Question Hardware Performance Apps?

[versionmanager]

I see 2 free Utilities out there. Mem64 and AIDA64. Are these good apps to determine if you potentially have a problem with Memory, HD, MB or any other Hardware elements?

Any other suggested apps?

Thanks in advance.

Memtest86 is good for testing memory if you think there's a problem with them(or for stability testing). You can use pretty much any benchmarking tool to see if your overclocks on the CPU are stable. Mind you an overclock that is stable might not be the same in a game, which is why after synthetic benchmarking , you're advised to tax the overclock with a game.

Memtest86 is to check if your RAM is sound or does it produce errors. AIDA64 is more of a mixed bag, offering a lot but may not be good for benching. For benching, more dedicated program would be better (e.g CinebenchR for CPU or Unigine Superposition for GPU).

For good utility programs, GamersNexus made a good video, describing each one,

Many programs Steve is talking about, i'm also using myself (e.g HWinfo64, CPU-Z, GPU-Z, Unigine Heaven/Superposition, MSI Afterburner etc).
