TechFuelHQ Datasets

What lives here

This is the canonical home for structured data published by TechFuelHQ. Every dataset here is structured (JSON + CSV), versioned, license-tagged, and traceable to a real test bench or a documented compilation methodology. If a number on this site appears in a chart, you should be able to click through to the underlying CSV, the test bench configuration, and the methodology that produced it.

This section grows as new benches are run, not all at once: a dataset is published only after the raw measurements, the bench configuration, and a written methodology are all in place, so what appears here is the audited end of the pipeline rather than a scratchpad. New first-party datasets are added as hardware is tested — the long-run goal is that every measured chart elsewhere on the site traces back to a row in here.

License posture

TechFuelHQ publishes two distinct kinds of dataset, each with its own license:

  • First-party bench datasets — measurements TechFuelHQ captured on its own test bench. These are TechFuelHQ Proprietary — All Rights Reserved. They are not relicensable, not eligible for republication, and not eligible for ML / generative-AI training use. Brief quotation with attribution is permitted under standard fair-use doctrine. Each bench dataset’s full license terms live in the LICENSE.txt file inside that dataset’s directory.
  • Reference compilations — structured aggregations of publicly available data, such as the PC Builder parts dataset (off-the-shelf component specs and street prices). These are published under CC BY 4.0 so that other builders, tinkerers, and tools can build on the same data layer.

Current datasets

Proprietary bench datasets (TechFuelHQ Proprietary)

  • ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5080 OC — 2026-06-09 First-party 3DMark synthetic ladder (Time Spy, Time Spy Extreme, Port Royal, Speed Way, Steel Nomad) across Stock / Factory OC / Manual OC profiles, clock-headroom, side-by-side Stock vs Manual OC power & thermal envelope, DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Gen Cyberpunk RT Overdrive ladder with PC Latency, and a 5-title 4K gaming gauntlet with 1% lows. Captured on the operator’s home test bench.

Open reference compilations (CC BY 4.0)

  • PC Builder parts dataset 30+ off-the-shelf components (CPU, GPU, motherboard, RAM, storage, PSU, case) with sockets, chipsets, TDPs, dimensions, and verified 2026 street prices. Powers the TechFuelHQ PC Builder. Free to fork, remix, and embed with attribution.
  • 2026 PC part prices — verified reference A browsable, category-by-category view of the parts dataset’s prices, each stamped with its last_verified date (currently 2026-06-09). A point-in-time reference with honest staleness labels — not a live tracker.
