Show Us Your WEI (2)

[whs]

Yeah, I thought it is quite nice for a laptop. And I first thought it may run hot, but it really does not - even under heavy video editing chores it stays below 50C. Now my desktops look old. But the finance minister is now sitting on the purse - LOL. Will have to "squeeze" it in bit by bit.

My "Glorified external HDD enclosure"



(In other words a repurposed old rig )

When I first built my rig over a year ago I built it around a small Intel 80GB SSD. While impressive over time I found 80GB to small I ended up removing it and installing two 500GB in Raid0. Now I had the space but missed the speed of the SSD. Today I recieved and install a new Mushkin Collisto Deluxe 240GB SSD I also bought my first full copy of Windows 7 Ultimate untill today I have always used OEM builds. This is a quick run as I still do not have my system completly set up. I work a 6 P.M to 6 A.M shift so the rest will have to wait till tomorrow.

Impressive, you must have quite a beast of a graphics card - or 2. But why not use the SSD AND the Raid.

Hi guys, i'm new here.

Here is my WEI.

I know, it's not very good.

Most people (including myself) would be happy to have your WEI/System.

Due to some instability after 2nd graphics card in crossfire I took everything back to stock clocks. I was surprised that all I lost was 0.1 on graphics card score, nothing on CPU or RAM. It's completely stable as well.
I hope that the CPU upgrade I have planned in the near future (AMD Phenom II X6 1090T) Will unlock some of the potential of this low-mid WEI 7's gaming PC.

thanks for sorting me out Dave76 and derekimo.

Anusha, yeah 5x4gb and 1x 2gb. Why. I had it so I put it in

Now looking for a nice fanless graphics card.

Cheers

You're welcome James, glad to help.

From my Christmas present - Sony laptop

Nice laptop

I have all 7.6 and above except my 5.9 hard drive transfer rate. I NEED A NEW HARD DRIVE!

You should get a SSD, even if a small boot drive, they are incredibly fast.

Dave is absolutely right. You need a SSD. Look at my Sony laptop a few posts earlier, that is an OCZ Vertex2. It would get you right where you want to be - at 7.6. Any spinner will stay at 5.9 - main reason is the slow access time.

can you turn a SSD into a external drive?

can you turn a SSD into a external drive?

The C300 had actually came with a USB adapter, but I doubt that it is USB 3.0; the chances are that it is just SATA 2.0.

With the SATA 2.0 USB adapter the maximum transfer rate would be around 40MB/s; with true USB 3.0 (not the claim on the box but actual speed) the drive could reach it's maximum 355MB/s speed.

If you don't have a USB 3.0 port, you'd be better of getting an SSD with SATA 2.0 interface that can easily max out the USB 2.0. The same size drive would cost you a third less than the C300...

nice scores.

Thanks...

If someone would've told me a year ego that the CPU will be the bottleneck in my home desktop, I would've laughed my lower, lower, back of...:roflmao:

With just a change of the BCLK to 160, leaving turbo and all power savings on, I get 7.4 with my i5, and 7.7 for my 4 Gig's ram now running natively at 1600MHz.
