Best/Worst Computer on TPU Competition - Page 4

tkpenalty · Apr 20, 2007, 02:28 AM

Josh my old P4 rig is the worst!!!!!

Make sure you have "The sleeper of TPU", i.e. my PC. Noone speculates it has a C2D when they come over.

hat · Apr 20, 2007, 02:50 AM

Mine is listed in system specs
Pentium 4 3GHz 800FSB 1MB L2 HT
RAM 2x512 Cruical Ballistix DDR400
GPU XFX 6800XT AGP
HDD ATA133 250GB
PSU Antec Smartpower 2.0 500W

Joshmcmillan · Apr 20, 2007, 03:44 AM

Which of these is better:

Pentium 4 3ghz
1gb DDR 400
6800GT
250gb

Or

AMD Athlon 64 3000+
1gb DDR 400
X800GTO
80gb + 80gb

anticlutch · Apr 20, 2007, 03:46 AM

I'd say the Athlon because of the graphics card, but I'm pretty sure both of them can hold their own when gaming and/or during general use...

Joshmcmillan · Apr 20, 2007, 03:48 AM

Yeah I thought athlon was better. Can anyone els confirm that?

Joshmcmillan · Apr 20, 2007, 03:50 AM

The Athlon also has dual channel ram. One more confirmation that athlon is better and i'll update the P4 to the worst so far.

BIOHazard87 · Apr 20, 2007, 03:59 AM

my laptop:

Dell E1705

Intel C2D 2ghz | 4mb cache

Joshmcmillan · Apr 20, 2007, 05:31 AM

BIOHazzard i'm updating your laptop too th ebest laptop so far. Can you please tell me how big the hard disk is?
Thanks.

HeavyH20 · Apr 20, 2007, 05:44 AM

Well, I do not think my system is the most customized. I just wanted to make a clean build that went fast in an actual case. No parts on a desk and used as a normal daily driver. It actually helped me win a 30 inch Dell monitor in a bench contest, so the pay off for investing in a Phase unit was decent (eBay for $400 plus a 775 kit). A score of 21080 in 3DMark06 was what it took

Been busy "OC'ing" my car. Always have to tweak

- EVGA 680i Rev D SLI motherboard
- Intel Core 2 Duo QX6700 @ 4.4 GHz (24x7 - 4.00 GHz) @ -18 C
- Vapochill LS - modified with quieter, higher volume fans - LS case was cut to allow extended reach into the case
- 2 GB DDR2 1066 (4-3-3-6, 2T. 2.35V, 1:1 with FSB)cooled by an OCZ DDR cooler with dual 60mm fans
- 2 x EVGA 8800GTX SLI @ 670/1000 - rebuilt with AS5, ceramique, and cooled by 2 x 120 mm fans - BIOS default 626/1000 (ACS3)
- 2 x WD RaptorX 150 hard drives in RAID 0 with a Seagate 500 GB hard drive for data
- Enermax Galaxy 1000 Watt PSU
- CrystalFontz LCD panel
- DVD-RW DL Lightscribe
- Vantec fan controller
- CoolerMaster Stacker 830 Evolution NVIDIA edition anodized all black (was green)
- Dell 3007FPW-HC

Finally

edit: Just wondering, but what temps do you get idle with your 8800GTX's? I redid my 8800GTS with AS-5 and I'm still getting ~60C idle, which in my opinion is a bit high...

tkpenalty · Apr 20, 2007, 05:50 AM

DUDE I HAVE THE SHITTEST PC IN TPU.

Pentium 4 NORTHWOOD 3.2GHZ
512MB DDR400
ATI RADEON 9550
ASUS P4S800
2x40GB MAXTOR HDD.
2xCombo DVDROM+CD+RW

Joshmcmillan · Apr 20, 2007, 05:58 AM

A little birdie told me about the thread

As for the card temps, 52C and 53C idle. 60C would be expected in most cases. But, I have some extra cooling with the dual 120 mm fans on the side panel.

Joshmcmillan · Apr 20, 2007, 06:47 AM

Who was that little birdie???

Conti027 · Apr 20, 2007, 07:09 AM

My Athlon is a socket 754, so it's not actually dual channel - still think my rig edges it in terms of performance though, close one. My 12 hours of fame are over!

Joshmcmillan · Apr 20, 2007, 07:13 AM

Conti do u actually hav 8800GTX if so u don't hav worst pc.

Conti027 · Apr 20, 2007, 07:17 AM
