CPU stress testing software

[KALLIYAN]

I am in search of some good software to test my CPU. I would like to use my CPU to 100% on both cores. I also want to know how efficient is my water cooling working during full load. Does anyone know a good software for CPU stress testing?

CPU Burn-in v1.01 is the ultimate stability testing tool for overclockers. The program heats up any x86 CPU to the maximum possible operating temperature that is achievable by using ordinary software. This allows the user to adjust the CPU speed up to the practical maximum while still being sure that stability is achieved even under the most stressful conditions. The program continuously monitors for erroneous calculations and errors ensuring the CPU does not generate errors during calculations performed under overclocking conditions.

OCCT (stands for "OverClock Checking Tool) is a CPU stability testing program.

Its features :

• 3 different test types
  
  • CPU = no RAM tested, alot of heat generated on the CPU, errors are usually CPU-centered
  • RAM = Maximum error detection, tests the whole chain CPU-Chipset-Memory
  • Mix = CPU and RAM alternated
• 3 tests modes
  
  • Auto = 1h long Mix test
  • Custom (Infinite) = Infinite loop of the test type of your choice
  • Custom (fixed) = A test of the type of your choice, and of a duration of your choice
• Integrated monitoring and System information thanks to CPU-Z and HWmonitor engine
• External Monitoring Program support through plugins (Everest, Speedfan, and many more)
• Graph output showing temperatures and voltages of your computer

Core Temp is a compact, no fuss, small footprint program to monitor CPU temperature. The uniqueness of it is that it shows the temperature of each individual core in each processor in your system! You can see in real time how the CPU temperature varies when you load your CPU. It's also completely motherboard independent.
