There's no point in having an overclocked system that continually crashes. Here's how to stability test.

So you just overclocked?NICE!!!It's a nice way to get some more juice for them new games you wanna play.
But you should know that after each overclock no matter how small it might seem you have to "stress" test your machine under full load to see how your pc will react on 100% workload.
Sooooo here's how to do it!!!

There are many programs that are up to the task.
Most of them work equally well, but I prefer Intel’s XTU. If you have an AMD CPU you will need to use another program; AMD’s own “OverDrive” is a good place to start.

Intel’s Extreme Tuning Utility does not only monitor and stress test your pc but it also lets you overclock without even messing with the bios (talking to you first timers xD ).Intel's XTU makes stress testing your cpu or memory a one click proccess which makes it beginner friendly.

Stability can and will (most of the times cause dont forget getting the right overclock for you is a tedious process) come after some passes with XTU.
Longer stress tests will ensure that your overclock is stable and that you will be able to play your games (or use it for w/e reason you wanna use it) without interruptions (crashes,freezes,stuttering etc).
You might not like having to stress test for ex 24 hours but i assure you its better to stress test once you feel you are ready for a longer period of time, than having freezes of crashes when you are in the middle of a promotion for example (it hurts believe me).
That's all for today.
Follow and resteem if you like it :)
Thanks in advance :)
