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

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
