best software to benchmark your pc

[thedeadlylordgaming]

so basically i am looking for the best software to benchmark my pc

There isn't a single best if that's what you are looking for. With the wide range of uses for pcs, there's a wide range of different benchmarking software. 3dmark, pcmark, sysmark, sandra, cinebench, unigine, specapc and specviewperf, crystaldiskmark, iometer, luxmark are some that you will see in most pro reviews. Some of those are workstation and compute uses. Userbenchmark is probably the quickest and simplest to compare to others. There are also real world apps with standardized runs for handbrake, 7zip, photoshop, blender, etc. If you are looking at just games then you'd want to use the in game benchmark for the games that have them to get a real world idea. But again you are still looking at multiple benchmarks with the different needs of each game.

ok thanks. and btw i am wondering if doing benchmarks frequently damage your pc. i did a userbenchmark 3 times. and keep in mind that my temps were normal at all times

What is your purpose for benchmarking?
Are you benchmarking CPU or GPU or Storage?

 

[thedeadlylordgaming]

i benchmarked everything using userbenchmark three times. And my question is could that have damaged anything? and my temps are normal

No. Especially if the temps were good you can do it as many times as you want
