Hi
I'm after an alternative to UserBenchmark as they are pushing hard this year to lower their user base. Odd goal but there we are.
Did have a little Google around but only found people warning against it or people looking OC for last few score points. Which is not really what I'm after

I used it for the percentile compared to others, where components popup red if they are running slower than expected ("Have I done something silly test" ha!)
Previously it helped me find that i'd left XMP off. It found that the GPU was in the wrong slot. And also one of my SSD was end of life.

So for the below picture (not mine) it shows the GPU has an issue. Are there other programs similar to this?

i stopped using it when they started pushing pro membership to even run the test. Wish they weren't top choice now as its just a trap... free download but have to be a pro member to even run it. Clearly its time to make money for being top of every search.

You might have to run something like hwinfo and just check your scores manually against what others with hardware can achieve.
As for ssd, can run other programs like Crystaldiskinfo to see drive health
CPU-Z could help with XMP - https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

Passmark has a perf test give it a test drive.
