Show Us Your WEI (2)

[essenbe]

Just finished this build last night. Cpu seems low at 7.6? It's at 4.3GHz, so I'm guessing the low score is due to no hyper-threading.

Great Scores. You are probably right about the hyperthreading. Mine was at 4.6 and I get a 7.7.

 

[Fumz]

Yeah, I figured clocking up wouldn't do much... if it wasn't at 7.9 already on default, then I probably wasn't going to see much movement.

**edit**

but at least Battlefield 3 is going to be looking badass.

 

[Dave76]

Nice scores, were you running anything when you did the WEI?
Was the AV running a scan, maybe?

 

[Fumz]

I don't think anything was running... but now that I've got an SSD, it's hard to tell? I can no longer hear the tell-tale signs of hard drive activity.

It's a fresh install as of last night, so it may have been doing some indexing... and I "may" have had a few instances of Orthos open, but I'm fairly certain they weren't running... it was late though. I'll re-run it today after running the dog.

Wow, great numbers Fumz. I think it's a conspiracy to prevent all 7.9's, lol. A Guy

Is it possible to get a 7.9 with an I5? I feel sure that if he had an I7 2600k in there overclocked that he would get 7.9's on all scores.

 

[Dave76]

It is almost impossible to get a 7.9 for CPU, has been done with huge OC and extreme cooling, N2.

I tried it with my I7 2600k , clocked it to 5ghz but it still only got 7.8

If memory serves me correctly, you, me and A Guy build almost identical rigs... now we're just waiting on A Guy to go Sandy Bridge and harmony will be restored.

Lol, my PC is just over 1 year old. Harmony is a long way off There may be a SSD in my future, but by the time I need a new PC, there will be a whole new platform, yet unimagined, lol. A Guy

But sometimes it's just fun to build another one.

My next upgrade for my system includes HAFX Case H70 Corsair Water Cooling a Crosshair IV Extreme 16GB DDR3 1600MHz A 320GB OCZVertex and an ATI 6990 these cost around £1200, it's probably more cost effecti to consider this build complete and use these new components as a completely new build and have two monster PC's. Truth is though I already run 2 Desktops and 3 laptops it would mean retiring this PC to a secondary and ditching my Dual Core completely.

 

[essenbe]

I had a similar situation. I have a Dell sitting in the closet now. It is sort of like a backup. Guess I should try to sell it.

Funnily enough the desktop I would have to retire is a DELL, thing just keeps running though, had it over 6 years and it never breaks, a good reliable secondary, It will be a sad day when I say goodbye to that.

I got lucky. We just bought a house, and have been spent the better part of the last 7 months renovating, etc etc... which explains my absence from the forums. My i5-750 is upstairs, the man-cave was incomplete. One day the wife was watching TV and I was roaming around the internet listening to music. Apparently this irked the crap out of her... and after she shot me those, "turn that crap down eyes", she said, and this I'll remember for the rest of my days, "I think you need a computer downstairs for when you want to get loud".

Well... I don't think I have to tell anyone here that I was at newegg even before she finished the sentence. Thus, the new rig. We would have had this conversation sooner, but that whole P67 fiasco got in my way... which turned out to be in my favor as the Vertex 3's finally made it to market.

My score: AMD 5770 GPU and WDC 300GB 10,000RPM HD (write cache buffer off).

Good numbers Guess the 10,000RPM gets you a .3 increase over the usual 5.9 for a spinner. A Guy

Good scores, and very good for the spinner.

My HDDs are killing the scores
