Hello,

Just wondering which program(s) I should use to test my system to make sure it is performing to its maximum.  From browsing the forums here, I downloaded CPU-Z, Real Temp. Between these 2 programs is that enough to test whether my system is performing as expected or are there other programs you guys use?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Benson

HWMonitor to see temps for everything

GPUz for more details on the gpu

use linx to test the cpu and oc stability.

MSI Afterburner to change gpu fan settings, oc gpu and use the kombustor portion of it to test the gpus.

Which numbers should I be paying attention to?  Is normal range for cpu in the low 40s?  And I read that the normal temp for gpu is 70 to 85C, do you agree with that?

Thanks again!

How do we interpret these results?  Is it accurate considering I'm using 2560x1600 while this is benching for 1280x720?  the score 3595... is it higher the better or lower the better?

all those temps look fine but load temps are just as important. I would personally use 3dmark11

you want to run kombustor and linx and make sure they pass and pc has no errors. The scores and etc is not really important, we are testing stability.

also while they are running you want to see what your reported max temps are, you want max temps below 85c, only load temps are important.
