So far i've been running prime torture test with sandra burn in looping in the background. So far so good. Anything else I should use?

I like to use Distributed Computing projects to test the stability of my machine, as I run them all the time, and therefore will make sure the machine is overclocked stably.

I run Seventeen or Bust on my machines, and this will stop if a computational error occurs, normally from a too high overclock. I don't bother with Prime95 etc, I just overclock until it won't go any further without causing errors to Seventeen or Bust.

I always use BMRT rendering for test,`couse it really uses proccesor 100% , but, that is a bit extreme :)

I use Prime too. Also Memtest86 for the memory. For video I run 3DMark01 and then some newer games like UT2003 for a few hours.
