Oh well, i just check out their site and youre right. There also big so ill just go with heaven as its a mainstream. Thanks buddy! c yah...
Doesn't really matter, but I think Firestrike (part of the 3DMark suite), might actually be more mainstream? Again, unless you're benchmarking for fun (and not just to test stability), either is fine
P.S. Good job finding the edit button on your own

Heaven (to me) has always been easier to run certain settings on. You don't have to pick different benchmarks to run for different settings, you just pick your res/quality and go.

It won't matter unless you're trying to get a top score in benchmarking.
If you're just testing an overclock, I wouldn't bother with closing stuff out. (unless it's something you could lose progress in if you crash the system)

Im overclocking for a mixed of stability test and know how. But i think this is also fun
+1 It might even be more realistic to leave some stuff running (browser, music...) since that's what you'll have running in the background normally anyway.
Have fun
EDIT: As an asterisk to this, for GPU overclocking, you can leave stuff running in the background (it really shouldn't matter as those apps shouldn't be applying GPU load). With CPU overclocking, it might be better to kill that stuff, after all. The stress testing apps (Prime95, ...) will apply 100% CPU, so it might not be realistic to have other apps running, which unlike in the GPU overclocking scenario, will be applying additional CPU load. Games typically only put 50-75% stress on the CPU, so there's some headroom there for background processes which isn't available while stress-testing that component.

Guys if youre still there, i got 1 more question. Is there an interval of testings like after one test, let your gpu cooldown for how many minutes till temp goes back to minimum and try again? Or it doesnt matter?
Also, do i need to max out the settings on Heaven like turn on max AA and other settings to test better? Also does resolution does matters and making it fullscreen or not?

Nope. Remember, you're shooting for realistic testing. You won't let your GPU cool down between maps when you're playing, right?
I don't think you'll get anywhere near the thermal limits of your card, but once you do find the max core clock, you will want to play for a good 30 minutes+. Temps will gradually increase over that time and eventually level out when the ambient temperature in your case reaches an equilibrium (unless you have zero airflow, in which case, temps will just keep going up until your system crashes).

Just did overclocking/testing on Core Clock and looks like the safest i can add is +200. After i made it +240, it almost crashed after i click RUN on Heaven but after 4-5 seconds, it displayed and i could have run the benchmark again but i just considered it a limit already if im right on this.
On the upper right portion of Heaven screen on my last testing with +200 Core Clock, these are the info on the ff:
Graphics: 1533 MHz
Memory: 2505 MHz
Hope im doing it right
