HQV Benchmark 2.0 is an updated version of the original tool and it consists of various video clips and test patterns which are designed to evalute motion correction, de-interlacing, decoding, noise reduction, detail enhancement and film cadence detection.
There are two versions of the program, standard definition on DVD and high definition on Bluray. As our audience will be concentrating on HD content so will we.
This has a total of 39 video tests which is increased from 23 in the original and the scoring is also up from a total of 130 to 210. As hardware and software gets more complicated, the software has been tuned to make sure we can thoroughly maximise our analysis.

The hardware scores 192 points out of a possible 210 which is excellent.
I built a system for the same price. Very closely matched actually, except my cable routing is a mess.
They seem a good company.
Never even seen that case before, looks very aggressive. I like it.
Seems like a good well balanced system, only thing I would change would be the cooler. get the H60 and overclock it to 4.7 or 4.8. only £30 more.
GOod company, my friend bought the last system Kitguru reviewed from them and he loves it. this looks good too.
this isnt available on their site I looked everywhere for this system as there finance options are really great. Pay within a year and pay Zero interest.
Vhero, its a special system deal – link is in the conclusion page – https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/reviews/
I have this case it has great cooling and is very quiet even though it has five fans as standard
