what programs do people use to benchmark their CPU?

I've got a feeling that mine isnt quite performing as it should so looking for something to compare its performance against others......
 
i swear its just tiredness making me forgetful...


anyways, 29 seconds for super pi to go to 1M

CpuMark2 gives overall score of 6530.6
 
x2 6000+

not too happy with it at the moment though, the whole system is still unstable. Its crashing randomly and without explanation. So far its happened about 5 times tonight and its really getting on my nerves!
 
no overclocking at all, i'm planning on getting on to Aria monday about it to be fair.

Going to enquire into a possibly exchange or something. Theres definately something amiss with either board or CPU as the memory is tested and fine
 
I'd send both back if you could, better to be on the safe side, sorry to hear it hasn't gone as planned though Jimmy!
 
oh it will be both going back, i'm gonna inquire into returning the motherboard and CPU and exchanging for a different setup, basically citing lack of faith in the products as an issue.

Will also be pushing for them to be sending the items out before returning the ones i have, should be able to convince them that running a business from this system requires it to have very little downtime.

Upgrades never go to plan though do they :)
 
seee now it was 3dmark06 that got me wondering to be honest.

Upon running it the first graphical tests were not going too bad, but when it moved to the CPU test it almost didnt run, it was abysmal, trying hard to get even 1FPS!

In the end i had to abort it, that really didnt seem right to me!
 
That is right, don't expect any spectacular results from that benchmark, even my X6800 processor doesn't go over 5FPS, I think what 3Dmark 06 is doing is offloading ALL the graphical work over to the CPU. I would recommend Sisaundra.
 
When you say crash does it freeze- blue screen or just restart? If its the crosshair have you updated the bios to 0702?
 
aye bios is up to 0702,

It just crashed, no BSOD, no reset, just completely non responsive. Everything freezes, cant move the mouse, use the keyboard, nothing! Only way to get it running again is a restart
 
90nm Windsors running at 3.0ghz need 1.4. To get this FX to 3.0 and be stable I had to increase to 1.4. It defaulted to 1.35 stock
