Nice review, I always buy enermax psu's! Last MODU82+ i got a dud but after rma (not to mention local so <4 day turnaround) its been running strong

New results, stock clocked e8400.. everything looking ok?

So it is a faulty HD, swapped it with a spinpoint f1 1tb, got 15.6 sec in superpi and 26 sec in wPrime. Tons better than before at least.Off to rma with the WD

Hmm so it might be a HD problem, 06-Quick Test on drive 1 did not complete! Status code = 07 (Failed read test element), Failure Checkpoint = 97 (Unknown Test) SMART self-test did not complete on drive 1!

I switched to a 4550 cuz i thought that maybe the 4870x2 was drawing too much power on my psu. I also disabled c1e and eist to test again. Even worse scores for 3d vantage mark , i only ran CPU tests.

This is also reflected in some of the games i play. I cant even run farcry 2 close to the max settings or at playable max settings that Hardocp listed in their article. I just got L4D and i cant even MAX that either ...theres a lot of stuttering

I have been monitoring the temps using realtemp and coretemp and they have been fine I also just installed this cpu , intel shipped me this one new just yesterday :S I had similar results with my earlier cpu so now I believe the cpu is out of the equation in terms of whats causing this...

Hello I am running a system with these specs and believe that my computer is under performing: Intel C2D E8400 Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R Xigmatek HDT-S1283 2x2GB DDR2 800 PC6400 OCZ Gold (OCZ2G8004GK) 625W MODU+82 Enermax PSU Radeon HD 4870x2 Western Digital SE16 640GB Antec P182 SE...

omg even worse news.. i ran 3dmark vantage... WOW... im just stunned.. something is really wrong with my cpu.

Hi guys I recently got farcry 2 and was wondering whats up with my performance with this 4870x2. I'm running e8400 at 3.6ghz and catalyst hotfix2.. I ran ranch small at max settings with 1920 x 1200 res and these are pretty disappointing results.... it was stuttering most of the way...

im in!

was a faulty psu, got it replaced and its all good now.

Just have patience, push it in and twist it at the same time. That's is how i got it through, then u can try to pull it from the other side as u push.
