It got me thinking, how does the master race test their pc? With my upcoming build I am always looking for good advice.

Prime, some benchmarks like 3dmark and heaven, and furmark.

If I'm overclocking for a customer, I will do a brief linpack test as well to make sure there are absolutely zero issues.

Other than that, just play some games. Even when Furmark and 3dmark indicated a stable video card overclock, I ran into an issue that indicated my core was too high after playing far cry 3 for a few hours. I was at 1300mhz. 1250 is all good.

Heaven Engine

Prime

I try not to go over 90 degrees but that's just personal preference.

ETA: I can't remember the last time I got up that high...but if I did I would cut it off,

I don't get into all the stress testing. Nor do I really are about benchmarks. I do my builds according to machine builds in maximum PC. As long as my rig works with the games I play and other things I do, I am happy.
