new computer

well i got tired of the old computer so i went and bought a new one



and let me tell ya =) its fast compared to my old computer


but it has vista so ill be trying to install everything i need so you might not see me in 1 or 2 days

ati radeon hd 4870 x 2 2gb
4gb memory
quad processor

yeah sounds good...cya on battlefield

I have Vista and it does not take long to get the hang of, any probs just post and I am sure the few of us that have it can assist ya mate. Grats on the new pc btw

thx if i encounter some broblems ill let ya know =)



im starting to salvage =) all the files i need from the old hard drive ( ET files =) )

btw


what temperatures are normal for processor and the cores


ATI HD4870X2 2gb = under 40C
Intel core2 quad Q8200 2.33 = 25C
core0=47C
core1=51C
core2=40C
core3=40C

system=36C



im thinking to buy 2 more 120mm fans to the computercase to the front

I think the GPU temp is fine. My 8800GTS used to run at 50C. I'm not sure what my GTX260 runs at. Intel Quad cores sometimes are a little quirky and one core will run hotter than the rest. This is normal though apparently. My E6600 Core 2 Duo runs at 24C - 29C most of the time with just stock cooling. However it used to run 10C warmer before i removed the side panels. I must not have been getting enough air flow.

Sounds like you have a beast of a system Arnie! Any chance you'll be playing the new Wolfenstein when it is released? I'm trying to roundup players wherever I can!

yea its a nice computer but =) terribly noisy thats why i might buy 2x120mm fans so they dont need to have so high rpm



might buy the wolfenstein 45 € was the cheapest what i found

i found out this performance test in vista what grades my system parts


cpu = 5.9
memory = 5.5
graphics windows aero = 5.9
graphics gaming = 5.9
hard drive = 5.7


final score 5.5


i read from somewhere that 5.9 is maximum so =)

not bad

Nice score Arnie, I have a 5.3 overall cos my hard drive is crap!

That should run the new ET without any problems at all

my temperature is about 70 degrees, sometimes im hungry and i make it hotter for backing eggs and ham )

to get 5.9 in hard drive you need the special hard drive where the speed is 10 000 rpm but
the next stage would be flash hard drive but =) they are little expensive

I've got 2.73gb free space in my hard drive.

I could use another hard drive......and a format too. It's the format part that I do not like.

if you format remember to save all the files from it




tomorrow ill go see if i find good 120mm fans i have heard alot good things about noctua fans
but i dont know if they sell them here

now the airflow is goood =)

3x 120mm fans and 1x 140mm fan on the computercase the next thing lol it sounds like a airplane taking off



2 of the 120mm fans on the front pushing air in the case and 1 in the backside pulling out of the case and the 140mm on the top

yep, you gotta stay cool.....

i have no clue what you guys are talking about

we are talking about computer cooling my computer tried to owerheat little mainly the graphics card


now its noisy but it stays COOL =)

I imagine with the fan from the power supply, the 2 fans in the video cards and the 3 fans you just installed, it must sound like jet engine....lol.

I guess now the question would be: Is there such a thing as overcooling

hmmm =) maybe some special cooling unit to the side of the computer


maybe some old truck turbo spinning 3000rpm




the noise is kinda annoying if you dont wear headphones
