Burn-in tools. What's good these days?

[schmosef]

I seem to recall one or two sites that have an .iso download with custom burn-in tools but I don't remember the urls.

I'd be interested to know what you guys are using these days or what you've heard is good for the task.

Thanks!

http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ has a slew of utils for burnin in the CPU/Memory Diagnosis section

Thanks.

Cool link. I've heard of Bart PE, it's all pretty damn cool.

Ok, I downloaded the self extracting EXE, and instead of extracting an ISO, it gave me a bunch of files. So I guess I'd have to add these to a nero project and set it to be bootable and such?

hmm? I dunno. My business partner downloaded it and burned a self booting cd. He would have mentioned something to me if it wasn't in iso format. Maybe there's a different download link on their site?

memtest86, memtest86+. Both available from the ultimatebootcd. There's also prime95 torture test. I ran this on an overclocked system that I thought was fine. But it failed the torture test.

Perhaps. I see where there WAS a place to download an ISO, but there's no link there now?
