Is there a Prime95 equivalent torture test that comes in an iso to make
a bootable CD?

Not that I know of Ed but I'd be very interested if you find one. It would
save risking OS corruption when overclocking. If it needs to be able to
write then it could be USB stick based I guess.

With a partition and boot manager you can make a little system partition
to boot from that can be sacrificed, and restored from an image. I use
bootitng. But I'm planning to overclock someone's pc on a visit out of
town and it would be nice not to have to mess with the partitions.

mcnlive on a usb stick with "stress" or "cpuburn" or "crashme" installed?

If I remember right you could re-author your livecd from the live usb
drive with any program that you installed in your live usb session.
Maybe. I don't know, I can't remember. Anyway mcnlive is amazing on any
pc that I have tried it on.

I don't know of any pre-existing .iso files to do that job but you could
customise BartPE <http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/> or "Ultimate Boot CD for
Windows" <http://www.ubcd4win.com/index.htm> to have Prime95 included.

Note: the BartPE website seems to be down atm.

Thanks, guys.

Ultimate Boot CD For Windows has Prime95 on it, so I'm downloading the
package right now.
