On nVidia chipset motherboards you can go into Device Manager -> IDE/ATAPI Controllers -> (First sata controller available) -> Primary Channel (Or secondary) then Speed Test. The Burst rate is the speed of what it's running.

Make sure you sandpaper the hole, and then put some U rubber over it to avoid sharp edges. Put some grease around the newly drilled hole, and then screw your computer, screw it hard. Maybe install some UV lights and turn em up to indicate that your computer is also excited.
