it's probably because his cpu needs to be reseated or the ram or both.

  Exactly what I was going to say.

for 2d benches how does having only 1 stick of ram effect the score compared to 2 sticks?

never tried but I would guess it would have a pretty big impact because you wouldnt be running dual channel just single.

I see many using single channel for max cpuz validation. How much of an improvement is it actually, over dual channel? Does it help b/c it puts less stress on the memory controller?

Sweet. Got a 930, HAF 932, MSI HAWK 5770, EVGA X58 Micro, Corsair HX 950, and another 6GB OCZ Gold RAM kit incoming. (Parent's build, I should have it until the end of this month to do as I please... Or bench that is.)


Oh and... my personal favorite, Battlefield Bad Company 2.

Wich socket are you talking about. They didnt start putting the memory controller on the chip untill 1366, im sure you knew that so I must have misunderstood. Max cpuiz dosent calculate anything either so single channel dosent matter but for a pi run your memory is very importand you dont want it to work at any thing lower than its max potential........ however Ive never tried or thought about it so there is plenty of room for someone to prove me wrong

I may have an extra chipset block for that micro if your interested ;)

Good LORD falcon?! damn near 57K!?  I was struggling for 47K (which I will STILL do a back flip if I get it...

Of course I'll have to burn it in with Vantage and Wprime, Spi, 01,03,05,06... Mhm it'll be like Christmas.. Can't wait for BFBC2 though, it looks so sick.

Hehehe. I may be but they'll be on air at first. I'll definitely PM you if they decide to go water though.

Couple quick questions about chillers.

What is a good price for a used:
5k BTU?
12k BTU?

Also, what parts in it need to work, and what can be broken (obvioulsy for modding it to make a chiller loop)?

What kind of temps would the 5k hold and 12k hold for a s775 quad or dual, and maybe a midrange gpu or two?


I'm looking at Craigslist, and there are some insane deals...
