Default GTX 285 OC, stress with?

I haven't tried OCing a GPU in a while after my first 285 was a dud. This 285 I got back from RMA is doing much better - currently at 745/1622/1363 stable according to 20 minutes of ATITool and ~15-20 minutes in-game, but should I be using ATITool? Is there anything better these days?

ATITool is great. There's also furmark, OCCT's GPU stress test, multiple loops of any of the crysis benchmarks maxed out.

Furmark, Crysis benchmark...You'll get a sense of temperatures with Furmark, although I don't think it's the best performance stresser (I've passed Furmark and still had stability issues with gfx card oc's)...just playing Crysis maxed out can give you a pretty good idea of your overclock's durability (e.g. freezing/crashing out).
