How to test CPU speed to compare results?

[mm66554]

Hi my pc seems pretty slow and freezes at times for a few seconds which is really annoying considering its pretty high tech. What program can I use to quickly test CPU performance on its own (without having to tweak lots of values that might interfere with result comparisons) and has a comprehensible community benchmark chart?

Also would using 2x triple channel DDR3 chips interfere with speed of the overall OS? the other one is corrupt I need to RMA it.

Thanks.

Yep i7 at stock hit around 14 sec on 1M. Yours is stock with an extra multi with turbo.

A bit strange to see your vcore at 1.0v. Is that stable? I could run stock speeds stable at around 1.1v.
