cygnus Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) Well guys, the time came. I finally built myself a new system.Heres the parts:Intel Pentium Dual Core E2140 1.6Ghz1Gb DDR 2 667Mhz Ram250GB Western Digital IDE HDD (Should have gotten SATA, but bought this drive before getting the new system) Will be upgrading this to 2 X 500GB SATA drives come Christmas Nvidia GeForce 7300LE 128MB PCIe Video CardECS 945GZT-M Mainboard - ECS's siteI loaded Vista Ultimate on it, and was more than happy with the results. The computer runs amazingly compared to my older AMD Athlon XP 1800+ system. I encoded one full length CD to MP3 in 1 minute I thought I'd post some screenshots from it:As you can see, the score isn't exactly the greatest, but upgrading from a 5 year old system, its a helluva difference :lol: Edited December 6, 2007 by cygnus Quote

cygnus Posted December 6, 2007 Author Posted December 6, 2007 I should post some pictures of my system. I never did O_o Quote
LUZR4LIFE Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 LOL. FORGET the score. I only got a 3.2. LOL. Quote
cygnus Posted December 6, 2007 Author Posted December 6, 2007 lolThe PC I just built my brother scores 4.8.It's an Intel Core 2 Duo E4500, 2GB Dual Channel Ram, Geforce 8600GTS, ASUS Mobo. Runs **** well hehe Quote
LUZR4LIFE Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 lolThe PC I just built my brother scores 4.8.It's an Intel Core 2 Duo E4500, 2GB Dual Channel Ram, Geforce 8600GTS, ASUS Mobo. Runs **** well heheI wonder how it determines the score then. I thought mine would be much higher, with my hardware. But my lowest score was the Video card so I think that may be it. I hadd al 5 - 5+ but the video card was 3.0. Quote
cygnus Posted December 6, 2007 Author Posted December 6, 2007 That'll do it lolSame video as mine? 7300 LE? Quote
NIM Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 I've finally connected all of my PC components and just run the index check..Is this good I got the lowest score on my memory performance which is Corsair XMS2 DHX DDR2 800 Quote
NIM Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Strange, Asus PC Probe shows the temperature of the processor 23-29 celsius which is good, but for MBO is 37 and my treshold is 30 ??? Threshold was set to minimum..I've moved it up to 45 celsius, is that OK. I mean 37 celsius isn't much for a MBO, right? Quote
LUZR4LIFE Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 I've finally connected all of my PC components and just run the index check..Is this good I got the lowest score on my memory performance which is Corsair XMS2 DHX DDR2 800 Not to bad N1K. LMAO, joking. I need a new vidoe card to score higher are stats are pretty close. Glad to see yoaving it up and running. I know the speed is going to blow you away, it did me. Quote
cygnus Posted December 6, 2007 Author Posted December 6, 2007 The mobo temperature shouldn't really be that high. Probably a sensor just out of whack. I wouldn't worry too much about it, as long as you have good cooling in the case and lots of air flow, you'll be fine. I never really trust those temp sensors. Quote
NiX Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 Nice pc there m8, i mean for the money it is good.Now overclock the proc You can get it to 3.0 Ghz easy without touching voltage and you have cpu witch cost's 3x more Quote
NIM Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 Nice pc there m8, i mean for the money it is good.Now overclock the proc You can get it to 3.0 Ghz easy without touching voltage and you have cpu witch cost's 3x more Probably will do, but not with this cooler, although current temperature of the processor is 25 degrees and 38 degrees on MBO..so it could do the work with the hight clock setting..

NiX Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 If you don't tuch voltage then you temp will stay the same ( +/- 3 degrees ).Free Mhz ftw Quote
windowsguy Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 As you can see, the score isn't exactly the greatest, but upgrading from a 5 year old system, its a helluva difference :lol:yeah, my comp score is 4.3 Quote
