Adjust the system to a small CPU configuration and run tests for roughly ten minutes with air cooling and twenty minutes with water. Configure the thread count according to your CPU model. If issues arise or errors appear, consider increasing voltage or lowering overclock settings. I recommend using HWmonitor to monitor temperatures.
For Intel or Ryzen processors, it's advisable to use version 26.6 as newer releases consume excessive power.

I rely solely on OCCT for stress testing and realtemp GT for temperature monitoring.
