New build for me...

they are zip files...forgot to install WinRAR on new rig. -1 internets for me.

LOL rookie move.

zip it...it happens to the best of us. It is running, but it isn't very pretty. OCCT is way prettier.

only rookies post about it LMAO

fair enough, but I stopped trying to prove how smart I am long ago....I also learn a lot more in a shorter period of time by realizing I'm kind of stupid. Is 6 minutes and a second a decent time? Is that how you judge performance with this program? How long it takes it to run through the 20 loops with no errors?

increase the problem size to as large as possible 25000+, 20 loops

also open up CPUZ twice once on the main tab and the other on the memory tab should look like this.

I just noticed that your system doest see all of your ram it's showing less than 1 GB?

no, that is what the test was set at for memory to use. I have it up to 10,127MiB and the problem size is up to 36,382. It took almost 10 minutes (for the first run!)..and I have temps on two cores at 51 degrees. Fans are still set in the middle.

ok good LOL, it should take you over an hour to run maybe longer because of all the memory, let it go until its done.

Wowsers...that took a long time. That is a solid test to check OC Results right there.

I still think that the rig did well stock, but I'd likely turn up the fans a bit if I wash really pushing it.

Great job you have to be happy with this build

Time to OC that sucker, RAM is running only at 1066mhz its rated for 1600 right?

it is rated for 2000mhz...lol

thanks vinnay

Well then OC that thing and lets see what it can do.

Savage do you want to run the rig overclocked 24/7 or do you want it to Turbo up to max clock when ya start using or pushing the system?

I'm going to use Turbo for the daily grind. Just going to OC to learn and have a little fun.

Third monitor is hung and installed...just waiting on the UPS man to bring me a longer cable and I'll take a picture. It looks really nice...3D Asus is pretty cool.

Well the UPS guy came really late today. I was already gone with the boys to practice before he arrived. He normally is here between 2-3 pm and he cam today after 6:00pm.

I wanted to show my office before:

Note the printers there on the left.

Then here you can see me getting ready for the new rig. Printers relocated and the side screens get mounted to the wall.


It turned out really awesome. Truly better than I anticipated!

I agree, AWESOME!!

Is that your basement?

yep...I work from home. My office is in the dungeon!

Might as well show you the gaming rig...

looks great Andre very well done

Looks to be quite the Man Cave! (wish I had one) :

Looks great Andre, I see you also have the Nvidia 3D Vision. Awesome setup, good luck.

Actually Bob, I was struggling a bit on the 3D-Vision decision. Your post about winning it and how much you liked the monitor helped the decision making process. After playing a little Battlefield 2 Bad Company last night in 3D, I'm pretty happy that I went with it. It was pretty cool. Just wish I didn't have to wear the glasses. I won't really jump on the 3D wagon until those are gone...

Thanks for the kind words all!

Savage, you should be very proud of the build and new setup. it looks awesome.
I am sure you will have a lot of fun with it. And let us know how that CPU helps with the software you use for work. Hope it makes a big difference for you.
