    i only said that because your direction was to go there and see your full results. nothing more. but that's all history. i have nothing against no one. i more or less joke a bit to much from time to time. that's about it. so on with the benchmarks, trying to see if i need to get this thing switched out to the ocz!.. *LOL*

    I will do a battery drain test later tonight. I wish there was some good software you could run and have your computer auto turn off and give a time readout when it was at 10% or something lol.

    I am taking request on gaming benchmarks. Will be going tonigh or tommorow and getting some. I have a lsit from GoG members.

    Temps:

    I ran 3dMark 2 times in a row-

    Temps using: HWmonitor

    Here you go--

    GPU- Min. 45C- 113F : Max : 68C - 154F

    Cores-

    #0- Min 37C- 98F Max 67C- 152F
    #1- Min 40C- 104F Max 68C- 154F
    #2- Min 36C-96F Max 65C-149F
    #3- Min 41C-105F Max 67C- 152F


    Yes it was running in the background the entire time and that was the Max temps. Not after it had run. So was ran in full screen mode for testing.

    Yes I have some gaming benchmarks in the works too. Should be done shortly. I am working on recording with My HD camcorder so you can see this machine in action. This thing is a pure beast.

    It installs software so **** fast its crazy fast.

    Mark really did a great job with mine I coudlnt have been happier.


    I will post up in a few. Im watching the fight atm =)

    The ONLY and I mean ONLY negative thing about this is the glossy black it does get some fingerprints so buy alot of microfiber lol

    Hopefully this has been helpul to you all thusfar. If I had all the games these benchmarks would be done. I have to run to Walmart in a few and grab Crysis and a few others that had been requested. I will get the stuff up over at GoG and will try to keep NBR updated as well to the best of my ability.

    nice temps, very impressive.

    how about an orthos run (cpu cooking) ? can you try running two(four?) instances in parallel ?

    and if you can use furmark to see how high the gpus goes...

    thanks for your time and input...

    Sure I will run Orthos and Furmark do you happen to have a link for furmark?


    I ran Orthos once. I will run it again however to get exact temps It didnt shut down or get even close to danger mode.

    Any particular amount of time you would like to see these ran for?

    I will screen shot the results if you have some good software to do it with since alot of peole seem sceptical lol.

    LOL It's cool man.
    OK, With your legal copy of a DVD :rolleyes: you have to rip it to your HD with; DVD shrink, AnyDVD, or DVDDecrypt.

    Then Use a different program like Handbreak, Nero, or XvidPSP. To recode to H.264 (compressed MP4) so you can watch it on your Ipod, Zune, PSP, or whatever.

    The first part is fast for any computer the second shows what your made of.
    Plus one of the cool thing about Handbreak and XvidPSP is there free and they have preset settings for each type of handheld toy out there.

    Really? Somethings up my old compaq did it in like 10-15 mins. But if I remember right the CPU was at like 50%+ It must be something in the settings but it's mostly a DVD drive thing on the first part do you have blue ray or just straight DVD?

    What resolution did you run it at?

    And was it timed or frame based?

    Benchmarking or stability?

    When I said straight DVD I mean do you have a BlueRay drive or the avg DVD drive. The setting on a program like these are night and day some rips/encoding can be fast or slow.

    I'm not seating in front of my computer but the settings for Xvid4psp try format Ipod, disable, disable, avc mp4 HQ if I remember right.

    Good Lucky Gentleman

    Get ready, start your engines,
