New PC Component Testing

[DanManIt]

I am going to be building a new pc (I'm ordering it tonight), when I recieve it what utilities should I use to make sure all of the components are working properly? I currently know of Memtest86 and Prime95. Is there any other ones?

3DMark06, RTHDRIBL and S&M are good ones too.

Buy a $10 power supply tester and run it for a minute before connecting to the motherboard and drives.

The warranty on PSU's usually does not cover any components they fry if you get a lemon that surges and pops on first power up.

Prime it for 12 hours....
SuperPi 32M
Memtest 86+ for a few hours
