For as long as we can remember enthusiasts around the world have been keen to see how their systems perform with many commercially available benchmarks from such companies as Futuremark. While these applications are extremely useful to a wide audience sometimes it can be helpful to focus on a ‘real world’ application which many of us use on an almost daily basis.
You can get the KitGuru Photoshop Benchmark 1(4) here. Please note lower times are better as this means less time is taken by the system to process the commands.

This impressive score shows just how well these new Sandy Bridge CPUs cope with real world tasks like Photoshop compared to an overclocked AMD 1090T based system.
Seems like a good enough system build, but I agree on the cooler choice, its not meant to be for high OC’s. more for moderate ones at relatively stock voltage settings.
Looks ok, not very exciting really, more for a price point. no SSD, dated GFX and average cooler. CPU is good, but what about the motherboards? arent they recalled?
Its all about the price point with this system. looks good. Not sure it stands out on KitGuru with all the awesome systems you guys get to review though.
I have bought from yoyotech before and their systems are excellent. This particular unit doesnt inspire me, it shows how hard it is to built a fantastic system for this price. if they spend £150 more they could have used
better cooler (needed for this clock speed)
better case
SSD.
All would have helped it massively.
It’s interesting to see the differences in build style in the pictures. One system has the PSU facing downwards and the other is flipped around. I wonder how this would change the overall air flow and cooling performance?
It’s also a shame that they didnt include extra fans in the front and top. When were talking about a 4.6Ghz overclock I would have thought you would want as much cooling as possible and It’s not like 2 extra fans would break the bank!!
