    Testing my rig


    Hey,

    I bought not long ago a CPU/RAM and MOBO as a second hand from a person.
    They still have a 2.5 year warranty left.

    I would like to check if my system performs as it should.
    I didn't have any special errors our problems and I run pretty stable I guess.
    Not really happy with performence in games as I have an old GPU (At least I hope thats the reason).

    Is there any way to really confirm my parts run as they should?
    I did some tests from here like Unigine Heaven and 3DMARK Vantage.. Seems ok I guess..

    GPU temps dont go higher than 70c and CPU 50c or so..

    Also ran MEMtest86+, was fine.

    Guess Im just paranoid but is there any reason I should be worried?


    BTW is my CPU Vcore normal? Doesnt seem like it..

    Voltage looks spot on to me mate.

    I think your Gpu is running as it should, but as Solar already mentioned in another thread, it's a few generations old now so will struggle in the latest games.

    You really worry too much. Just enjoy the system. Older horses walk a bit slower.

    Your i5/h77 is still a good setup. I think you would benefit from a newer gpu, could really boost your gaming experience.
