Roast my gaming setup 🔥
Think your rig is cracked? Prove it. Feed your mouse, monitor, keyboard and audio into the roaster and get brutally — but honestly — reviewed. The twist: every burn maps to a real, cited bottleneck, so the meme that ratios your setup also tells you exactly what to fix first. It's your AimBench Setup Score with the gloves off.
The cope ladder
Your % cooked is the inverse of your Setup Score — and it comes with a title you did not ask for:
A taste of the heat
Real burns the roaster has handed out (no products named — it's the specs getting flamed):
A sub-144 Hz panel in this economy is a war crime against your own retinas. The enemy peeked, killed you, and left before your monitor drew the frame.
A membrane keyboard. In a competitive shooter. In 2026. Your counter-strafes are filed under 'eventually.'
Polling below 1000 Hz. Your mouse reports its position roughly whenever it feels like it. Relatable, but not winnable.
Open-back headphones in a loud room. You've turned 'hear the enemy' into 'hear your housemate, the fridge, and a distant lawnmower.'
It's a joke with a point
The roast is the hook; the fix is the payload. Under every burn is the same honest advice the rest of AimBench gives you — gear is a floor, not a booster. Close the bottleneck it's laughing at and your Setup Score actually climbs. Then the only thing left to roast is the person holding the mouse. 💀

FAQ
Is this just being mean?
It's opt-in and tongue-in-cheek, and it roasts your gear — never you. Every burn maps to a real, cited hardware bottleneck (the same diagnostics that power your AimBench Setup Score), just said with zero bedside manner. Underneath the jokes is genuinely useful advice on what to fix first.
Does it name specific products as bad?
No. Burns target categories and specs — a membrane keyboard, a 60 Hz panel, sub-1000 Hz polling — never a named brand or model. It's poking fun at setup choices, not trashing anyone's product.
How does it decide how 'cooked' I am?
It's the inverse of your Setup Score: a 0–100 hardware-match index built from the same flags the dashboard shows. 100% cooked = a stock office build; 0% = a dialled-in competitive rig with nothing left to roast.
Is the advice actually real?
Yes. The funny line is the hook; the fix beneath it is grounded in AimBench's cited evidence base (gear is a floor, not a booster). Close the bottleneck the roast points at and your Setup Score genuinely goes up.
