CPU Stress Test Software

[adnank77]

What's the best software to stress test CPU and show temp on idle and load?
Would it provide comparison with modern CPUs like Haswell

I always use RealTemp:

You can also try Core Temp:

I usually run CPUID hardware monitor in conjunction with a recent game or 3DMark. Gives a pretty good idea of how hot your CPU/Video card is going to get. This one in particular also shows where voltages and fan speed are going as well. It shows temps and voltages in current, low, and high, for as long as you keep it running.

None of those do any stress-testing.
edit: ah, was just partial answers. Nevermind!

I recently "upgraded" from running just Prime95 to Prime95+Intel Burn Test (not at the same time, obviously).

For monitoring purposes, I suggest HWiNFO. I used to use HWMonitor, but it's lacking a "little".

I am using OCCT (www.ocbase.com) for all my stress-testing needs.
