cheers for the dl jimmy - yea runs at 1065 not 1066? weird ??

[liljim]

wow, weird indeed. Im clueless man.

heres some pcmark 05 results. I think you quad core guys should really shine here. I ran the entire suite of test which took about 30 minutes in all.

I didnt change any settings, only selected all test. My machine was running at stock speeds.





This is the online results

[robbro]

heres my results jim with no overclocking :








not too bad but id thought id get better?

[liljim]

Im truly amazed, i though it would have been way higher. Its showing your cpu at 2.4 GHz but the bus speed at 2400. I think it should be higher so im going look into it now. I'll let you know what i find.

hey jim i know i being fussy but look at this from my bios :



nb and sb are way high?? dunno wot to do ... was gonna get a VGA cooler to see if its my gcard?

[liljim]

Those are north bridge and south bridge temps and are not related to the vid card in any way. These are chipsets on the board itself. They are a little high and i think you need better airflow through your case or the temperature in the room that the machine is in might be too warm.

hmmm the airflow is alright i got big fan at the back and at top of case also one at bottom near power supply plus cpu fan thats blowing air out of the system they are on full blast and its noisey so dunno why nb and sb temps are so high :S

[liljim]

Its not something to be super concerned about, your machine will shut down at 90c with the overheat protection and your well below the threshold. 63 seems a little warm in my opinion but its not in danger. Go play some games and enjoy the thing. Maybe one day i'll get to utterly destroy you and venney in a deathmatch somewhere.

[robbro]

haha yea i guess so im fussy m8 sorry to trouble u loads ;).

Any new games i can buy that are good ?? i just recently got tf2 for pc even tho got it on 360 its well fun online is MANIC everyone getting blownup or on fire lol! its much harder then 360 version i rekon as you get loads of pro pc gamers in their clans! and also theres more players so you get ganged on you should get it jim !

[venney]

tf2 is great fun
Its so much harder to play on your own than css is. If im in a good mode (as in doing well at the time, as this changes from time to time) i can take out tonnes of people playing css. On tf2, you just cant do it on your own, you really do need team mates or friends. I love both of them

[liljim]

tf2? you reffering to team fortress?

[liljim]

Right now im back and forth between call of duty 4 which is amazing, unreal tournament 3 is really good and FEAR perseus mandate.

Im a big FEAR fan so im playing it the most and its every bit as good as the first 2.

Unreal 3 stepped up the graphics and added some kick ass maps, havent had the opportunity to play on lan yet but hoping to soon.

Call of duty 4, wow. Axelation turned me on to this one and its great on all levels. The gameplay looks just as good as the cenimatics, unbelievable character detail and textures. You have to listen for orders which causes you to pay more attention to whats really going on around you. The sound and blur effects when a grenade or explosion of some sort occurs close to you is unmatched by anything i've ever played.
