nice overclock, pity you wasted it by putting your games on 5400rpm drives @_@

Do you know what a WD caviar black Hdd is? It's just the fastest spinning drive on the market. Forget raptor. Inneficient way to increase speed by rpm. Also you see the SSd there? Important games on there.

How is your Prime95 hotter than IBT? :ermm:

ITB will usually see 10 degrees more than Prime in every PC I've ever built from standard E5200 to overclocked everything!

Someone gimme 1800... I need to regeek myself. All i've done is build home/stocker PC's for friends the past 6 months.

Nothing fast or remotely interesting :(

Different days. In fact I was gonna say idle temps for the day, before the load temps in my post. But then I CBf. Lol

Yeh 1800 for my rig. Oc the 2600k is bliss.

My Setup

LAPTOP $699

BRAND: ASUS K52F

OS: Windows 7 Premium

CPU: Intel Core i3 370M, 2.4GHz

VGA: Intel Graphics Media Accelarator HD

DISPLAY: 15.6 HD/LED BL

HDD: 320GB

MEMORY: 3GB

GAMING COMPUTER $450 (Swap Meet Build)

BRAND: None

OS: Windows Vista Ultimate

CPU: AMD Athlon II x2 255 Processors (2 CPUs) 3.1GHz

VGA: NVIDIA GeForce GT 430

DISPLAY: Pioneer 50inch TV

HDD: 500GB

MEMORY: 2GB

For what part? :D

Plenty of parts that can be checked lol

Although i dont check my CPU anymore. It's run 4.2ghz or whatever daily for almost 3 years now, never got hot in the first 6 months and that was good enough for me.

Although i do make sure i clean it every 3-5 months from dust etc. And i do check the CPU after reseating the heatsink

  • 4 weeks later...

Would it be worth buying say a 60gb Solid State Hard Drive just to install Windows 7 on? And then run my games etc off another 7200rpm hard drive?

By doing this, will it effect games performance in a positive manner?

you'll see better boot times, but games won't really run any quicker.

I looked into it for mine, and thought "nah f**k that" and didn't have the cash for 2x VelociRaptors, so Caviar Blacks it was!

2x Velociraptors in RAID 0 will kick an average SSD and have al ot more space!

The PCI SSD's are still not as cheap as the 2nd gen SSD. They are line ball still even though they should be cheaper theoretically.

3rd Gen SSD's are coming out. I've been watching as I'm due to a refresh in the next 6 months and intel is due for another update in Q4 i believe.

So end of year will be good timing i think.

SSD wise - put the game(s) on it also. just having it on the OS is only boot time and sometimes load performance. However games do benefit from being on a SSD. No doubt about that

    • It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
    • I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.
    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
