IIRC it hits the mid 50's under a full load. I do have a fairly pricey cooler on my system and it's a specialist overclocking case with 7 extra fans. Sounds like the new chip will be quite a bit cooler though, with it being 45nm.

HDD - ST3250310AS

 

I don't know how much cooler the 45nm chips will run, they do need much less voltage for the same overclock as a 65nm chip so it should be very noticeably cooler. What case do you have?

 

Cool, that gives a top mark with the Vista scores.
My Western Digital is quite a few points lower. I have always bought WD drives, never tried a Seagate.

 

My case is a Thermaltake Xaser III. I cost me a fair bit when I bought it a number of years ago, but it's been a fantastic case and I'm sure I'll be keeping it for a few more years yet. Only thing I don't like about it, is it weighs more than truck.

 

Modey, I'm sure that if you get a second HDD, drop it in and then configure it as a RAID 0 then you'll hit a 5.9.

 

or just replace it with one like mine although the 7200.11 have a higher sustained data rate

 

Heh well, I wouldn't ever bother with Raid 0 unless I had a proper Raid controller to attach the drives to. From real worlds tests I have seen most motherboards with Raid chipsets really don't perform that well, especially in Raid 0. Proper drop in raid controller that costs at least twice what the mobo did and I'm there.

I should probably just grab a WD Raptor at some point and use it as my main boot / system drive.

 

Got a 10k Raptor in my work machine shame its only SataI, have they brought out SataII versions yet?

 

Take a look at this baby.

Step aside ladies.

 

Now that is some serious s%*$
Can you click 'view and print details' and post the full system details screenshot....

You can see the CertForums logo through the Aero glass

 

Pfffft. You try getting a 3.5 on a 6-year-old box! n00bz!!!!

Looks like I'm gonna have to crack open a dual-boot on my gaming rig... you've thrown the gauntlet, haven't you?

 

I detect a note of jealousy there BM. Not all of are winners, some of just have to be content with being a lo...um, not-winner.

Here you go NightWalker.

 

I think I might setup a real low spec virtual machine and see how crap I can get the Vista performance score.....

 

Looking at those stats... I'll have to just be content to be a loser... my 2-year-old C2D box won't likely beat that.

 

Psst, BM... made this for you. Don't worry, no one will see my cunning skills in Paint

 

You forgot to put in "this is BM's PC".

 

ROFL! I was ***just*** about to say that, I kid you not!

So... um...

...could you add that? kthxbye!
