What should the burn in time before you hit peak performance?

What should I do to help the burn in process?

Thanks for all of your help.

72 hours and keep stress testing right after building it, after that I usually see best performance gains within a couple of weeks after letting things settle in.

Edit: I like looping 3d mk 2k1, with some Sandra burn in wizard and a cpu stress proggie that I have. Figure if anything is going to fail it will usually be within the first 72 hours.
 
O contrair Madem moysell,
Not only does the HS compound work better after awhile,
but my OVCLKs get better with time.

If I'm breaking in a new card, I'll run rthdribl_1_2 for awhile inbetween gaming not Ovclked till I see the top temps and how stable, about a week. Then I'll start Ovclking.
 
Even the chips will return better performance when they settle in
