    Not sure if this would be used as a good stability test for a system. But the new GPU client for folding @ home does max out my GPU and CPU, and it does go to a good cause ;)

    Just a idear, because I am bored at work.

    It doesnt't max out the temps: Mine stays at 75*C whereas in game my gpu temps reach 80-85(AC not turned on during the day)... And you also need the 177.xx for the gpu2 client to work...

    I am running GPU2 on 175.75's. And my max temps in gaming are 76C anyways, so "shrug".
