Honest PC diagnostics

The PC benchmark that
tells you why.

Most benchmarks hand you a score and leave you guessing. PCBusBench finds what's actually holding your machine back — and tells you how to fix it. More often than not it's a $12 cable, not a $200 part.

What it actually catches

Real findings from real machines — the stuff that quietly costs you money.

"Your SSD isn't slow — it's on a USB 2.0 port."

It reads the true negotiated link speed from the hardware. So you replace a $15 enclosure instead of a perfectly good $150 drive.

"Your RAM is running at 2133, not the 3600 you paid for."

XMP/DOCP silently reverts after a BIOS reset or a power cut. You've been running slow for months and nothing told you.

"Your GPU is thermal-throttling."

A sustained load test that heat-soaks the card — and knows the difference between real throttling and a normal power cap. Most tools cry wolf.

"You own a 2.5G port you've never plugged into."

It finds capability you already paid for: unused faster NICs, 10 Gbps USB, GPUs running at half their PCIe lanes.

Why you can trust the numbers

The PC-tool world is full of biased scores and snake oil. We built the opposite.
