Need suggestions for a system Overhaul @ around 40K

[mukherjee]

Use HWINFO64(for x64 os).

I did bro...both HWinfo64 and the ASUS Probe II and CPUZ show the same readings...thats why didnt use HWINFO64 in the pics...

Now what?

ANd what about the temps?

Anything below 80c is fine. But I'd say try to keep below 75c for regular use.

Thats why I'm settled on stock for now...and 4.5Ghz with 102GFlops in IBT looks fine...dont it? Its reserved for the future when Bulldozer comes out

Faun got 62GFlops with his 2500K @ 4.8Ghz here...I think I'm covered.

Wat say?

Absolutely, and one more thing, with HT you get nearly 70% boost, so logically you have a 7 core processor, so when BD comes your 7 core will compete with AMD's 8 core,, so don't worry about it, BD does not possess a grave threat against the 2600k atleast. That's why AMD has the top end BD priced alongside the 2600k.

PS: Just run it in stock for now, why would you want to oc it now? I mean, I barely see my clocks jumping beyond 2.2GHz(one core), 2600k has a lot of muscle.

Yeah bro...am already on stock and wish to remain so until BD presents a significant threat to SandyBridge territory

 

[mukherjee]

Have been thinking of putting this up for a while now...Finally got my act together

Please enjoy the pictorial walkthrough of my new Sandybridge build....any exceptions and omissions may please be forgiven...

Are the WinRAR results OK? I have no idea. And why have you used the older version of WPrime? No direct comparison can be made with the stock result as that was done by the newer version. Rest are just very good.

 

[tkin]

Nicely done, next time keep ram timing at 2T, or you'll face stability issues later.

They seemed to be ok...
HWBot suggest use of the Wprime 1.55 version...dats why....
