They can assist in identifying areas where performance might be lacking. It has often helped users notice issues such as forgetting to turn on XMP or discovering that storage drives are full. Still, it's not ideal for comparisons. It's simply a tool among many.
Yes, I used to appreciate them for this particular reason (linking issues to hardware underperformance), but their recent intense campaign against AMD over the past few years has made me question everything they claim now. It’s unclear whether an underperforming GPU or CPU is truly underperforming, or if the outcomes are simply adjusted to portray AMD negatively. This isn’t just a minor bias—it’s a significant and obvious expression of dislike for AMD.
Their dislike for AMD is quite strong. However, when using the tool as intended, it compares it with other CPUs from the same model. The simplistic scoring system isn't very useful for troubleshooting. What matters here is whether everything is functioning well, poorly, or better than the same components used by others. Anyway, we should stay focused on the original issue presented.
Im confident about the cpu not overheating. Under full load its somewhere around 70c, Gpu under load is approximately on hotspot 93 c. I do not know how to check the VRMs temperature though.
edit: should i use that userbenchmark tool or not? if yes then id appreciate providing the tool for it. Thanks
I can't complete the benchmark; the app indicates a pro version is needed.
I don't understand how benchmarks can be relied upon, since there is never a complete match to the system compared to on the benchmark.
