I would like to know any good combination of gpu and cpu application to see if my current cooling is sufficient.

the main components are:
AMD 965 at 1.45v and 3.8ghz
2x ATI 5850 at stock.

Current plan:
1. CPU: I'll run OCCT CPU for 20min, prime95 for 8-12h.

2: GPU: Will OCCT GPU be as harsh as furmark?
I really don't want to cook my components.

3. OVERALL:
Maybe I should loop 5-6h a game like Lost Planet 2 at 5760*1080.
if I loop for 5hours 3dmark vantage or 3dmark 11 it's going to be at a wery low resolution so maybe not good results?
 
never heard of OCCT suite will have to check it out.

here are my results so far withh OCCT:


1.45v 205x18.5 first time succeed OCCT 20min peak temp 61c.
2nd time run 30min and fail.

1.40v 200*18.5 first time succeed OCCT 20min peak temp 58c.
2nd time run 30min and past the 20min mark fail. never got temp reads.

So it seems to be 10-20min OCCT stable at Custom, Medium Data set, High priority. I guess mainly 1.40v 200*18.5 because of temperature is 58c.


I assume the fact it can pass 10-20min of OCCT means that it's game stable as long as my upcoming prime95 12h test is succesful.
