Benchmarks
Hi guys, I have just built myself a new super-rig and wanted to find out from you what is the benchmarks you normally run. The aim of the built was not super high benchmarks but rather a very well balanced, and fast, computer. So the benchmarks I am looking for should not just be focused on graphics, but also CPU intensive tasks, hard drive tasks, and prefably overall system performance.
I obviously have quite a comprehensive list and will be using all the common ones in any event, but will appreciate any other suggestions you may have.
This is the components:
MOBO: Gigabyte X79s-UP5 Wifi Workstation
RAM: Corsair CMZ16GX3M4a1600C9 (4x4GB)
PSU: Corsair 1000HX
CPU: Xeon e5-2670
CPU Cooler: Corsair H80i
GPU: Asus GTX580, DirectCU II edition
SSD: 6 x OCZ Vertex 3, 60GB, RAID 0
HDD: 8 x 15,000RPM Savio 147GB, RAID 5
RAID Controller: Adaptec 7805
RAID Controller2: Highpoint RocketRAID 2720SGL
System fans: 6 x Coolermaster 120mm fans
System fan controller: Zalman ZM-MFC1 plus
Optical Drive: LG DVD re-writer
Headset: Corsair H1
KB: Logitech G19
Mouse: Logitech G500s
Mouse pad: Roccat Taito
Monitor Samsung T260
Case: Custom build mahogany case
But I am thinking to remove the SAS drives given the noise they make.

Burn it, see if it will stand a overheating test......

Q1 : How did the game go
Paul: Paul : Those fucking dipshit hackers came at us like a bull trying to ram a Spaniard in tights
Paul: "Firstly they went on and on and on about UAC! Fuck UAC! UAC ain't nothing, why you niggas questioning my honour? Is it because I am black?"
Paul: "Then they came to a knife fight with a sword! A sword I tell you! Those limp wristed fools need a sword to counter act our brilliance"
Paul: "Didn't matter though, even though we lost the knife fight we still go the maps we wanted,nooooooobs!"
Paul: "After that I didn't concentrate much because I busy getting blown by all of the PewPew guys mom's"
Paul: "Even one of the sisters wanted to join in and I was all like Bitch please, you need to go practise first"
Paul: ANd that boys and girls is how you mother fucking answer a mother fucking question!

I found a tool that gives a Quick overview of all temps and hardware, it's basic but great little informative tool as it's a broad scope:

Thanks Lee, added AIDA to my repertoire, I've used that program years ago, glad to see they are still in operation.
Perhaps you may know, what is a nice tool that can measure latency for a local LAN? Never mind, found one that measures pings in microseconds:

Now to find one that measures network bandwidth on a LAN?

Skoups, you can use q check to measure bandwidth on a lan.
I use it regularly here at work....
