    I use a combination of things...
    For personal testing...
    Memtest
    CPU Burn-in
    Video Card Stability test
    and whatever flavor of 3D Mark is appropriate to the system specs

    I also run Prime for at least overnight

    For customers, I like to run PC Pitstop's tests so they have a 3rd party estimation of the system as a whole...

    As well as some other random options
    Passmark
