I intend to buy below for setting up Debian CLI server.

Intel i5-14500,
32GB DDR5 5600 MT/s (MHz) RAM,
Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD,
ASUS ROG Strix B760-I Gaming WiFi ITX motherboard with on-board Intel WiFi, Intel Ethernet and Intel video so it is all Intel parts and should have mature drivers?

New to Linux but long time computer worker.

AI chat suggest these stress software. I know 2 and 5. Any advises for the others?

Should I setup the stress software, says run xxx minutes and idle for says, yyy minutes because cooling is 'normal' (instead of very good). I plan to get an Mini-ITX case of 4.2 litres size, Intel original CPU fan and one chassis fan.

1. **Stress-ng**: This is a versatile tool to stress test various system components such as CPU, memory, disk, and I/O. You can simulate high loads and detect potential hardware issues.

2. **MemTest86**: This program is commonly used to test memory for errors. It's effective in catching faulty RAM modules that could cause system instability.

3. **Prime95**: Originally a program for searching prime numbers, it's now widely used as a burn-in tool to test CPU stability under heavy workload.

4. **Phoronix Test Suite**: This is a comprehensive benchmarking platform that offers a wide range of tests for different hardware components, including CPU, memory, and storage devices.

5. **SMART Monitoring Tools**: These tools can help you monitor and analyze the health of your storage devices, providing warnings of potential failures before they happen through Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology.

Many thanks
