Is there a program just to test NB stability?

[Sabreguy]

I replaced the noisy HSF on my IC7 w/ the Zalman aluminium NB sink, while removing the thermal pad, I'm afraid I *might* have scratched it. is there a program that'll let me test all the functions of a Northbridge for stability?

your northbridge is primarily your memory controller and AGP controller. serious AGP benchies, like video games or 3dmark would test that. for the memory bus, you could try memtest86 or sandra memory benchmarks in an endless loop. or just use the old standby of prime95 torture test.

Thanks.
