Specific Benchmarking Request

[JAKJ]

I have used benchmarking programs to stress-test my components to make sure they're stable after overclocking, but what I really want to do is make sure I'm actually getting the performance I think I'm getting since I'm new to overclocking in general. Instead of comparing my benchmark scores to global values or whatever, is there any way (without having to buy some $80 benchmarking software) to compare to "what I should be getting at these settings"? For example, I'd like to do a memory test to see if my 3200-14-14-14-34-48 quad-channel is performing as I should expect for those exact settings, regardless of where that places on the global leaderboard. Basically just making sure everything is actually using the settings I'm giving it.

What do you currently have in your rig?

 

I believe Passmark's free trial will allow you to do this. Additionally I believe Intel has a program call Intel Extreme Tuning Utility if you are running an Intel rig. This will rate your whole system and compare it to others and show you where you stand. That is the closest I think you will get. Most companies aren't going to show you or be too accurate with what you should be getting, because overclocking is so subjective and they can't promise anything. It sucks, but it's how it is right now.

I have an AMD 1950X with all-core clock at 4.0 GHz and 1.275 V, 4 8-gig sticks of RAM quad channel at 3200 MHz 14-14-14-34 and 48 tRC (matching the XMP on them), Zenith Extreme motherboard and Enermax 360 MM AIO cooler. I ran memtest86 a bunch of times and it takes anywhere from 5:50-ish to 7:15-ish (left overnight each time), and running Prime95 for a few hours peaks the CPU at 70C and never goes higher. My computer feels great, and I'm happy with it; I just wondered if there's any easy way to make sure it's actually running as well as it can be at those numbers. I guess that's not as easy of a problem to solve as I thought.
