Good torture test for high end system?

I'm having a bit of a problem: the tools that were pretty good for testing reliability a decade ago don't seem to be able to stress the new systems.

Prime 95? A classic, and my old go-to. It's maxing out 24 cores. Yay.

But it's using 2GB of RAM...I've got another 126GB to test out. I'd rather not have task manager showing 100% CPU, 5% RAM.

I won't have the software it's supposed to run in our environment until Friday, I want to have a good burn in before then. So, what would you guys recommend, freeware, ideally no installation (portable files are good, as this system should be as clean as possible), to stress a 12 core CPU, 128GB RAM, and a Quadro P5000 before we start having this engineering modeling for us?
 
Distributed Computing. Plenty of BOINC projects to choose from that will give your system the stress testing it needs. Nearly all of them validate their work so if you're getting invalid results then it's a good indicator that something might not be working correctly on your system.

That's a good though, but I'd need to see how it does network usage, as there's a good chance that we're blocking network traffic.
 
Well World Communty Grid has lots of control over network usage. Pretty sure other BOINC projects are similar.

You'll probably have to register to view the minimum requirements.

You can control when it downloads, when it uploads, how much it downloads/uploads and other settings related to network.
 
Memtest86 for the ram

Or use linpack. Its harxsr than prime95 and can scale pretty big in memory usage

Folding at home is pretty weak on the cpu incomparison
