OCCT
It's basically the same as intel burn test but in a nicer package with a great UI and logging, plus loads more features thrown in.

Have you kept Turbo Boost, Speed Step and all those energy-saving features enabled? In Sandy Bridge CPUs, those need to be enabled as you're actually overclocking the maximum turbo boost multiplier rather than the base multiplier.
