There are several ways to stress test a new PC to make sure it can handle demanding tasks and applications. Here are a few methods:
  1. Use benchmarking software: You can use benchmarking software such as 3DMark, PCMark, or PassMark to test your PC's performance under different conditions. These tools measure your PC's processing speed, graphics performance, and other important metrics, giving you a score that you can compare against other systems.
  2. Run stress tests for individual components: You can use software like Prime95 or AIDA64 to run stress tests specifically for your CPU and RAM, and FurMark or MSI Kombustor to test your graphics card. These tests simulate heavy usage, such as rendering or gaming, and can help you identify any issues with your system's cooling, stability, or performance.
  3. Use real-world applications: Running demanding applications, such as video editing or 3D rendering software, can also stress test your PC. You can try running multiple applications at the same time or pushing them to their limits to see how well your PC performs under heavy usage.
  4. Monitor temperatures and other metrics: Use a software like HWMonitor or Core Temp to monitor the temperature of your CPU and GPU, as well as other important metrics like clock speed and voltage. This will help you identify any potential overheating issues that could affect your PC's performance or longevity.
It's important to note that stress testing can put a significant load on your system, which can increase its temperature and potentially cause damage if not done properly. Make sure to monitor your system closely and stop the tests if you notice any signs of instability or overheating.

It's copied and pasted from a chatbot, don't worry too much about what it says.
