Software for PC testing |
|
|
This is just software I use to test my PC. I use a lot of it for testing overclock stability, but I think everyone could get some use out of them. I'm sure most of you know about or use most of it yourself but, if you don't here you go!
Heayload.
Heavyload is intended to stress all resources of a PC (the CPU, RAM, hard disk, network, operating system, etc.

Core Temp is a compact, no fuss, small footprint program to monitor CPU temperature.
Now Vista ready! (x86 and x64)

cool glad you liked them. I have used a lot of other software and these are just some of my favorites. There are others that I use but can really mess up your system if your not careful so I didn't add them!

I would recommend using caution when using tuners for nVidia cards, its not really needed to get the full graphical experience in games. Those programs will and do ruin some cards.
