    POLL: Would Apple buying AMD be...

    IBM already has an x86 licence. The reason there is no IBM vs Intel in x86, is because Intel has already kicked their arses and IBM aren't coming back for a second dose.

    Corsair H50 Test

    Were you exhausting the air into your case like Corsair recommends? Have you tried a Push/Pull fan layout on your H50 that exhausts the hot air? Have you tried using Artic Silver or whatever the latest and greatest thermal paste is, instead of the stock paste that comes with the H50, and...

    WPrime Benchmark

    But shouldn't I be able to pass the Intel Burn test then, if this is a test Intel does before releasing their CPU's onto consumers? What air cooler do you have? EDIT: I just checked your System Specs

    WPrime Benchmark

    I know the Socket 1366 i7's run hot, but I thought the Socket 1156's would run a lot cooler. I tried the Intel Burn test and my setup failed it and RealTemp was showing that my cores were running as high as 92ºc, that is why I wanted to find out what other people's stock speeds were and why I...

    WPrime Benchmark

    What temps is an i7-860 supposed to be running on when you do stuff as simple as internet browsing? My temps are sitting on approx 50 degrees centrigrade on all 4 cores, whether I am internet browsing or just sitting in front of my screen doing nothing. I am wondering if I properly fitted...

    The ScienceMark thread (Score list inside)

    ScienceMark doesn't like me as it won't complete a number of the benches. Does it not like Win 7 64bits?

    WPrime Benchmark

    Okay this is just a run with my i7-860 which is supposed to be at stock speeds, but it seems like ever since I updated the Bios on my Gigabyte P55A-UD5 motherboard, it now runs at stock i7-870 speeds. Anyway . . . .

    With these WPrime 32M runs you guys are doing, are you just setting the number of threads to whatever gives you the best results or are you using a particular number of threads(i.e 4)?

    WPrime Benchmark

    Does anyone ever run these benches on stock speeds first, before seeing what they can get on an o/c? I would just like to see how my stock system performs before I start overclocking. I have an i7-860.

    Super Pi 1m scores

    I'm just sorting out a new system, it hasn't been overclocked or tweaked at all, but do these scores for a stock i860 look to be in the ballpark?
