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

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
