    I'm new to the Clevo world and just purchased a barebones W860U box and just finished installing all of the components + Windows 7 x64.

    My question is, what is a good freeware program that I can use to test the hardware and get some good baseline data?

    Thanks in advance,

    Ken

    I have found that some of the test software didn't show any issues where real gaming for hours did. I recommend you play a CPU and GPU intensive game (GTA IV) for a good few hours while running HWMonitor in the background to record all of the temps. I also have Rivatuner setup to show all of these temps in game too.
