PCMark Vantage is a PC benchmark suite designed for Windows Vista offering one-click simplicity for casual users and detailed, professional grade testing for industry, press and enthusiasts.
A PCMark score is a measure of your computer’s performance across a variety of common tasks such as viewing and editing photos, video, music and other media, gaming, communications, productivity and security.
From desktops and laptops to workstations and gaming rigs, by comparing your PCMark Vantage score with other similar systems you can find the hardware and software bottlenecks that stop you getting more from your PC.
The overall PCMark Vantage score was 14761 which is also an impressive score for an i5 system.
Nice looking system. good overclock too. I think id opt for a different cooling system or just get the whole thing done right. no point having a 470 making a hell of a racket with watercooling on the cpu.
good selection of components, just a bit bewildered with the watercooling on the CPU but the GFX doesnt have it. cost ?
I hate their website, can never find jack on it. How much extra for GFX cooling with the kit they use?
I couldnt be bothered with water to be honest. id opt for the noctua NH D14, save £100-£150 and upgrade other components.
It looks nice and its a great talking point for a new user, but I think it is slightly unbalanced. there is no need for water. and although its used the noise is still high due to the graphics card – therefore pointless. Water is a noise reducer, but the loudest component in this system is still running via a fan, the 470. and they are not like the 460, they can get loud. I think this is overrated, but looks great.
Good build and shows the yoyotech prowess with the engineers. I know a few of them and they are skilled and great system builders.
Only problem I have with this system is that it appears to be more to be promoted in magazines (and they havent a clue lets be honest).
Watercooling should be used throughout or not used at all. Thats how I see it.
Should be using a 460 for noise levels. an OC’d one like the eVGA FTW. I like the build quality and the idea, but my 760 hits 4.2ghz with a frio and its silent down low. also my temps seem lower than this one.
I like this, looks great and the lighting is brill. I am not a hard user like some of you, but I like the hardware in it. Might order one , or get one with a larger HD but a 460 in it.
Can this system be customised? a few things id like to change.
That yoyotech website is a nightmare to navigate 🙁
I see no way to ship a system like this with a Noctua NH D14 in it, would rip the mobo apart. would need supports. and then you need to make sure the customers know how to work with the system. which is the whole point of buying a pre built – not to have to worry about it.
IS this for sale on their site? I cant find it anywhere. what is the point of a review if you cant buy it ?
