After either one of these since I have 2 dead ones here. If you have either pls let me know your price.

Installing XP on 400MHz CPU is the opposite of fun have made 3 cups of tea in the time it takes to install. (Typically British problems)

I did until I saw the price of a fury Maxx now, over £100 to get one in the UK

Nice WR DJ

I can see the 9800GX2 stage is going to be a real challenge

Is it possible to enable the HWBot page for this as well? Takes forever to see all the different stages using the OC-Esports page Edit : has the overview area changed as I was typing this or did I just miss it completely Either way it's fine now

I don't that's completely fair, HWBot prime is the only benchmark I know where the real stress testing begins when you save the screenshot

I can't believe I didn't notice windows 8, I feel like an idiot now

Just so I know in case I ever run a system like this, why isn't this a valid run?

Can people stop asking Z+Z for it pls

I'm pretty sure that statement has already been made, Win 10 has the same rules as 8.

I don't think he was being serious, just a light hearted joke.

Decent enough, CPU you got there bud. I have a few more that I still need to test but I just need time off

Well somehow people are competing in the cinebench stage at the moment

I like this idea, sounds pretty good to me!!

With steponzy here, I've only had a play with them a few times cold and every single time I had to pump them with volts on the VCCIN, not sure if they have a worse FVIR or what but seems likely considering their price. Also sorry I couldn't add anything of any value to the conversation.

Download Super Pi or Past fast, run the benchmark with CPU-Z open, you should see a jump in CPU speed, when it's doing that, hit validate.

The E8600 won't really have very good overclockability on that board though simply because you will be FSB limited very quickly. The stock FSB on the CPU is 333MHz and you'll be lucky to get 350FSB realistically. So if you have an X6800 it's probably better for you to use that if you can. The absolute best CPU I have seen for that board is the QX9650 which is a quad core 45nm CPU. That will give you the most performance out of your system by far. BIOS mod may be needed but not 100% sure on that, all I know is that there are plenty of people using that CPU on that motherboard. There are a few DX10 agp cards that will benefit from having the extra cores when running vantage too

the size of that card Nice result Ian!!

You stopping OC splave??

There is nothing quite like it saying 230c on the box and it being able to go above 150c.... (I used to have really long hair at one point, I think I did at long eaton actually)

Very nicely done mate, great score!!

wow DJ, that CPU really is something special, congrats dude

With the greatest of respect, people must look at you daft when you go to purchase a set of straighteners anyway

agreed, cooling is epic The only thing I would worry about with the cooling is the battery doesn't like being too cold, other than that you should be fine
