Stress test CPU and GPU

[SM Phoo]

Hey guys, built a tower for a friend.

GPU was used, so I'd like to give it a proper test before handing it over.

As for the CPU, thats new, a 3300X, is that worth testing, and whats the best software for that?

 

Thanks

Cinebench R20 and OCCT would be great stress tests for the CPU. GPU Kombuster and Unigine Heaven are great free ones as well.

Stresstest: Aida64 and Furmark.

A stresstest is generally so you can gauge how hot your components will get at the most, it's less of a proper test of how well they run. They can definitely be seen as unrealistic loads on your system.

 

Benchmark: Cinebench R15/R20 and 3DMark.

With these you get a score for your device, so you know how well you score as compared to others with the same hardware

You should test/bench everything when your build a new rig.

 

CPU:

Cinebench R20/R15

Prime95 (for stability and temps)

 

GPU:

3D Mark

Heaven

Thanks guys, I'll look into these!

I don't have experience with it, but I personally never recommend Furmark, especially to people who aren't too sure what they're doing. Furmark IMO is too extreme and I wouldn't want to risk is nuking my/someone elses card.
