All in one freeware benchmark program?

Hi

Have just built a desktop to for the Mrs... It's not a performance build so not bothered about optimising every bios and windows setting etc. Is there a benchmark program I can download to just make sure everything is performing as it should? Don't have much time so something that is relatively quick and easy would be best.

Thanks

Pcmark? There's a free version I think

CPU - Prime95. Compare to internet what score you should be getting.

GPU - download a demo of a game and run the benchmark. Compare to internet what score you should be getting.

I.e https://store.steampowered.com/app/229950/Resident_Evil_6_Benchmark_Tool/

Userbenchmark will score each component and when you get the final score you can see where the pc sits with other similar builds. You can do a similar thing with the Geekbench trial and this is pretty thorough.

Cinebench ?

Asus realbench
Performs 4 different tests. Takes about 10-20 mins to run.
If it doesn't crash, or fail any tests you're all good.

It's a good general benchmark as it covers a broad range of functions rather than focusing on CPU or GPU stress tests.

Worth running something like HWmonitor in the background at the same time so you can see max temps and max voltages reached during the test.

CPU-Z benchmark. Can't really get more simply than that.
