Anyone have a comprehensive list of benchmark/test programs to check the performance of my computer's parts, aka cpu/gpu/ram/etc?

I know of Prime95 and the various GPU benchmarking software, but not really sure of what's the best and for what.

prime95 > check CPU stability
memtest > check RAM stability
furmark > check GPU stability(also a good benchmarker)

all you really need.

cool thx

What about hard drive health? In case there are random bad segments on the HDD or whatnot. I'm on a traditional pair of 7200 rpm hard drive in raid 0, not an ssd.

HDTune or CrystalDisk for the HDD.

thx thx, thought up another one ><. One of the exhaust ports out of my laptop feels like it has a lot less air coming out (and more heat) than the other. Is there a reliable fan measuring tool out there? Speedfan can't seem to pick up my fans.
