Congrats Sam9s....
Your need to plan your cable management very soon. It looks very much dirty & that cable management doesn't justify the CM 690.
That would be very kind of you. I still can't believe 6 seconds! WOW. Compare to normal HDD it's 5x faster, great.
and you said the CPU Idle is 35°C, what's the ambient?
Congrats Dude... love the load up speeds of WIndows.. its freaking Awesome, killer man... I thought that U might go for the latest Intel 510 SSD or the OCZ Vertex 3 SSD but who cares, u got the SSD wen many of us here are cursing the spinning mode of our HDDs to churn up a lil' bit more Mb per sec .. lol...
Hey thats a total useless air cooler, infact its just worse buddy... the cooling and temp lowering speeds are far worse than the T.R.U.E 120 (Rev C) or even the Prolimatech MEga Halems or Noctua NH D-14...
I know I am not much good in cable management ..lolzz ...... but getting this alone done took me 4 hours at a stretch .... I was so tired after the complete built, I didnt have the guts left to do a proper cable management ...... all sata cables are still at the back, I got 4 SATA IIs HDDs, 2 Optical drives, and one SSD, so you can see, lot of cabling is still not visible ...
About the cooler, I am sure N620 will do just good ...... but if at all I see that its becoming hard to controll temp, I might then go for a water cooling kit like Corsair H60/H70 ....
It is actually you got tir figure exactly right, 5x faster ....... I uploaded few more applications and windows does not seem to slow down .....( and mind you I have not even yet OCed the PC) ............ check out THIS article, and you would know what I mean .....
However to be frank, and transparent, the applications that uses internet to load creates a mess, like I use Trillian as my chat client, and what I installed that, I could ealisy see 1.5 seconds added to my 6 sec record, coz the bloody application connects to internet and then loads .....
Coming to the ambient, I guess it was around 32-33C, I am not sure, but AC is switched off ATM, so what ever is the actuall temp is the ambient temp .....

@sam9s...i too have the same processor with the same cooler hyper n620....but i am using a maximus iv extreme board with a haf x case....my ambient is around 30 but the humidity is very high as i am from vizag which is a coastal place..i get idle of around 43 for one core and the remaining are at around 38..are these good temps?at load while playing crysis 2 or unigine heaven the peak core is at 55 and the remaining are at 49...can you post your individual cores temps using hw monitor? With the ac on the temp on the peak core at idle is 37 and remaining are at 30...please reply.. I did not overclock.. stillat stock 3.4..
great config sam9s. where did you buy your components from???
