Show Us Your Rig [2]

Linnemeyerhere, A Guy and Dave76

Thanx for the input,I have just set them to the 18something setting,the only other one higher is 2133,and it gives a overclock error on start up,so now it's on the 18something setting,it uses less voltage=less heat,so I am gonna keep it there, At least it is still 12gigs of it, Only problem is that my windows 7 rating are 7.9,for desktop aero,7.9 for gaming gfx, 7.9 for hdd BUT only 7.5 for memory and cpu. But will near the end of the year get a sandy-bridge mobo and cpu thing. So for now the ram runs less than it should, but I thing it will take me years to figure out how to oc the cpu and so on , STILL thanx for the advice.

I'm testing this out for a couple of days..

I put another 22" display under the glass surface of my desk.. On it I have Google Voice, Gmail, IRC and Pandora running 24/7. For the past hour that I have been using it.. It's EPIC!

I'm going to try it for the next couple of days, its pretty sweet so far though!

That looks awesome!!!!!!!!

Haha.... Pretty awesome idea there! Never thought of trying that..

Looking at that pic though, I found something a few days back that you would probably appreciate more than most people. Check out the L3p D3sk.

I have been lusting over that desk since I first saw it in... about April. I want to do a full on custom desk really bad, but i'm trying to be creative with what I have. I can't put too much money into my desk (or computers) right now, cause I need to put some money into my car.

I know that feeling.... I need new shocks, springs and rims. Damn dirt roads, they $#@! up a car fast. Lol.

Complete with water cooling radiator under the floor...?

Hehe.. I'd be happy with a wall-mounted PC mod, been thinking about it for a while now, just need to get another case to mutilate (hopefully before my Dremel rusts from lack of use)...

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Hey here's a thought how about running the systems water cooling loop through a radiant heating loop under the floor or the room. That way you can get that even heat glow under you as you compute.

I finally figured the ram out, now all except the cpu that still scores 7.5,my scores are almost all 7.9, just need to up the cpu and then eureka 7.9!!

 

[A Guy]

Just remember, the WEI is just numbers. Don't worry about them

Perfect scores will always be lusted after

That desk looks great! I am still working on getting two matching monitors lol.

I would not obsess on the cpu score... not even 5GHz i7's do 7.9.

Hehe,yeah, but it still nice to see high numbers

It's in our blood, we can't help but wan't more or better stuff...even at the cost of things that actually need fixing,like a car...

Interesting, I didn't know that, what about those sandy bridge cpu's? And yeah since I don't know @#$% about overclocking a cpu, I will stick with the 7.5 base scores.

 

[Fumz]

At 4.7GHz my 2500k only put up 7.7. Jeepman tried at 5.somethingGHz and only got a 7.8.

 

[Dave76]

Very difficult to get a 7.9 for the CPU, need 6-8 cores and liquid N2 cooling to OC that high, it has been done.

This is probably the best marketing strategy ever thought up, the CPU manufacturers are really benefiting from this thing called WEI.

The fastest CPU with the best water cooling can't get past 7.8.

 

[sygnus21]

This is probably the best marketing strategy every thought up, the CPU manufacturers are really benefiting from this thing called WEI.

You could add SSD drive manufacturers who are raking in the dough as well

Anyway my WEI score is 7.6 due to my 7.6 processor score - which is a Core i7-950 overclocked to 3.84GHz.

I don't worry about the score though as I'm happy with my system and understand the intent of WEI.

 

[Alsisgevat]

Yeah,like everyone said I know the wei scores are just a marketing scheme, but it seems that many people fall for it,and YES I am one of them . But I am glad I posted the scores, I honestly didn't know the cpu's couldn't score that high without cooling and so on. Glad I know now. Thanx all.

 

[Alsisgevat]

Ok,this is the last time...hehe. But got .1 higher on cpu without high oc.
