BEFORE YOU POWER ON

Checks that save a rebuild

Physical fit

Check GPU length, cooler height, radiator support, and motherboard form factor against the case manual.

Power and connectors

Confirm PSU capacity and connector requirements using current manufacturer documentation.

Test with context

Record ambient conditions, workload, test duration, driver version, and the exact result.

WHY FRAME RATE

Good builds
leave a trail.

Frame Rate is a place to compare build decisions and learn from what owners actually tried. Compatibility and performance claims should be checked against current manufacturer documentation and repeatable test conditions.
