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

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
