    Ok I have just finished upgrading my PC and I have to say so far its quick. But I want to find out how quick. What are the best benching softwares and if poss free ones lol. I have set up the following

    Asus p867 PRO
    Intel 2500k
    8gb Cas 9 1600 mhz Vengence RAM
    Gainward 1gb 460 golden sample
    64gb corsair c300 SSD
    300gb Sata with old OS and program files
    640gb sata 6 Western Digital Caviar Black for my anime and music plus games are getting shifted over to it.
    a Coolermaster TX3 keeping the cpu cool.
    Antec 650w Truepower
    LG Blu-ray drive
    Asus Xonar DX sound card.
    All in an NZXT case (forgotten type but it looks sweet lol)
    a total of 3*120mm case fans, 2*96mm case fans and an Antec graphics fan.

    I welcome any suggestions.
    I went into BIOS (very nice by the way) and clicked the OC tuner button after 2 restarts it had oced my 3.3ghz to 4.3ghz!! with the RAM at 1648mhz and the Bclk to 103. It was running stable until in the OS i knocked the multiplier down to 40 and the bclk down to 100 at which point is was stable until I restarted. I have changed profiles to XMP and it runs at 4.2ghz with the Temp in OS running a cool 32c idle (compared to 45c with stock fan!).
    Look forward to replies, will upload photos of it over time.

    Cinebench is pretty good, takes a cpu to 100% while it builds a picture.

    Also 3dmark vantage basic is now free to use, just like 3dmark 06.

    For stability I would run some thing like prime overnight, an overclocked cpu can be fine for like 3 hrs and then just start freaking out corrupting data and showing weird errors.
