I've seen a thread like this before but it seems to have been shot in the forum purging a few months back. So I figured maybe it's time for a revival. Let's see what everyone is running under the hood. Post pics of your system specs.
-
Well here are mine... thanks to my crappy graphics card, I only get a score of 3.2...
-
And thanks to a crappy HDD im only getting 5.1, use to be 5.6
-
:arms:
Experience index is massively let down by my processor :(
-
I'd give you mine, but my processor (a Q6600) died a few nights back and I've since come home..
-
GRRRR I want it to be a 5.9.... stupid memory.
I get two diff readings for GFX crap... so I chose the one from the Nvidia control panel.
-
Fear my machine. FEAR IT!
...yep. That's it. A laptop. I don't have any other computer.
-
I always get 5.9 for some reason...
-
I want to know why I'm not... the ram I have should be getting that value....
maybe someone can help me poke around in the bios...
-
I always get 5.9 for some reason...
Because 5.9 is the highest score available?
-
Fear my machine. FEAR IT!
...yep. That's it. A laptop. I don't have any other computer.
I'm just happy I'm not the only XP-hold out here! lol. (Death to Vista!)
-

Lol, yeah I know, I was trying to be funny.
-

Maybe the specs on your RAM are lower. I have half the RAM but .1 higher :P
-
The channels setup correctly and enabled in the BIOS I assume?
-
If I remember correctly you'll get a better score on RAM if your RAM has a higher clock speed (example 2GB of 400MHz DDR RAM would score higher than 2GB of 333MHz DDR RAM). Hope that makes sense.

My PC is powered by 1 elderly hamster
-
Here's my little monster :
GigaByte S-Series EP43-DS3l mainboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 2x 3.0 Ghz
4 GB DDR2 800 Mhz RAM Kingstone
Palit NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT Sonic 1 GB DDR3
Seagate 1 TB HDD Sata-II
HP w1907v wide-screen monitor (still hunting for same HP but 24' with HDMI)
Oh and I'm running on Windows 7, It's a lot better than Vista (runs smoother on games like Crysis, Fallout 3 etc.)
also dunno why but few months ago when whole install was clean the index on hard drive was 6.2 and so whole index gone up to 6.2 but now it's 6.0 ...
-
As it turns out, my system doesn't rank nearly as high as most of yours... *wimper wimper* But here it is...
Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 @ 2.0Ghz,
Asus P5GC-MX/1333,
ATI Radeon HD4670 @ 1Gb DDR3,
4Gb DDR2-667 [need a new mobo to recognize it all properly...]
1Tb SATA Seagate Barracuda HD,
250Gb PATA Samsung HD [need a new SATA Drive to replace this soon...]
LG 24x Lightscribe DVD-RW
Edit: Yes, I'm running a REALLY CRAP CRT monitor right now... it's all I've got to work with. :( I really need an LCD display pretty bad...
Edit 2: Hey El, is that 9600 GT integrated or something!? o.o; Why two cards like that...?

Hey how can that be you have Core2Duo E8400 (same as mine) and you only get 5,6 for CPU while I get 6,4 could it be different mainboard ?
-
Maybe you should edits the pics out of your post.
I'm not sure, I've never gotten anything over 5.9 in the assessment before.
-
I've re run the assesment and it's still showing the same
-
have 'em in my signature, but since people are attaching screenshots, thought I'd do it too. =P
-
Would be better but had to replace my CPU recently..

I just OCed this thing to 2.7ghz from 2.4 on air... still runs stable and cool!, didnt even change any voltages or the FSB or anything... just the multiplier :-)

Yeah I was about to post my new beast of a CPU coming, because everything will be the same except CPU and possibly the ram..just ordered a Phenom 2 x4 3.2ghz socket AM3 black edition ... its going to pwn everything :-)
but going to wait until I get it working since I was an idiot and didnt check the CPU support list for my motherboard first..since it supports socket AM3...but not the one I got, so now I have to use an unofficial beta bios to get it working.
Anyway stay tuned for a blow your pants off update! :-)

Hey guys any posting of system specs should be accompanied by screen shots. I probably should have specified that in the first post, but whatever I'll just specify now. Anyone can make up numbers :D Thanks guys.
-
Well I figured I would bring this thread from the mothballs to post my recent purchase...didnt get the parts here yet..but when I do ill post here again with pics!,since it will be built on the 11th of sept or around there:
CPU: Phenom II X4 955BE
Motherboard: ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790X <--its very cool looking :-) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131402
RAM: 6gigs DDR3 1600 Centon
Vid Card: HD4850 512meg(im holding out for the new AMD DX11 card coming out soon)
Drives:
2x 60gig OCZ Agility Series SSD's
Patriot PCXL25SR Convoy XL RAID Enclosure(for the 2 60gig SSD's) <--very cool device watch the video in this link: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4837634&csid=_25
1 OCZ CORE Series 30gig SSD
1 320gig Western Digital Caviar
1 DVD Rom/Burner Multidrive
850Watt Antec Modular power supply
Windows 7 RC Build 7100 until it expires in 2010
-
Im almost done!... waiting on the second SSD.. but I have a pic for ya...ill edit this one later to add the rest after I re-install Windows7(if it lets me..).
http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn134/BES12000/DSC00863.jpg
I didnt notice that ALL the damn SATA ports will turn into raid when I turn raid on in the bios for the SSD's ...so I had to use the 1 non-raid port for a 320gig drive instead of the 70gig raptor I wanted for the OS...
-
WOOT! ...now it hauls some butt! ...when installing things there is NO LOAD BAR!..now thats fast!
Now since I couldnt use a raptor as my OS drive the index for the drive is still low..I would rather use my RAID SSD's for games...
-
No one's posted here since September...but that isn't stopping me.
mwahahaha
Since then, in the past month I've got a HD4670 and an E7500, was going to get an E8400 but couldn't. Overclocked it, but not that much because of crashes and for some reason...my display drivers crashing.
-
Impressive. I need a new computer so friggen bad...
-
Woow, everyone tells me to reinstall to Windows 7. In Vista the limit for score is 5.9 :funny In 7, maybe I would get 6.8
Here some from my Vista. And still cant find a stable BIOS update. Only F6 works fine but its not showing the CPU name :'(
-
here's mine..
-
Still havent installed drivers. Thats for now.
-
might I suggest using a new program for this as well??
http://www.piriform.com/speccy
-
how can we rely on results that come from unfinished beta program?
-
... then you have done something wrong or you need new drivers...
how can we rely on results that come from unfinished beta program?
don't let the beta tag fool you... it is extremely accurate (I've tested it) and comes with tones of useful information...
even better, this program is by the minds who made ccleaner and defraggler.
-
Speccy is baffled by my graphics card. And it's your average ATI Radeon HD 4870
Memory Size 2815 MB
Memory Type HyperMemory
Core Clock in MHz 750 MHz
Memory Clock in MHz 900 MHz
-
Thanks Neb. Adjusted the sensitivity from the wheel. Now everything is normal.
Lionis, its normal to say that you have that much video memory. Its shared with the RAM and with the Video RAM.
I am with the same card as ou but I have only 2305MB of memory. Maybe you have more RAM installed.
-
I have "enough" of RAM. :D
-
here after using speccy.
-
Woow Neb, you have awesome soundboard :eek
-
yeah it is :D took $200 out of my wallet.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102021
-
Your graphics department is also running quite hot. Slight clocking perhaps? :funny
-
no stock... though it might be because the x-fi card is between the two... though I don't think it would matter much... a PCI slot cooling fan might work... though again I'm not to sure...
-
For now my onboard Realtek AC889A is enough, but without the Realtek driver the rear speakers are very, very quiet. Speaker fill is on and on the room correction the rear speakers are normal. I am with Creative Inspire T6100. Days ago I used to hear the music arround me, not in front of me. If anyone have solutions :roll .

Guess doing the Youtube video about Speccy was a good idea. XD
Seems to be more accurate for reading temps than SpeedFan for one, SpeedFan's off by 4C while Speccy is the same as the BIOS for me.

I need something better like Nebula's beast of a card, right now for my headset/mic when doing Youtube vids/VOIP I use my onboard C-media AC97 and for my 5.1 speakers a Trust 5.1 Sound card (mic quality's better through onboard than my sound card O.o).

Im ATi gamer too. On Windows 7 on DIRT 2 I have more than 60-70fps and I am with HD4870. Back with the Vista I was having 40-50. My HD4870 is powerful enough for today games. I will change my PC after 5-6 years because its good enough for gaming :P Cookie LordReserei. I am happy to see ATi gamers :) ATi is just a gaming gfx from steel :D

Cookie back at ya. =D
I'll probably have to say goodbye to mine sooner than you, HD4670 is the best card available for AGP but that tech's a relic...think I'll have to build a new one when my specs are well and truely past it's expiration date and when DX12 comes out (probably around 2011-2012). XD

heh I'm 50/50 with ati cards... I've had good and bad experiences with em..

Time for an update methinks!
For some reason Speccy doesn't like my graphics drivers;
ATI Radeaon 4850x2 ;)

oh ok ill post mine :P
btw - is it just me, or does no one get higher than a 5.9 rating index?
-

I think it's a conspiracy to try and get us to buy better hardware in hopes/belief we'll reach the theoretical max of 7.9 but mostly won't. ^.^
-
Its the harddrives that bring them down. Weird as I have a Raptor and Velociraptor drive, 2 of the fastest around.
Everything else is above 7.
-
heh for my vista system it's my ram >.< (need to install my win 7)
-
Apparently, if you have an SSD your hard disk score can be 7.0+
But you are going to feel a terrible person inside for having paid more for an HD than some laptops / netbooks.
-
rly?? 64 GB one for $200 XD oh joy
or a 128Gb for almost $300...
-
We will soon be having 64Gb in our mobile phones, and my keychain USB stick is 32Gb.
128Gb* for $300 (?190) is a bit better but:
2 x 1TB WD (5 year warranty) 7200rpm, 32MB Cache = (2 x ?70) ?140
Result: An 1TB RAID 1 array. And you have ?50 left over for candy. ($80)
*My Datas are about 411Gb.

It's only bug in the Rating program

Look at all the pretty Vista/7 systems, I think I'm the last XP user here...

I can get to 6.0, 6.1. AMD Fusion can boost up the HDD. If the HDD was SATA3 I would get 7.3 :eek My CPU and RAM are getting 7.3. Strange, even when I clock down the RAM from 1100 to 800. In the both casses is getting 7.3 :wtf Theres only 200-300MB/s difference but now I am on 1100mhz :D My GFX is reaching 7.5 on 750Mhz core and 900Mhz memory. When I clock her on 790Mhz core and 1100Mhz memory, she is getting 7.6 :) Not much difference but in Crysis there are 4-5fps more. Still I am afraid to clock my Phenom 940 to 3.8Ghz. With my case, which is not big enough for that kind of "power" my CPU on idle is getting 49C :eek
-
oh yeah, if you don't want to spend hours looking for drivers, I recommend drvermax. it checks out what your comp has, then looks updates from the web, then you dl them and let it install them, easy as that.
-
is it free?? I've encountered quite a few of them but they all want you to pay for a subscription.
-
My score is annoying since It was 7.9 everything last year..lol
And a HD5870 video card should be 7.9 but its not..
I only have one physical Hard Disk drive im using for the primary, if we could switch that before the test ..my score would be higher since the rest of the computer uses SSD's on a RAID controller.

-

There's both free and pay-for-all-bells-and-whistles-option. Free one is limited to 2 driver updates per 24h, and lacks automatic updates etc if I understood correctly. Give it a try, I did updater my ethernet drivers with it and by golly, there was 75% boost in dl speed! :eek
-
And in the graphics department I have Radeon 4870 with 1Gb ram if my memory serves me correctly. I've been updating the drivers too to latest versions which have lsightly hitched up my scores in that windows windows thingie.
-
Well since my old PC gave up the ghost; I'm stuck on Mum's laptop until tomorrow... So this is it...
-
that pc is a service pack behind lol
-
I know, but it's not mine; so not allowed to change anything.
Will HOPEFULLY be getting a Windows 7 PC tomorrow.

Mine works like a charm. Anyway, back on topic perhaps?
-

No. Despite the name, they have absolutely nothing in common. Packard Bell pulled out of the American market in 2000. Presumably because of lackluster sales. They're owned by Acer though I think.

I've had nothing but great experiences with their PCs though.

Is your GFX downcloked, because Im with Sapphire Radeon HD4870 512MB GDDR5 and I have 7.6
-
new version of speccy is out, I wonder if they fixed that GFX card issue.
-
yes they did.

New computer is finally working! :dance
This beast idles at about 2GB RAM usage :funny
-
Selling some old stuff + moneys = 80Gb Intel Gen 2 SSD. :dance
My storage stands as such then:
1x 80Gb SSD = Boot drive/Program drive/Game drive
2x1TB (Raid 1, thus 2x1=1Tb) HDs, for Movies, Music, Pictures, Books, Software .isos etc
The result is that programs like Photoshop etc, start fast as hell (as do boots), while all the media files still have plenty of space.
The worse data-intensive operation the "Library" does, is play a 1080p movie, and since it can do it no point for it to be faster.
I thus announce this system perfect & complete.

Have you updated the firmware on the SSD so it can make use of the TRiM commands?
And what's the clockspeed of the CPU? 2.67 of 4.00?? that one part of the screenie makes no sense to me :hithead:
-
Firmware: Yep.
The stock speed is 2.6 and the current speed is 4.

You really don't want to see what I'm using as a case right now!!! :doh:
-
My current case, is the Lian Li PC-A05N, and I am an extremely happy camper with it.
In case you are wondering, what you are looking at here. The PSU, is mounted on the front under the hard disks. This means that the entire case is exactly as tall as an ATX motherboard.
The end result, is that I get to fit my entire system in it (with this (http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&q=megahalems&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi) cooler and a 5870) in a tower that is actually small enough to transport in a small suitcase.
Here's how it actually compares with the antec 902:
Antec 902: 49.3cm (H) x 21.8cm (W) x 47.2cm (D) 11.5 kg
PC-A05N: 38cm (H) x 21cm (W) x x 49cm (D) 4kg
And the Lian Li actually seems to be cheaper...
The graphics card blows air at the rear, and the motherboard is upside down, sucks air from the rear and (along with the PSU) blows it from the front, from those holes on the side. So it's semi-reversed airflow or something, but I rather like it and seems to be working well. Plus I can warm my hands on the hot air coming out from the front side.
-
Frigging hell that must have been a b*stard to fit everything in there..
How's your cable routing? lol
EDIT
Just read the rest of the article..
I'm actually rather impressed. What was the build quality like?
EDIT 2
Thinking about it, wouldn't sending the heat out the front impact on the reliability of the hard drives?
And that is one mahooosive cooler you have there!!
-
And yet, everything fits, without having to bend anything.
I quite like the build quality.
You can open the side panel without using tools. Similarly, the DVDRWs and HDs slot in tooless. The second are mounted on some rubber thingies, presumably in order to be more silent.
Aluminium in/out you can also get an aluminium bezel/door thingy to place in front of your optical drive, as to not spoil ze looks.
It also has a small trapdoor on the top, with two USB ports and a Microphone & Headphone jack. More here (http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=289&cl_index=1&sc_index=25&ss_index=63&g=d).
-
Sounds very cool indeed!
-
Hmmm...
The PCI wireless card I hate will like being at the top!
I have got that 3 years worth of backpay (from ?700 a month to ?1000 a month) coming very soon....
:hmm:

lol, BES, you are changing your systems soo fast. Mine is nearly two yearold and Ill keep it for about 4-5 more years :eek
btw, is it F8G good BIOS for my GA-MA790FX-DS5, because its BETA and Im afraid. For F8A I read that it shows everything like CPU name, max multiplier and etc, but the PC restarts on the second hour. Im not sure if this F8G is good :(

Not sure, stopped updating that motherboard since a new BIOS update wont change anything for the way its currently set up, you might have to roll back to a previous BIOS..
Here look at this Cinebench result of my overclocked Phenom II X6 1090T attached link, used 100 threads in the test :) :
-
Is that the classic theme? :lostit:
Isn't that verbotten for aesthetic use in 2010 by a United Nations decree or something? :p

For some reason even with 6gigs of ram and 6gigs of page file im STILL getting errors about the windows theme screwing up while playing games... I got annoyed with it and switched to classic mode, but I still have gadgets :)
-
don't need to switch to classic... could go with Win 7 basic...

At least im proud of my impressive overclock :P , I cant get it any higher without the computer going bonkers..
-
You are just fishing for compliments aren't you? :P
At first I was: ZOMGWTF, a 6 core CPU, this is going to hurt.
But then I was: Mmm. Ok?
According to this: PCmark (http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/2799/72686964.png), Cinebench (http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/9093/45747241.png)
My little i7 920 remains faster than any stock CPU that doesn't cost a thousand pounds. *cough980cough*
My primary interest is also rendering, which is where I expected any 6 core CPU to run circles around, however Cinebench also rendered faster???
And that's with the 4Ghz overcloak. I know that the computer is perfectly stable at 4.2 as well but I just happen to like round numbers.

Well my overclock is different because I had to lower some voltages and lower the FSB settings due to an overheating issue, im thinking my motherboard is defective, was reaching 127F(limit is 130F im told) on the northbridge at normal voltages and speeds, so if I wanna overclock it I have to lower the FSB and increase the CPU multiplier, but doing that also lowers the HT/NB speeds and ram speed, IF I could increase the FSB speed then im guessing the bench results would be higher..
I come to that conclusion about the motherboard being defective only because I know someone thats overclocking the living crap out of the same motherboard I have(2800NB clock/2500HT clock, and some ungodly 350ish FSB) but his motherboard NB is still steady at 113F...
I dont feel like taking the motherboard BACK OUT to take off the heat pipe heat sinks , apply thermal paste and put everything back on tighter, ill do it eventually..
Currently I have it back down to 3.5ghz, everything else the same, it still gets a 6.0ish Cinebench score, im also actually thinking about going back to a socket AM2+ motherboard that can run this same CPU with a BIOS update..
-
See I just went back to the stock speeds of:
CPU: 3.2ghz
NB/HT: 2.0ghz
RAM: 1600mhz
I get this result with passmark performance test(I highlighted the 1090T CPU average speeds of 3394mhz):
-
Senator got me going on a mad overclocking spree to see if I can best his 8328.4 passmark score... sadly I couldnt but damn close!
I barely won the Cinebench test though :P
I cannot get it stable past this, wont work without a test failing... http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1185272
PICS!, I added a DIrt2 bench in the mix, everything maxed at 1680x1050 2x AA in-game, catalyst control panel 8x AA,8x AF, everything else maxed..
-
and F8G BIOS update doesn't work. F7 was even better because before you restart your PC second time, the system works, but in F8G the PC died. After that replacing the Phenom 940 with Athlon 6000+ to return the F6. Hehe, I have forgotten how slow are the dual-core CPUs :D Now im with F6 and with Phenom 940 showed like (AMD Processor model unknown) :D
-
I went with these final clock speeds with the above Phenom II X6 1090T system^^:
CPU - 3.45GHZ
HT/NB - 2432.5MHZ
RAM - 1351.2MHZ(8-8-8-24-31-1T)
I also settled with 8gigs ram total..
Got Unigine Heaven benchmark( http://unigine.com/download/ ) results with my 1090T system above:

getting new laptop soon... so once I do I'll show the specs here lol :D

My brand new laptop:
-
mum's lap top (HP 4520s). Hmm, its weaker than I though but for lap top is good :P
CPU: Intel Core i3 330m 2x2.13Ghz
Video card: ATi Radeon HD4350 512MB GDDR3
RAM: 2x2GB DDR3 1066Mhz
HDD: 500GB Seagate
screen: 15.6 LED or LCD with LED backlight, dunno
-
I just did an "upgrade", where not a single spec changed!
Instead I went from this (http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=289&cl_index=1&sc_index=25&ss_index=63) which I liked very much and is the best ATX case ever.
To this (http://www.lan-gear.com/microATX_classic.php) + a microATX motherboard.
CPU, GPU, RAM, HDs and the cooler were transferred as they were.
Result:
1 optical disk slot, except that I only have one anyway.
2 PCI-E and 1 PCI slots. But I only have 1 PCI-E card anyway.
Same Specs as before. Including the 4x4Ghz overclock, 6gb RAM and 5870.
Size: 288 x 217 x 370mm

Here's what I got In my new lappy that I got back In September of last year...
My Speccy Specs and Windows Score are posted below.
So far I have managed to run Mass Effect, Fallout 3, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Half-Life 2, Counter Strike: Source, and Sins Of A Solar Empire at 1280X720 at 30fps according to fraps. Except Sins and CS: Source which runs at native 1440x900 at 30fps, the rest of the have to be played with certain things on or off. For example:
Mass Effect:
AA off
AAA off
Ultra-High Textures on
Particle Effects on Low
Fallout 3:
AA and AAA off
Textures on High
Tree and grass LOD off
These don't really matter for me considering the FPS I'm getting.
And as you can see I am running 2 hard drives In my laptop, A friend of mine had me take off a panel on the back one day and we discovered a second SATA connection! So I have 2 Segate drives at 200 and 80GB. Woot!

Holy thread resurrection Batman!
Got a new computer for my birthday so I thought I'd show it off a bit. Nothing too fancy but still pretty decent compared to my old one.
-
I finally have a new compuetr and Its awesome!!! :dance
The NanoFx Viewer Looks so amazing on this!!! :D
-
I just upgraded a bit myself, my old MB died, so I had to replace it, which meant I needed new RAM and a new processor. it's not all that different from what I had though, I went from a 3.0 Ghz dual core pentium-D to a tri-core AMD 3.1 Ghz CPU, and I replaced my existing 2gb of DDR2 RAM with 4gb or DDR3 RAM, not much else changed, I kept the old GF8500 GT GPU and 300 GB internal HDD.
-
heres my specs of my custom build.
MB: Asus M4A88T-M
MB expansion slots: 1 PCI x16
2 PCI-E x1
1 PCI-E x16
CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 B40 3.01GHz
RAM: 2.00 GB DDR3
HDD internal 500GB (SATA)
HDD external 500GB (SATA)
GPU Nvidia GeForce 210
PSU: 470W
OS: Windows XP SP3 (windows vista pretty soon)
system running on all 4 CPU cores instead of the default 3 core system mode.
:P
what do you think of this?
-
what do you think of this?
I think you need to put up a screenshot like everyone else :P
-
i will, i didnt at the time i posted because it was doing a virus scan, and i dont like using PC's while theyre doing virus scans or updates, anyways, heres a screenshot from speccy.
this is all i can get seeing as XP doesnt have the newer system info screen....

Time to resurrect an old thread! Since I got a new graphics card I thought I may as well...
To be honest, I was expecting my CPU to be my lowest rating; but HDD apparently is (I need to get a fan for it; it's running warm even at idle)
Just a question; does ANYONE with a Hard Disk (set as primary) have a rating for it above 5.9? Or is the only way to beat that, to get a Solid State Drive?
-
Time to resurrect an old thread! Since I got a new graphics card I thought I may as well...
By all means resurrect it! I think we (as nerds :P ) would love seeing what rigs we all have! :D
Just a question; does ANYONE with a Hard Disk (set as primary) have a rating for it above 5.9?
I'm only runing a 5.9 for my hard drive, and I got a TB. Makes me wonder what the criteria for a 7.9 is... :facepalm:
-
read/write speed. so yea... need SSD to get the higher numbers.
-
Apparently even some of the fastest SSD's only make it into the high 6's...
-
looks like I was right...this thing needs a couple more fans in it. my core it running 60 C right now.
looks like I can add a lot more mem, though. it says there's 4 total ram slots!

what lenovo is it? im using a G550 (single cored peice of **** at the moment)
EDIT: attached is my laptops specs.

it should be written on the case somewhere, or on a white sticker underneath.
-
Ah its a G575!
-
wow guess youve got the best of my machine and the G540, as well as some other crafty new stuff lenovo implimented, ill post the specs of my self built quad later.
