There seems to be software that people use to burn in/and or check the stability of their overclocks. I know about Memtest
http://www.memtest86.com/#download0 for testing stability of ram. I've heard of Prime95 (can someone link that here) as well. Would like to get a list of the burn in Software people use for new systems.
Thanks all for any replies.

edit: My bad moderator throw this into software forum
 
Prime95 for CPU, Memtest for RAM, flaskmpeg + 3dmark 2001 for PSU under full load.
defragging the drive while running FM + 3d2k1 would probably load it a bit more, but I like my data where it is, just in case...

Especially if you happened to be running one of those sensitive RAID 0 arrays, and you have about 40gigs filled that you really liked, and you see an error and your system crashes... to come back with a drive reporting an unidentifiable error that prevents your system from being able to complete that precarious, precious interleave between your 128-bit stripes... Ahem, I mean, using your data to test your stability is bad, mmm-kay?.... :(

SiSoft Sandra has a really good burn in utility for almost all parts of the system.

On;y if you are doing media encoding 24/7 or rendering or somesuch task. Generally, my CPU is at 0-2% CPU usage with about 8 or 9 programs running in the system tray.
