New build completed.. what next (benchmarking etc)

[ftahir192]

It's been so long since I've completed a build and normally I'd run some benchmarks to make sure my hardware and so on is fine with no issues. It looks like with ryzen chips what people use to monitor temps/benchmark and so on is different to what I'd have used in the past.

 

What do folks normally use here to benchmark the following (as well as get temps):

- Ryzen 7 3700x

- RTX 2070 Super

- M.2 NVMe SSD

- and of course ram?

 

I'd have used Intel's platform for stress testing in the past and would assume it should still work for ryzen but I'm sure there's better out there. As for the graphics card, Unigine valley, Unigine heaven etc. For the ssd, probably crystaldisk?

 

For cpu temps I'd use core temp but this looks kind of weird for ryzen now.

CPU info (including temperatures): Ryzen Master

GPU info (incl. temps): HWInfo64

 

Want to see how warm it would get at the very MAX? (not really realistic usually):

CPU stresstest: Aida64

GPU stresstest: Furmark

 

Benchmarks:

CPU: Cinebench R20 and R15

GPU: 3DMark TimeSpy (which is included in the Steam Demo version), Unigine Valley/Heaven is kind of surpassed by Superposition.

SSD: CrystalDiskMark (CrystalDiskInfo is just to see information)

 

You can also use any game you like as a benchmark, especially if they have a built in benchmark option.

 

To compile the results: 

Typically I just use Google Spreadsheets

This helps a ton, thanks!

But to be honest, just use the system and enjoy it. Don't worry about benchmarks, if it plays fine for you, then it's good to go

Fair point. It's mostly to check what kind of temps I can run at in worst case so I can set fan curves and so on. Preset curves are gahhh
