August 31, 201114 yr Is there a way to test each individual hardware component to see if they are working as they should?

August 31, 201114 yr Stress tests. They'll test mobo, CPU, ram, GPU. I'm not sure about hard drives though. I guess a benchmark to see if they're running up to speed Di Agron Dell XPS 15 L502X | Intel i5-2540m @ 2.60GHz | 4GB DDR3 1333MHz (2x2GB) | nVidia GT525M | Seagate 500GB 7200RPM | 15" 1366x768 | 23" LG 1360x768 | Got a hardware question?

August 31, 201114 yr You can test your CPU with Prime95, OCCT, Lynx for stability, and Cinebench, Fritz Chess Benchmark, etc for performance....your GPU with Heaven Benchmark, 3d Mark, furmark...your PSU with a combined CPU + GPU stress test then your case with a hammer and an axe for example :P
August 31, 201114 yr then your case with a hammer and an axe for example :Phow effective is dropping it from a second story window? Somehow i imagine a HAF X would survive that....

August 31, 201114 yr Author hmmm just ran a test and it passed. I actually wish it failed so I can finally stop playing detective. I have a post going in the fsx forum about my poor OC and performance CPU: i7-9700KF stable @ 5.0GHz | MOBO: ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero | GPU: ASUS GTX 1080 Ti @ stock | RAM: G.

August 31, 201114 yr Don't just run a quick test when OCing. If it's a constant 24/7 OC, let the CPU/Ram stress tests run for a while. 5 hours minimum.

September 1, 201114 yr how effective is dropping it from a second story window? Somehow i imagine a HAF X would survive that....You could have an army of HAF X's and they would be stronger than tanks. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern
