R2 replacement here, finally, but can someone tell me..

Hi guys my R2 just arrived, im in the mist of testing it, i done a quick windows
score and got: (is the hard drive score low?)

processor : 7.4
mem : 7.5
graphics : 7.2
gaming graphics : 7.2

and primary hard drive 5.9?

is the hard drive ok? (first time on win 7 so its new to get above 5!
also im 'ment' to have 2x 500g 7200 rpm.

thanks as per guys!

also overcloaking the i7 is that in bios or is there a short cut on desktop somewhere?

 

5.9 is the highest Win 7 will rank any mechanical hard drive. Overclocking is in the BIOS under Performance.

 

You're right in there

 

so its like the r1 you set mulitplier or is there option to say boost also? i would of thought it would be a short cut lol =/


woop thanks alot m8! im just terrified with the ammount of SH1& i went through with my r1! so far its soo much better, led screen o god its 100% improvement! just need to test SPlit second velocity on it! also i cant seem to find ATI control panel? do i need to install it seperate?

nvm just found it=)

 

There is a %overclock and a option for turbo mode.

 

mm i just went into bio and it said turbo mode on, i put +5% and changed some ddr3 voltage, but in windows system it still says 'Intel (r) core tm i7 cpu x9.20 @ 2.00hz 2.00hz'

whys it not saying 3.2? or does it only go up when gaming? my old r1 would show the current speed after the 2.5 ghz!

also anyone had issues with the track pad light going off randomly? i press it flashes but wont stay till reboot o0

 

I use cpu z to see my speed.I would not change the ddr3 just the vcore.

 

oki thanks clax ill try that! also ive got aproblem! my track pad light keeps going off when windows boots up, ive tried the short cut to put it on n off it just flashs on for a 0.2 seconds then off again! ive downloaded the newest commander center from dells side! anyone know how to fix this =/?

ok when i plug in my G9 the light goes off and wont go on till i unplug it! how can i fix this? thanks guys

 

thanks shows up as 3.4 ghz =) so far so good! only thing ive tried split second velocity and on ultra high its pretty bad! its great on high! anyone else found this also?

 

Adrian890,

That's actually normal behavior when an external mouse is plugged in. If you go into the Synaptic Touchpad options there is one to disable touchpad when external mouse is attached - uncheck it.

 

thats ace mate thanks =))

right now im aBIGGGG noob, but abigger ATI noob, i cant seem to find SLI indicator for ATI, anyone help, cant seem to handle ultra high detail in split second velocity! do i need to download a new Catalyst control center? i updated to the newest ati drivers on dells site, or does that incluse the new CCC?

thanks again guys

 

yes it's include. right click on desktop a windows will appear, on the top you can see catalyst... click on it.

 

*CROSSFIRE indicator, and no, the new CCC does NOT work with the 5870 CF at the moment, hopefully that will be rectified though.
