AIDA64
Since its early days as Everest, AIDA64 has provided an excellent way to benchmark your system without requiring you to take a week off work whilst the tests run. From the memory bandwidth benchmarks which test your throughput, to the CPU benchmarks which vary in scope to test everything from raw calculation – CPU Queen – through compression algorithms – zLib – and the all important encryption – AES256.

Another motherboard release with eye watering prices. B550 is meant to be the knock down cheaper alternative, but they're still pushing out £300 boards!? Mental. B550 lowers the scale of pricing from x570 sure, but am I the only one who thinks we're getting screwed by motherboard manufacturers?Quote

Don't forget that a part of that price is the chipset price also. Like, from AMD. IDK if they charge a license fee like Intel...
Sadly this will just continue, until Intel give them a reason to have to drop.

If you use 2 GPUs for rendering well then go for another board, but for most people, this is a much better distribution of lanes.Quote
