    my fan keeps going off too often and i want to see if it's the CPU or GPU. Well i just want to rule out the GPU being the culprit. I'm 95% sure it's the CPu though.

    Is there anyway to stress test only the GPU and not the CPU?

    OCCT - can do both gpu or cpu seperate

    Wprime - Just cpu

    3dmark06 / Vantage - does both but has tests that are more focused on one or the other

    Furmark - GPU

    ATI Tool Artifact Tester - GPU

    Encoding (like video encoding) - CPU

    Play crysis and test it at different settings.
