you have no crashes, your computer is stable and well burnt in.
 
My personal favourite is Prime95 running at the same time with Winamp.Prime95 seems to me the ultimate stability tester.Many times I overclocked and was able to run SETI, RC5 and 3D games without crashes, but Prime95 was crashing in less than 5 minutes.Most of the times a bit more voltage was needeed.SETI seems the most overclocking tolerant.It runs stable even when the system proves not to be 100% stable.Another programme which I haven't tried yet is CPUBurn:
