Show Us Your WEI (2)

Thanks for all the advice guys, happy to know that thios once HOT build is now running safely. All I did was go against Corsairs instructions to have the H50 Radiator sucking air in and have it blow out and now all is well. I have Air in at front and 2 side panel fans, and air out via the H50 Radiator, the PSU and a fan at the top of the case. I have an air intake next to the graphics cards but I cannot tell if my HD 5770's blow air out or suck it in. My temps are way better with the airflow going the proper way.

If you look at the bottom left of your post there ios a little drop down box saying "My System Specs" if you click this it offers you to "Update your System Spec" if you put all that information in there it will always be availanle to all on the forum at a simple click. This is useful when you are asking advice or need help.

OK, thanks and specs updated. :)

That's a solid build, I started reccomending I7 2600k to friends wanting an Intel build, performance to cost is outstanding.

Before Upgrade (Intel X25-V SSD 40GB)


After Upgrade (Crucial m4 SSD 256GB)



I finally upgraded my X25-V and now my system is pretty much maxed out on this chipset.

well it's a 1 year old laptop at this point. got it for 750. i would like to eventually update to an SSD vertex 2, or after (lots of manual labour) stuff one in as a boot drive. another thing to do is to update the processor. GPU, i don't think i can do.

i3-330M
4 Gigs 1066 ddr3
overclocked nVidia 310M (at the time of WEI)
5400 rpm hitachi i think; 5.8 i think is pretty decent for a slow drive.
the coolest part is i managed to get an official (but used) 12 cell 98 Whr battery for 24 bucks; i got it at a charge of 91Whr (woohoo) that translates to 7:30 battery life office use. 3 and a half hrs for flash stream. 4-5 hrs of movies.
im getting jealous of the new laptops though with their 6 cell batteries and 4+hr battery lives, though...

I obviously didn't read through every page, but I did read through a few. I get a 7.4, with the processor being the lowest score for me. I notice some people have 6GB of RAM (less than me) and they score a 7.7 while I score a 7.6, what's up with this? My GPU scored a 7.6 for both fields, and my SSD scored a 7.8. Anyone with the same SSD score a 7.9?
