How We Test Our Gaming PCs

At GeekaPC, every single gaming PC sold on the site is built and tested at our premises in Coventry by GeekaPC team members. Our detailed and extensive testing follows a strict process to ensure the builds we ship provide strong, stable and reliable performance to our customers up and down the UK. This page details more information our how we test our systems, and what you can expect from a GeekaPC when you order from us.

What Do We Test?

Gaming Benchmarks

We don’t just boot your PC - we push it. Each build is run through extended AAA gaming loops to verify stability, frame consistency, and thermal performance under real-world long-session conditions. The majority of our builds are directly based on build videos on the channel, providing transparent, verifiable performance data across a range of modern titles. As for our benchmarks shown on our site, these are pulled from gameplay footage and benchmarking data from the GeekaWhat YouTube channel. These results reflect true in-game performance at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions, depending on the system.

Synthetic Performance Testing

Once each order is built, our team test each PC with OCCT memory and combined tests. This process allows us to validate component performance and system stability under controlled conditions, ensuring each build operates to the highest standard before approval.

Thermal Testing

Thermal performance is checked during every benchmark to ensure each system maintains steady temperatures and consistent wattage under load. We monitor both CPU and GPU thermals to confirm cooling efficiency and prevent thermal throttling, ensuring consistent performance over time. This also includes adjusting fan curves to strike a solid balance of cool temperatures and low noise levels.

Stability Testing

System stability is tested throughout our process using multi-hour stress tests designed to push each PC to its limits. This helps us confirm long-term reliability, ensuring that every GeekaPC can handle prolonged sessions of usage without issue.

Built, Tested, and Proven

Tested with Purpose

Every system is benchmarked using real gameplay and stress tools, not theoretical numbers.

Attention to Detail

From thermals to stability, we verify every build by hand before it’s approved.

Proven Performance

The results you see in our videos are the same results your PC delivers.

Tested in Your Favourite Games

Alongside our synthetic benchmarks, we also test all of our builds with popular games that simulate a realistic load on your PC. We primarily use games that allow us to run a continual loop via a benchmarking mode so that we can keep your system on test for a prolongued period of time.

Quality Control and Final Checks

Quality Testing

After completing performance, thermal, and stability testing, each system enters our final inspection phase. Here we make sure every detail is perfect before it leaves the workshop. Every system is reset to the Windows 'Out-Of-Box-Experience', which maintains driver and software installations while allowing you to setup Windows to exactly how you'd like. Every PC is powered on, checked, and verified to ensure components are installed correctly, cable management is neat, and system behaviour matches test results. BIOS settings, memory profiles, and cooling performance are reviewed to confirm consistent temperatures and reliable operation.

Transparency and Our Commitment

We’re open about how we test because we want you to see exactly what goes into every build. The same systems we sell are featured across the GeekaWhat YouTube channel, where real gameplay benchmarks show the results of our testing process. What you see there is what you can expect from your own system.

Every GeekaPC is hand-built, tested, and approved by our in-house team. Our aim is simple - deliver systems that perform exactly as advertised. No shortcuts, no surprises, just reliable, tested performance from the moment it arrives.
