With the box I have below, I'm starting to get back into the overclocking business. What are the popular benchmarking apps out, and why do you recommend it?

3DMark (various versions) -- probably most popular so easiest to compare results (although, there is some debate about how well it translates to actual game play)
SuperPI -- cpu type benchmark but memory settings also have an effect (the first few rounds are pretty quick and this can also be a good test for overclocking -- stability -- when running the longer ones) Doom 3 timedemo -- good opengl benchmark Fear built-in benchmark -- recent, plus this game heats up my computer more than most so it's also a good check for stability Fraps -- for monitoring framerates in any game and for taking screenshots (it also has a benchmark function) Benchemall -- lets you benchmark a bunch of popular games with various settings pretty easily |

What OWA said + Aquamark3 for CPU/Memory (like mem latency) & GFX testing. the gfx part might not be that effective in this benchmark though esp with the new high-end video cards & SLI/XF configs.
VIAVGA Doom3 benchmark - this benchmark is even better & more stressing than Doom3's own.. it was a good place to test 1) my Opengl performance , 2) dual-core CPU performance , 3) my video cards overclocking potential.

How could I forget Via's doom 3 benchmark! Good call since that one really stresses things.
