Benchmarking - yikes

[Bravepills]

Got a new pc the other day. Decided to benchmark it.

I used PC Userbenchmark and then later Passmark. It all came back with very good results.

Then I realised I had youtube playing while running the tests (sound down, I didn't notice).

Could this have put extra stress on cpu or gpu and maybe damaged something? Everything seems ok, but just a bit paranoid

Wouldn't have damaged anything; may have lowered your benchmark scores a bit.

Putting computer components at 100% load is perfectly fine to do.

If you look back at your Userbenchmark 'score page' there is a small section about mid way down on the right that tells you how much background CPU was in use. Normally if it passes a certain threshold there will be a small red notification above your scores as well.

Thanks to both for your advice. Good peace of mind.

Could only pick one solution
