    ....when they come in TB and cost less than 80€ I sway the SSD way :D, I just cant see the value of them yet, sure they're fast but its like those days when we auld fellas used floppies, we just didn't want to part with them untill they came up with CD ROMS ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44 Silver09


    Fair point ,but using them for just the operating system makes a massive difference to performance(15 sec. boot up time!!!), can use an old mechanical drive then for storage.;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,777 ✭✭✭flyingsnail


    ah, go on then
    sxgfhs.jpg
    Full system is
    E7500
    4 GB DDR3 1600 corsair dominator
    1GB 5850
    MSI P43 C51
    2x 1 TB spinpoint f3
    Corsair TX 850 psu
    Cooler Master 690 original case.

    keep 'em coming... the gtx460 is holding up well against that 5850


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 4,282 Mod ✭✭✭✭deconduo


    Just to show that this means nothing:

    5770 > 460 > 5850 lol.

    Also my SSD isn't being scanned as my primary HD for some reason. (Possibly due to registry fuxxery)

    Actually 4870 > 5770 > 460 > 5850 :p

    nuxxx is that a 1gb model 460 and what have you running at?

    Yep 1 gig version, i pump it up to 825mhz usually on the core using msi afterburner. It could prolly go a good bit higher, havent tested it nor do I want to chance my luck. :)

    The CPU sits idle around 1.5Ghz and hits 4 when im gaming etc, all @ 1.1-1.2volts


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,698 ✭✭✭Gumbi


    My first build, CPU isn't OCed yet, and it idles at 18degrees, my GPU @ 22degrees (not OCed yet either):

    If you click "View and print detailed performance..." You`ll get a screen of actual system components. :)

    Thanks. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44 Silver09


    I've mine stable at 900mhz(gpu) and memory at 2000mhz with the voltage set to 1.037v without much issue, this is the 768mb cyclone model though, that afterburner sofware is really good.

    Changing the stock voltage isnt something im really comfortable with yet, still learning :)

    Im gona pickup another 460 for sli just before xmas, cant wait.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44 Silver09


    Nice one, will be a machine to be reckoned with then! Afraid i've blown my budget for the time being but with some choice upgrades i've given my rig a new lease of life.(SSD really makes a difference)


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 18,381 Mod ✭✭✭✭Solitaire


    Can't believe an X4-965BE is rated higher than my i5-760!! :eek::p 7.7 for graphics though, go stock HD6850!! :D

    Still, no SSD = 5.9 rating :rolleyes:

    Add an overclocked Q6600 B3 @ 3.0GHz to the list as well. :pac:

    You need a SSD!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 475 ✭✭jspuds


    Can squeeze 7.3


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44 Silver09


    Jeez jspuds what type of hard-drive setup are you running??


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 18,381 Mod ✭✭✭✭Solitaire


    Either RAIDed or SSDs :p

    Deffo time for some upgrades.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,181 ✭✭✭Serephucus


    6.8... that's what I get for a "value" SSD...

    Ah it's nothing that a bit of overclocking wouldn't sort out.

    Good to see the hard drive is not holding back the score!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 413 ✭✭Skittle


    Here's mine:

    Can anyone explain why my i7 930 overclocked to 4GHz only gets a rating of 7.7:eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,181 ✭✭✭Serephucus


    4.2! :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,983 ✭✭✭Tea_Bag


    wieee.jpg

    not too dissapointed tbh considering it was a budget build. i did get lucky with the processor though, it unlocked to a phenom 2 X4 with the juicy L3 cache.

    also, there's an SSD in the pipeline somewhere.


    cant wait to see flaccus's.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,815 ✭✭✭imitation


    attachment.php?attachmentid=135121&d=1289948820 I have to say, the performance index's apparent log nature makes me feel pretty good about my 2 year old system :D I think 3D mark or the likes would beg to differ.

    I have the same score with a i7 920@380ghz so could be the max from a i7 chip maybe? What you using for a main HD btw?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Not mine but one I built for a friend. Core i7 920, 6GB DDR3-1333, 64GB Corsair P64 SSD, GTX 285.

    seconding everyone who wants to see what skittle has under the bonnet =P

    if you click on the "view and print detailed performance and system infomation" you get a much better read.

    how often does microsoft update the index? it says that its currently limited between 1.0 and 7.9. surely hardware has moved on enough since they first brought that out?
    im thinking a pci-e flash REVO drive (version 2 is released, with a read and write speed of nearly 1gbps/800+mbps respectively) will exceed a standard raided SSD system, which should give 7.9?

    Hi all,
    Firstly apologies for not given the details of my rig, but here they are now:

    CPU: i7 930 OC'd to 4GHz (air cooled with Primatech Megahalem)
    Mobo: Gigabyte x58a-UD7
    GPU: NVidia 480GTX
    HDD1: Crucial C300 128 GB SSD on a Sata III 6GB/sec interface
    HDD2: Samsung F3 1TB
    RAM: 6GB Crucial DDR3 1600MHz
    Audio: Asus Xonar D2X

    It's a beast of a machine, but I take my PC gaming seriously:D
    (Oh and I've no mortgage)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44 Silver09


    Almost a clean sweep there skittle!! Must have spent a fortune!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 895 ✭✭✭Dubba


    This is mine

    Looks like my HD is bringing down the score, I'm guessing its due to lack of partitioning :confused:

    Runs great tho :D

    Nope, it's simply because it's a HD, you need a SSD to break that barrier. I once managed to score 6.0 with a RAID 1 but that was probably a fluke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 958 ✭✭✭ninja 12


    Here's my two .

    I recently added a Sapphire 5770 Vapor-X to my HTPC , so I could play games on it . I'll probably upgrade the CPU at a later stage . It's only got an Athlon 5050e in it at the moment .

    +1

    As much as I'd like a 7.7 average my Spinpoint F3s do the job well enough for the moment.
