Show Us Your WEI [3]

[StalkeR]

Going to put together a different system in the next few days, maybe I can get the new system to 7.9 across the board with a little OC on the i7 3960X. 7.8 on this 3930K is pretty good since it is running at stock right now.

Don't look at my system specs right now, I have sold a couple weeks ago when I started reviewing the new X79 motherboards.

Great ! No 7.9 with 3930K ? Have you tryed oc'ing it ?

Kipper that is definitely a Muscle Rig, waiting for the pics...or it never happened

I will get out the camera and get some posted today before I start a couple new upgrades.

When I first put this system together on the bench I did OC to 4.5GHz but never noticed the WEI. I never put much interest into this score but it is fun to chat about here.

Are you going to keep the 3930K chip when you put together the 3960X?

I guess it's to be expected, but I still find it funny that if I threw my video card into my HTPC, it'd be a much better gaming machine (and much quieter) than my actual gaming system.

I am still thinking about what I will do with the 3930K.

Thinking about putting it together with one of the boards I reviewed and selling them as a package.

Very nice scores. It is just crying out for an SSD.

Me too.

My WEI

Not perfect, but I can live with it.

 

[xXSevenXx]

I added an extra 6gb of ram and my memory score went from 7.8 to 7.7, any idea why? Do I need to do anything to the BIOS settings?

Looks pretty perfect to me. What is the CPU - an i5??

Thanks! Yes, it is the i5 2500K, but it isn't overclocked. I considered an i7, but since I don't do much gaming, or photo/video editing, I couldn't justify the extra expense.

That CPU is easy to overclock and that will be cheaper than an i7.

I did try overclocking my i5 from the stock 3300Mhz to 4400Mhz using the Asus utility in the system bios. It worked fine for a while, but then I started having stabilty issues, so I set it back to stock. I need to do a little research into OC before I try it again.

 

[whs]

I would go a bit less. Maybe 4000MHz. That should fix it. Maybe also change the stock cooler for a better one.

Nice scores,Littlejay. Good job.

You may find this article good reading on the subject.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks!


Thank you essenbe! This computer is only a few months old and I have really been enjoying it!
