    FFXIV Benchmark

    I've been using the FFXIV benchmark to test some hardware & software upgrades. I've recorded all of those results and am summarizing them below. Before the results, a few things about my process: I tested each setting and test resolution a total of three times to weed out any anomalies or...

    Just finished Project S-D..

    Thanks everyone! I'm just awaiting one more set of parts to arrive, and then I'll be digging into Phase II. (juggling it while trying to get in some AoC time should be interesting)

    Requesting input on OCing Q6600

    Just to clarify, I've seen several people mention to stay below 1.5v on the V.Core value. (my temps seem to stay really stable under prime95 load, even at 3.3GHz, they don't usually get over 52°c). Now I have 2 questions. 1) Is the 1.5v value the BIOS value, or the CPUz value? CPUz reads...

    Is electro-migration a result of heat, extra voltage, or a combination of both?

    Just finished Project S-D..

    I'm pretty proud of my case, and how well it came out for my first mod, but IDK if it is up to that level of snuff. Thanks though, that is a great compliment to think that could be a possibility!

    Project S-D

    As appropriate as it might be to include water, its probably not going to happen. Sorry. Still, what I have planned is, (I think), going to be pretty cool. Now I just need to get off my butt and get started on it. I've been busy OCing S-D though, so I guess I can use that as an excuse...

    So... did I blow my PSU?

    Well, i reset my CMOS, and everything is up and running again. Now I just need to go in and redo all of my settings. Thanks everyone!

    So... did I blow my PSU?

    I've just built a computer, and had OC'ed it to 3.3GHz on a Q6600. I'd been stress testing the settings again... (I had hit 15hrs on Prime95 the other night). All of my settings are stock, minus the V.core, which is at 1.4250 (in bios) or 1.410 (in CPUZ). At any rate, the computer BSoD on me. No...

    Requesting input on OCing Q6600

    So what is more deadly to a CPU, heat or higher voltage over prolonged exposure? I thought high volts would cause electron drift or something over the course of time...

    Requesting input on OCing Q6600

    Well, I think I finally have it pretty stable. My final OC specs are: 3.3GHz (up from 2.4GHz) V.Core - 1.4350 (in the BIOS), 1.410 (In CPUZ) VTT - 1.20 (stock setting) MCH - 1.25 (stock setting) ICH - 1.05 (stock setting) DDR2 - 1.9 (top of stock setting). My temps under full...

    Requesting input on OCing Q6600

    So I got everything pretty stable in 3.3 GHz, and am working at 3.4GHz. When I list the voltage for the CPU on the forum, should I list the amount I enter in the bios, or the amount CPUZ reads when the CPUs are at idle. For example, for 3.4GHz, I'm currently at: On the bios, I'm at 1.4450...

    Thanks a lot! Thats a great compliment.I figure a really high end case costs that or more anyway...

    I tried, but they all came out like garbage. I'll try again later. I will say that I am planning on enhancing the blue glow in Phase II, so that may be the more appropriate time to take photos...

    Especially the front of the case, it is 1-1.5" of solid acrylic backed by steel sheet. plus the acorn nuts add a little extra flair...

    I'll absolutely do this. I'll try and toss them up later tonight.
