Independent PC hardware studio and editorial platform — component compatibility, airflow optimization, thermal testing and frame-rate analysis across popular game titles.
Your saved configurations, benchmark history, and support tickets in one place. Track your current build, review past test results, and manage your service requests.
Verified builder — active since 2021. Your profile is complete and you have access to all hardware guides, component comparison charts, and after-sales support.
Ryzen 7 7800X3D · RTX 4070 Super · 32GB DDR5-6000 · 1TB NVMe. Last thermal test logged on 12 March, showing stable 68°C under load in a mid-tower with three intake fans.
You have 14 recorded frame-rate tests across 6 titles. Latest results: Cyberpunk 2077 — 112 fps avg, 1% low 89 fps; Starfield — 87 fps avg, 1% low 71 fps.
One open ticket regarding a driver stability issue on your secondary rig. Our team replied within 2 hours — check the activity log for the latest update.
Every build consultation, benchmark report and support ticket is handled under strict access controls. We keep your component selections, contact details and payment records encrypted, and we review our internal procedures on a fixed schedule so that a hardware fault never turns into a data problem.
Read our security policySecurity posture
Encrypted at rest, audited quarterlyOnly the technicians assigned to your build can view your order history, part list and contact details. Admin rights are limited to two senior staff members, and every login is logged with a timestamp.
We never store full card numbers or bank details on our servers. Payments are processed through a PCI-DSS compliant gateway, and your invoice references only the last four digits of the payment method.
If a data incident is detected, affected customers are notified within two working days. Our response checklist covers account review, log analysis and a public advisory if the issue affects a wider group.
Benchmark logs, chat transcripts and temporary files are purged after 90 days unless they are part of an active warranty case. You can request a full export of your personal data at any time via email.
Every service is tied to a real bench result, a documented test, or a component we have handled ourselves. No vague promises, just measurable outcomes.
Common questions from builders, answered with the same care we put into every test bench run.
Start with the games you actually play and the resolution of your monitor. At 1080p, a mid-range CPU like a Ryzen 5 7600 pairs well with an RTX 4060 Ti or RX 7700 XT. At 1440p, shift more budget toward the GPU. We publish tested combos in our build guides, including frame-rate data, so you can see real-world balance before spending.
That is memory training. The motherboard tests the RAM kit and adjusts timings on first boot, which can take a few minutes. It usually happens once, then boots normally. If it happens every time, check that your kit is on the motherboard QVL list and update the BIOS to the latest version before enabling EXPO or XMP.
For most mid-towers, we recommend two or three front intakes, one rear exhaust, and one top-rear exhaust. This creates positive pressure, which reduces dust buildup. In our thermal tests, this layout lowered GPU temperatures by up to 12°C compared to a single exhaust fan, with minimal added noise.
Add the TDP of your CPU and GPU, then multiply by 1.5 to account for transient spikes and future upgrades. For a mid-range build with an RTX 4070 Super, a quality 650W unit is sufficient. For an RTX 4080 Super or RX 7900 XTX, go with 750W or 850W from a reputable brand with good ripple control.
Often yes, especially on AM5 or LGA1700 boards with newer processors. Check the motherboard support page for the minimum BIOS version required for your CPU. Many boards now support USB BIOS Flashback, so you can update without a CPU installed. We cover this step in our assembly walkthroughs.
Background apps, outdated drivers, and thermal throttling are the usual culprits. Close overlays like Discord or browser tabs, update your GPU driver, and check your temperatures during gaming. Also verify that your RAM is running at its rated speed in BIOS — many systems default to 4800 MT/s instead of 6000 MT/s.
