Hey guys

I just finished building my first PC and surprisingly it booted on the first try :O
Specs
Corsair Carbide Series 200R
8GB RAM 2666mhz (2x4GB)
Asus Z170-P
i5 6600k
Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212
Samsung Evo 850 250GB
NO GPU yet

Now basically I need some advice on how to monitor and test it to make sure that everything works smoothly.

What I did so far:

- Updated BIOS
- Installed Windows 10
- Updated Drivers
- Installed SpeedFan which showed some weird temperatures (

)

- Also installed Speccy which shows that my DRAM frequency is ~1336Mhz (?) ( http://prnt.sc/cdorew )

- I went to BIOS again to verify if these are false readings and it seems that everything is installed and working properly. ( http://prnt.sc/cdov49 )

Do you guys see anything wrong here? I'm not so experienced and I hoped I could get some advice :)

Thank you





 
Solution
After finishing a build, I like to run Memtest and then Prime95 in the just stress testing mode while monitoring temperatures with one of the many free temp tools available, such as THIS ONE.

A couple of full passes with Memtest and an hour of Prime95 without temps too high or any crashes and you should be fine.
