Yes, its called a BENCHMARK test and it will not tell you anything unless you understand what you system should be doing a maximum performance.

Tweakers understand what their system should be getting before running such software and it is also use to see if a tweak had any significant effect.

Without knowing how well the system should run at peak efficency you will not know if the benchmark result is good or bad. That information requires one of 2 things to know where you stand,

1.  Comparison results of other towers of the exact hardware.

or

2. Experience in building and testing at which point you calculate that yourself.
