So I built my PC. Now what?
Posted by DripFireCoins@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 4 comments
Built my first PC for the first time since 2010. Everything runs smooth as far as I know. But I would still like to dive more in depth as far as monitoring my CPU/GPU performance, along with RAM balancing.
I mostly want to know if my CPU/GPU are being bottlenecked and their temperatures and if my RAM is performing the way it should.
So what software is out there that I can use to monitor such things?
Build: AMD 7800x3D Radeon Rx 9070 xt MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk T-Create 6000mz 64GB

HWINFO64 is hard to beat for the amount of sensors and logging. MSI afterburner is nice if you want an on-screen display while in game.
In general, there isn't really a need for constant monitoring after you confirm everything is functioning normally, unless you start overclocking or are right on the cooling performance limit of your CPU cooler.
Just make sure you have the latest GPU and chipset drivers installed, your bios is updated, and EXPO is enabled for your ram, and you should be good.
