Question Question on first build testing

[IJIN]

I am thinking whether I should build my first pc or order a custom build from companies.

My last pc came from a British company Chillblast. I am extremely happy with their work

Anyway on their it says: "After ordering<...> we run it through our burn-in and stability tests"

So no my question is - that is something that I would miss out if I decided to build it on my own.. Any thoughts or suggestiona whether that is important or maybe some testint could be done at home (although if tests were to fail i wouldn't know how to proceed anyway..)

Thanks for your thoughts

That's probably some form of stressing the system under a good load. Might include some benchmarking. I'd doubt they would do anything that was labor-intensive or took hours to perform.

You could run similar testing on your own.

The Chillblast marketing department wants to emphasize it on their web site to get you to hit the "buy now"button.

I wouldn't get excited about it.

basic tests

that ive done to my own system is

valley benchmark
superposition benchmark
3d mark benchmarking

3d benchmarking is accurate and displays temperatures after test.

all good stress tests to see if the system is working as it should.


i use hw monitor to monitor my own pc which is good enough to get a general idea how its performing

link below

https://download.cpuid.com/hwmonitor/hwmonitor_1.52.exe

helps to monitor temps of components though some motherboard temps it may give a false tmpin6 temp of like 103c ( if your components ever hit that they would be fried lol).

if your ever concerned about temps or pc

have hwmonitor open start a game then play a game for like a 30 minutes to 1hr then close game and look at hwmonitor.

temps should be somewhere in between 50-75c on most hardware depending on cooling anything close to 80c to 90c is danger zone to me.

Has a lot to do with the projected use case.

On my own builds or repairs:

If nothing more than an office/work PC I simply do a clean install of OS, load drivers, do a few tweaks then turn off the power setting to put the system to sleep or screen saver. Then, I generally go to something like YT and just load up a long playlist and let the system run.

If the system is bound for gaming I generally use things like CPU-Z, Cinebench, Furmark (etc.) to put a load on the system for a period and make sure temps and stability stay inline.

I tend to agree with the above comment in relation to this being marketing spiel.
