Prime95 is a popular software tool used primarily for stress testing and benchmarking computer processors by running intense calculations based on the Mersenne prime search algorithm. This rigorous testing helps users gauge system stability and detect potential issues, particularly useful for overclockers, hardware testers, and enthusiasts aiming for optimal CPU performance.

MSI Kombustor is a dedicated GPU stress-testing and benchmarking tool built on top of the popular FurMark engine. It is designed to push graphics cards to their thermal and stability limits, helping users verify cooling performance and overclocking reliability. With support for advanced 3D APIs like OpenGL and Vulkan, Kombustor can generate demanding rendering workloads that simulate real-world GPU pressure.

Superposition Benchmark by Unigine is a powerful GPU stress-testing and benchmarking tool designed to evaluate graphics performance using the Unigine 2 Engine. It features advanced visuals, real-time lighting, and physics simulations to test DirectX and OpenGL performance. Superposition provides detailed results, including frame rates, GPU temperatures, and stability data. It supports VR mode and 4K to 8K resolutions.

powerMAX is a CPU and GPU burn-in tool designed to push your hardware to its absolute thermal and power limits. It helps users uncover stability issues, cooling weaknesses, and power delivery problems by applying maximum, sustained stress to both the processor and graphics card. The utility supports dedicated CPU tests—SSE or AVX—and a demanding GPU 3D rendering test, with the option to run both simultaneously for full-system power load evaluation. Because it does not generate scores or benchmarks, powerMAX is strictly a stress-testing tool rather than a performance comparison utility. ...

VDT - Visual Disk Test : performs I/O tests on files, partitions, and/or disks with visual feedback/follow-up, offering flexible test area selection by size, location, percent, or combinations thereof, plus test duration control by time or size.

wrk is a modern, command-line HTTP benchmarking tool engineered for high performance, capable of generating substantial load using a single multi-core CPU by leveraging multithreading and scalable event notification systems. An optional LuaJIT script can perform HTTP request generation, response processing, and custom reporting. Details are available in SCRIPTING and several examples are located in scripts. The machine running wrk must have a sufficient number of ephemeral ports available...

Death Star is a 'multi-protocol stress testing' tool. Initially forked from LOIQ v0.3a, Death Star seeks to surpass LOIC and LOIQ in terms of performance, OS support and win.

OpenLC is a set tools designed to facilitate benchmarking and stress testing of a wide variety of information servers (WEB, Email, FTP, LDAP, ...). A XML-RPC API is offered for developers interested in creating clients that query the services provid

A console-based web scripting tool, (eventually) with Perl scripts for stress/performance testing. West is capable of both HTTP and HTTPS transactions using SSLeay or OpenSSL.
