Stress test and PC performance

[turbopiki]

What are the best programs fro stress testing your pc and checking performance.

 

i just built new PC so i want to check if everything is working properly

3dMark Firestrike (which is on 3DMark which is also on steam ) and a stress testing program to test if your CPU is stable. If you're using intel, use Intel XTU's stress test. It's the best imo.

prime 95 for cpu

furmark for gpu

Stress: Aida 64, Furmark (Heaven and Valley are enough though) 

 

Temp Monitoring: CPU-Z, HWMonitor and RealTemp 

 

Bench/Stress: Unigine Heaven/Valley, 3DMark

 

System info: GPU-Z and CPU-Z

No and no. Furmark has reports of destroying GPUs (although very rare) and Prime 95 is just plain stupid.

P95 has some issues, especially with some Haswell CPUs. Aida64 is better for the system's health.

Although I don't really like Aida64 becuase it's not free, and I think it's a rip off, but anything BUT Prime 95 is good in my eyes

I didn't know that thanks for clearing that up. Sorry for the misinformation.

Well, it used to work fine, but it overvolts Haswell CPUs, creating issues. 

 

To be honest, just a render bench and some games or something is enough for CPU stressing anyway.

Thank you. So Ungine Heaven/Valley it is because i am not paying 25$ for 3DMark

Use 3DMark Free on Steam.

Use 3DMark Free on Steam.

so whats the difference between DEMO and not DEMO. is it for limited time (trial) or it doesnt have some features

Right now I'm using the IGP on my i7 4790k, can I use Furmark to stress test it?
