Stress Testing in Windows7

[JudgmentJay]

Does anyone have any experience stress testing in Windows 7? I had my new build pretty much stable on XP, then made the move over to 7 to discover it no longer passed prime95's blend test. A quick google told me that Windows 7 breaks P95's torture tests?

Are there any stress test applications that people have used successfully with Windows 7?

Nobody has done stability testing in Windows 7!?

I was just looking at the LinX thread... think I'll give that a try tonight.

You just get a slightly lower overclock just like moving from XP to Vista.

Nope, you got that one totally wrong based on a false assumption. It's actually the opposite of what your thinking. Windows 7 runs on less resources then Vista does and is easier on the OC then Vista as well. I have 4 boxes running multiboots with Win7, 3 of which are overclocked. Win7 introduces no new problems for overclocking against Vista and compares quite favorably to XP in that regard (closely matching it, in fact).
