====== Benchmarking and testing hardware ======
Stress testing or benchmarking hardware is useful to see if the BIOS/UEFI settings, RAM timings and hardware configuration are correct.

===== Tools ====
  * [[https://openhardwaremonitor.org/|Open HW Monitor]] – shows you sensors and general system information
  * [[https://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/|Phoronix Test Suite]] – automated [[:admin:linux:|Linux]] benchmarks

==== Linux ====
  * glmark2 – simple OpenGL benchmark with multiple test scenes.
  * vkmark – simple Vulkan benchmark similar to glmark2

==== Stresstest ====
  * [[https://github.com/stressapptest/stressapptest|Google Stressapptest]]
  * mprime – calculates Pi and verifies it, CPU and RAM stresstests
  * Furmark – rotating fur donut to stress test your GPU
  * mdsched.exe – Windows tool for testing memory

===== CPU ====
