To be clear, I'll be running, one by one, the best stress-testing freeware.

I just need to find which are the best apps for stress tests
o Many apps like CPU-Z or GPU-Z are more of a reporting than stress tool.

Here are some of the potential suites I may be testing each evening:

o https://www.gearprimer.com/technology/best-tools-stress-test-pc-cpu-ram-gpu/
o https://techguided.com/best-tools-to-stress-test-p-cpu-ram-gpu/
o https://www.rankred.com/best-tools-stress-test-pc-cpu-gpu-ram/
etc.

The question here is simply what stress-testing freeware you recommend.
