Hello, I've just built a new system. I've heard of some people using benchmarks in order to test that certain parts like the processor function correctly. What system benchmarks should I use, how should I go about it?

Thanks.

These are my two recommendations:

  • Prime95 - Most used downloaded software to stress your system to make sure it is stable throughout each process (overclocking... etc.) related to heat...
  • Futuremark's 3DMark Vantage (Vista / Win7) or 3DMark06 (XP) - This will provide benchmark scores to be compared against to see how your system ranks with similar parts.
