How to Properly Stress Test a Gaming PC

[LesenundDenken]

Going to force my PC to afford groceries and rent - ultimate stress test.

[fuzzylumpkins]

completely agree- cinebench unlike userbenchmark does exactly what you think it does- stress test with no bias.

[xcubicalyt]

Best stress test is to slowly ramp up chunks in minecraft u can include shaders too

I used it and my old CPU reached 95°C 💀

[MortiferaMortinne]

Personally, just run any game with 100 s€x mods and see how long your computer lasts.

In my experience an online cpu stress test is fine and furmark works great

[Friendly_Neighborhood_Dozer]

Furmark is good too, but I agree, cinebench is all you need.

[guitaristkuro]

My problem with cinebench is it has zero sensor monitoring. OCCT preferred as all in one program for that reason.

we need you to stress test a pc while doing the thug shake

[Shortsyyyyttt]

OCCT is by far the best stress testing software to detect issues

[freedychahine]

can you talk about the Computer Uninterruptible Power Supply Units and how to choose them correctly putting in consideration the budget of our setup?

[YOUR_NARRATOR]

MSI afterburner is my favorite for checking on performance in-game

[mlgtrollface]

Best stress test is ultra path tracing cyberpunk, pretty pricey but it has some other uses too

I stress test my PC by running the newest game i like on the highest settings and seeing how the system takes it.
I adjust things to compensate like overclocks, undervolts, fan speed curves, all that jazz.
If it runs good, it runs good. Simple.

I don’t know what happened, but I used cinebench and my gpu utilizations was at 30% max.

[Classy_Car]

i just use prime95 and furmark. They work well. Furmark like maxes the power load for the gpu out, so if its not what i need then i'll use kombustor

[gruphius]

I'd use Cinebench and Fur Mark at the same time. That way you're not only testing either CPU or GPU, but you're also testing your PSU and potentially even more parts (due to the added heat in the case).

[jimijamesnoob]

Gonna try it on my i7-7700 with my gtx 1060 & 32gb ram. She's "old" but still kickin arse!

OCCT is very good it can put stress on any component on your pc, meanwhile checking for stability and error checking (my English no bueno) it's free, gets often updated, and it saved my pc, i was able to diagnose why it is not stable, if you want to know details i can tell you all about it
