Best OC and stability/stress test programs?

I've come across quite a lot of programs while looking into what's needed/recommended for OC'ing. I would greatly appreciate a few suggestions on the minimum needed for a beginner Overclocker. I'm pretty sure CPUz is worth being at the top of my list but after that I'm just not sure.

More importantly I need to know for sure what programs to run after each increment of OC'ing to test for stability. There's just so many out there and I've read enough on these forums and have received enough solid advice that I trust your opinions.

I've read through and understand the OC 101 guide here, but it hasn't been updated in years so I just wanted to double check on the programs listed there. Thanks for any and all help here.

If it matters I'm planning on the Crosshair IV Formula MB and AMD Phenom II x6 1090T in my upcoming build. I'm hoping that the ROG connect will take care of most(if not all) of my monitoring needs.
