CCleaner (formerly Crap Cleaner) is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused and temporary files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster, more efficiently and giving you more hard disk space. The best part is that it's fast! (normally taking less than a second to run) and Free.
Core Damage is a powerful CPU stress tester that executes instructions at the maximum possible rate to reduce idling and increase heat output. This is the fastest and most effective way to check the cooling system and determine stability of an overclocked CPU under stressful conditions.
Disk Speed is a small and simple utility, that checks the read speed and access time of a selected disk drive and provides detailed statistics as well as an overall score
Guru3D - Driver Sweeper is a fast tool to remove driver leftovers from your system. It's very important to remove your drivers on a proper way, because driver leftovers can cause problems like stability and startup problems. You can use it if you want to update/remove drivers from your system.
Select download mirror Europe.
Driver Backup! A great tool to backup your drivers (your original disk doesn't contain all of those new Nvidia drivers you've downloaded, so create a new one). Just extract the file with WinRAR and run the DrvBK.exe inside the main folder. It allows you to backup, restore and remove drivers from your system.
EasyBCD is NeoSmart Technologies' multiple award-winning answer to tweaking the new Windows Vista bootloader. With EasyBCD, almost anything is possible. Setting up and configuring Windows boot entries is simple, and there is no easier way to quickly boot right into Linux, Mac OS X, or BSD straight from the Windows Vista bootloader - on the fly, no expert knowledge needed!
EVEREST Ultimate Edition is an industry leading system diagnostics and benchmarking solution for enthusiasts PC users, based on the award-winning EVEREST Technology.
If you run NotFred's VMWare Folding@Home solution then it is highly likely that your processors run at 100% nearly all the time. This means that your GPU F@H client may not be getting the processing time necessary, and as such you are slowing yourself down! FAHPRI is an application that will help to remedy this issue; it sits in the System Tray and monitors for local FAHCore_##.exe processes, and automatically modifies the priority.
HWMonitor is a hardware monitoring program that reads PC systems main health sensors : voltages, temperatures, fans speed. 32&64 versions can be found in the upper left corner.
Unzip this file and extract the ISO file to a Blank CD. Use IMG BURN or any other burning software to burn the ISO image to the CD. Once your CD is created insert it into your CD Rom drive and boot from it. You may need to enter your BIOS to change your boot device priority. You will need to list your CD Rom 1st on this list. When the system reboots you may have to press any key to accept the boot from CD.
Memtest errors are based on %. If you have 4 sticks of ram the 1st 25% would be the 1st stick and so on. If you had 2 sticks of ram the firs stick would be the 1st 50% and so on.
PhysX FluidMark is a physics benchmark based on NVIDIA PhysX engine. This benchmark performs a fluid simulation by imitating the renderering of lava. Real physics parameters such as viscosity are used. SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) algorithm is enabled to increase the realism of the simulation.
For overclockers, Prime95 has a feature called "Torture Test" that allows maximum stress testing on the CPU and RAM. There are several options allowing the stress test to focus on the memory, processor, or a balance of both. Include both 32$64 Bit versions.
RMAA suite is designed for testing quality of analog and digital paths of any audio devices, be it a sound card, an MP3 player, a consumer CD/DVD player or an acoustic set. The results are obtained by playing and recording test signals passed through the tested audio path by means of frequency analysis algorithms. A more common mark is also provided for those unfamiliar with measured technical parameters.
SeaTools for Windows has replaced SeaTools Online and PowerMax. SeaTools for Windows is a comprehensive, easy-to-use diagnostic tool that helps you quickly determine the condition of the disc drive in your external hard drive, desktop or notebook computer. It includes several tests that will examine the physical media on your Seagate or Maxtor disc drive and any other non-Seagate disc drive.
MemtestG80 is a software-based tester to test for "soft errors" in GPU memory or logic for NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPUs. It uses a variety of proven test patterns (some custom and some based on Memtest86) to verify the correct operation of GPU memory and logic. It is a useful tool to ensure that given GPUs do not produce "silent errors" which may corrupt the results of a computation without triggering an overt error.
WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. It can backup your data and reduce the size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format.
