The Official PC building thread -3rd Edition

I Guarantee I cant run ALL that on a dual core. Atleast not seamlessly. Itd probably do it. But the only way I would do that, is if I planned on being gone for a few hours atleast, LOL. I have noticed however in the past, that Processors are CRAZY multitaskers. When one is set up to do it. You have more hard drives than most people. Heck, people who know me are jealous of my 2TB! So what do you think they'd think of your freak setup And I say FREAK with a very big smile buddy. Freak is a compliment I love freaks LOL

 

OK, if your really into multi-tasking, something I'm intersted in, which is the better cpu, intel or amd

 

Theres an argument waiting to happen. I of course have my opinion on that one. Lets just say its what im running And im not completely closed to the idea of an... eh hem, intel. simply dont have the money to spend on them. Im sure both are neck to neck for the most part We'll see who survives the economical crysis, ehh?

 

does that answer your question. he has a AMD dual core.
on my intel E8400 i have done that as well but not with HC encoder but CCE as i dont have a quad and HC isnt much different for a Dual core.
I have as well run clonedvd2,imageburn,ripit4me and dvdshrink all at the same timme doing quad burns 4 different ISO's on 4 different drives.with the 4 different programs. all while useing MIRC talking about doing so.

not doggin ya Omegaman just pointing out the difference. But im sure when you get that Phenom2 940 you will do it with ease.

 

@Russ

i know your over there playing with your New Toy...lol But...i came across this sense i know you like them lay down cases alot feast your eyes on this boy here...lol tell me what you think?

shoot..I have to say..I like this here
Apevia X-Qpack2 Portable 3 Window Case-Gold

I usually wont run multiple tasks while burning, due to buffer underrun. Im sure it would do all that, just not nearly as quickly as having undivided access to either programs. Now if I had 6 drives, and each process utilizing a different drive, I can see how that would be simple for even a single core processor. Ive only used HC twice. I saw a slite difference in dark scenes compared to CCE, that bothered me. I WILL give it another shot though. I need more drives to play with. Hehh heh, I guess I have them I just dont trust the raptor given the clicking sound it makes. Plus I was having windows errors, that made me wonder about the drive. I would like probably 4 more WD AAKS drives. THEN, I could REALLY play. Sorry if this sounds incredibly newbish of me,

 

Will,
I actually don't care for that type of case at all. Looks too much like a cheap all in one stereo, where as the Antec I was looking at looked like a piece of Good Stereo Equipment! LOL!! Same approximate height and width so it looks nice stacked! I do like the Cooler Master Criterion case a lot, and the 460w PSU that came with the case is better than expected

Yes I am playing with my new toy. I've got it running at 3.2GHz at the moment. From here, I haven't got a clue! It won't boot XP at any multiplier higher than 16! I'll have to do some studying! LOL!!

Russ

 

boy your a hard man to please...lol...i thought it did'nt matter how the outside looked as long as you put good heart inside...O wait a min...I'm talking about toyota's the body rusts away but engine keeps goin change the oil sorry off subject...well I tryed Russ maybe nexts time...I perfer Power under hood instead beauty on the out...have much fun with your new Toy and keep us Posted

all yea are you talking about my case i got cm centurion rc590?

Will...

 

cincyrob if your doing all that multi-tasking with just a dual core that sounds amazing to me, I had no idea just a dual core could handle that.

I received some bad news today, I was gonna have a youngster I meet some time ago that has build PC 's and build some good one's I must say stand over my shoulder while I put together my build, he was attending a local community college here, but since he went to a better one upstate, oh man my heart dropped, my feeling of comfort flew right out the window.

It would have been so much easier having somebody physically here (damn).Doing this by phone e-mails and posting, oh boy.

 

@Fred... you'll be alright.

On the subject of multi-tasking I'd decide on the quad and NOT worry about it at all. You should be fine with Intel or AMD so don't worry there.

....gm

 

The cpu I ordered is an AMD Dual Core, Quad is kinda out of my finacial league, but if as cincy says he does all that with a dual thats good news.

 

Processors make the human brain look like a childs toy. Although, there are things the human brain can do, that processors NEVER will.
Even single cores multitask when properly run. Depends on several factors. Multi HDD systems help ALOT! really depends on what your doing, and what you wanna do.

If you think about it, Our brains are multitasking like MAD actually, LOL. Are brains are running hundreds of tasks actually.

EDIT - This is kinda interesting

No I'm talking about an RC-534

I could have put what I have now in the Antec case, and it still would have worked all right. It looks more like a two drive CD/DVD component player than a computer!.. The quality is where it counts the most!

Russ

 

Russ I forgot to ask you, on your case, I know you added a fan on the bottom front, but did you disable the side fan that came with it?

 

Fred,
No, but I added an 80mm exhaust where the CPU air duct was. The 120mm side fan doesn't seem to do much of anything. I imagine that it would, if it had a video card in it! At 3.2GHz, temps are good at 32-34C. Under load with Linpack on the highest test x5 it hits all of 50-52C. Works for me!

Russ

 

Wow russ. Thats actually not all that dissimilar from my case Though yours comes READY to cool the PCI area. Mine, I had to have my brother in law the fabricator (LOL), cutout a nice little 120mm area. It dropped my GPU temp a good 12c. VERY worth it!!! The dimensions are almost perfect, if im not mistaken.

I wont be running it that much longer though. Im getting a monster in a few weeks. I want the next case able to handle a MONSTER CPU cooler. You know... one of those lengthy freaks!

 

Probably ought to be a record. Since I'm now running two HD4870X2s (four GPUs), I was experiencing temperature issues, I turned my side 120mm fan from exhaust to instake - bear in mind it only usually spins at about 550rpm - swapping it round dropped my GPU idle temps an impressive 31ºC!

 

Gotcha Russ, the extra fan I ordered as you recomended for use on the bottom front, I actually ordered two, I figured why not have an extra fan laying around, can I use that extra fan as an exhaust like you just mentioned for yours by reversing it? Or one needs a so called exhaust fan.

 

LOL!! And to think I'm using an on sale for $20 Freezer 64 Pro with a 95w CPU, and getting great results! ROFLMAO!!

Russ

 

Let's see you up the voltage! With a reasonably modest overclock (as far as voltage is concerned, 130mV) my 95W Core 2 Quad (really about 80W at stock, they use less than the 65nm Quads) - running LinPack ups my AC power draw by 145W.
