Heyyo,

MSI Afterburner for monitoring. It even has the ability for on screen display which is handy whilst gaming in fullscreen to check your temperatures. It's what I do too. Other YouTubers like JayzTwoCents also uses MSI Afterburner.

For benchmarking? The tends to make custom game runs not so much pre-made software... I don't even remember if LTT even uses 3DMark. You can find 3DMark on Steam or http://www.3dmark.com/

Heyyo,

There's a free version too of 3DMark, you don't get all of the benchmarks or as good of results, but its still a very nice benchmark suite.

Yeah on Steam you just click the Demo button. For 3dmark's website it's pretty easy to find the free version too.

I'm assuming your talking about Cinebench as thats what they've featured in a lot of their videos quite recently.
