Best Free Benchmark?

[mbryant]

I just built a new system, Link to the build here  https://pcpartpicker.com/b/XhzMnQ

 

I did run Cinebench and got 147 on GPU and 828 on CPU, however I want to run more benchmarks and seeing as I won't be updating my system or building another system for some time I don't want to have to buy a bench marking tool. I'm also not interested in benchmarks that tell me about my gaming performance, I want to know about my systems over-all performance. I mostly do video editing so that's really what I need to benchmark.

Video editing = cpu bound. Cinebench does that great. Your gpu is for preview and some effects if editing software is capable of that.
If you want games try Valey/heaven benchmark

I get 1950 cpu on cinebench so your cpu should work pretty well with editing

Just checked your link and that score is very good for that cooler. I hope you have not overclocked it with the stock heatsink. If money is a problem even h212 evo should do great job

Jesus, 1950 haha. also side not, would you happen to know how to tell adobe creative cloud to install certain programs to a different drive? I really only want after Effects and Premiere on my SSD

1950 is because of 2 cpu. So it's 975 on one 6 core. Check the ones you want to first install(Ae and Pr) they should go to default location and after you finish that just open up installer and direct install folder to your hdd. It's like any other installer

The temp for the heatsink was only that "low" because I was only playing Chivalry, which is the most demanding game installed at the moment. My system has gone up to 79c but while in chivalry it tended to stay between 68-72. I do plan on going with an h100i cooler. I was going to go with air, but I really really don't want to take the motherboard out again. 

 

EDIT: I'm about to add 2 fans from my CM HAF912 case into the 750D I just need to figure out where to put them.

What do you mean by taking out the motherboard? Did you damaged the copper lines while installing it? As otherwise I can't see how how an air cooler can kill a mobo

Don't you have to remove the board from the case to install air coolers on 1151 sockets? I know the 2011-3 sockets don't need a plate on the back of the board. When I tried to build an x99 system I didn't need to mount anything on the back of the board for the 212 evo I had for it.

I think you need one, but it still depends on the maker. I have 1366 board which needs a backplate but EVGA where kind enough to build one in. Most of the times when people write my computer doesn't turn on after changing thermal paste or cooler is that they scratched the copper traces. Normally they should withstand some abuse but lately companies like msi started to cheap out of the protective lacker. So you have to be more careful when installing.

In terms of backplate in should come with the cooler for all supported socket and there is nothing difficult with installing it.

Yeah I figured I'd go with the Noctua UD-12 (or something) if I were to do air cooling, but I think I want to try to push my processor quite a bit so I might try liquid.

The difference will get 300mhz maybe more. On air I'm pretty sure you will hit 4.5, maybe even higher. On AIO you will hit ~4.7. On custom loop if you have good knowledge of overclock and silicone lottery you might hit ~5 So you can see that Noctua nh d14 is still second best to price to performance after h212. Water and AIO are just for the looks and marginally better performance

New report on Max temps while playing Chivalry, 82 degrees. Celsius of course

82 is bit on the high side. Anything below 80 should be fine. Intel cpu throttle after 100, but even 90 for non xeons is bad. The problem is that you have thermal paste on the cpu, but intel has put some thermal paste beneath the metal heat spreader. While xeons are soldered on to the heat spreader.

P.S. The process is called delidding
