Show Us Your WEI (2)

Welcome to Seven Forums wall123.

Great scores, nice system, can we see the rest of the specs?

I was thinking that too but thought it was too cheeky. Nicley phrased though, perhaps it wouldn't have been too big a request. Always interested to see the components that earned the scores. Nice build this 1.

I've never measured, but I don't believe it taxes your system that much. OCCT or Prime 95 will run the CPU full on, that's where you'll find your maximum temps. A Guy

I tried that prime 95 program, I ran the test for about 11 and a bit hours (Stopped it in the end) with only a small increase in both CPU and GPU temps. I even tried playing a few full settings games (Sega Rally, Crysis 2, Starcraft 2, Street Fighter 4-this with the benchmark as well still got an A) these raised the GPU temps (Around 62c) but once I exited the games the temps came back down to normal. Will try the torture test tomorrow, that tests a bit of everything so it says. Perhaps that will give better results.

It sounds like you got good results already

So if it didn't break, even though I didn't finish the test then that's still a good result? I got confused when reading threads about how long to run for most said it needed more than an hour, but beyond that nothing is certain....I really just quit because there was little change in my monitors.
Thanks again for the advice.

The Prime95 test has to be stopped, or it will just keep running, unless there is an error.

There is some controversy on the length of test to run, the old school say 12-24 hrs, seeing a lot of new recommendations of 1-2 hrs is enough.
Also depends on what you do with your system.
I would say yours is just fine.

 

[A Guy]

I agree with Dave. I think the 24-48 hours is mostly for severe overclocks where it may run fine for hours and hours, and then error. But unless you are using your PC in such a way that it is stressed that hard constantly, then 8 hours max should suffice to show that the cooling and system are ok. Run OCCT for a few hours using the various tests, run Memtest, and you can assume you are good to go for years and years

Not the best, but hey, I can play my Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, and DNF.

Plus, multi-tasking works like a charm, no sluggish-ness -- surprisingly.

If it suits your needs, WEI scores be damned

My Video Performance gained 2 points in both the Graphics and in the gaming graphic sections with the last AMD/ATI Video Driver.

 

[Agent Zach]

I wish I could get the latest drivers.. Sony NAZI-rigged my GPU with some mayhem... I can install the newest AMD VISION/CCC and it can control my GPU, but the DRIVER itself can't be updated. The Catalyst Software Suite says it can't find any supported hardware, then insists that I contact Sony about updates.

FAIL.

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 is 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 available to all on the forum at a simple click. This is useful when you are asking advice or need help.

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

Thanks for the specs and entering in the 'My System Specs'.

Crucial m4 SSD Upgrade

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.

Very good i5 system numbers

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?
