Best software to monitor hardware usage & bottlenecks

[canadiantree 233]

So I finally finished my system, I'm super happy, I'll post a separate thread about it as it's really pretty xD.

Anyhow I did not overclock anything or enable XMP, I'm interested in doing it but I want to do some testing before hand including FPS, CPU/GPU usage, Wattage & FPS counter (I have FRAPS installed).

Right now I'm running at 1440p with low 50's on average & high 30's in dense areas like Seattle. My RAM in the bios is currently at 2133 MHz but it's actually 3600Mhz CL16.

Any tips on free sotware or even with a full free trial would be awesome 🙂

Your BIOS shows 2133 MHz most likely because you haven't enabled XMP:

Good luck!
