    I want to stress test the cpu and gpu (gtx 880m), measure the temps, repaste and repeat. What would be the best softwares to use?

    I want to avoid FurMark. I am on windows 8

    You can try OCCT. It has a Power Supply test that runs 64-bit Linpack w/AVX and a furry donut render at the same time to really burn up both CPU and GPU.

    MSI Afterburner/HWinfo 64 to to monitor temps..

    Run Wprime 95 for CPU
    For GPU stress test, run heaven benchmark...

    I really like the new version of EVGA Precision X 16. It now syncs voltage changes the same as core and memory clocks on multi-GPU setups. With the older version and NVIDIA Inspector it is a tedious one GPU at a time task to change voltage. KBoost also works better now, on the fly with no need to disable SLI, apply to each GPU, re-enable SLI.
