    watch out how many times you load that disk. you only get like 1 to 3 installs and it needs to connect to the internet to verify....

    this is only if you didn't know already....disregard if you did know.

    Oh I dont even look at the CPU. The max I saw on it was 50C after 3dmark06 loop but mostly it stays very cool. None of the games utilize 4 cores enough to make that CPU sweat.

    ok. going to re seat it in a few then.

    edit: ok...here is the deal..
    hwmonitor 1.10 is reading 10 degrees high
    hwmonitor 1.11 is reading 5 degrees high, but is also adjustable. and was set to correct temps.
    hwinfo32 is reading the right temps
    coretemp beta99 is reading 10 degrees high, but it's also adjustable. and was set to correct temps.
    rightmark cpu clock reads 5 degrees high, but is also adjustable. and was set to correct temps.

    i want to thank you all for point me into the right direction !

    temps are around 52'c right now.

    well the weird thing is I am using hwmonitor 1.11 without any adjustments, so I dont see why yours needed to be adjusted. However, if you know have the correct temps, I dont see why it should be any problem adjusting. Makes me wonder if my hwmonitor is spot on or needed adjustment.

    well, i was about to jump out there, then i got to thinking...*LOL* let me check a few things.

    yours maybe 5 degrees lower then what you think it is. i used hwinfo32. this programs seems to keep a pretty good record of your temps. along with a few other niffy bits of information. i never tried the dos base version yet, but the 32 bit seems to wok fine.

    Yeh! Mark Mueller is bringing out the legal guns and sueing Justin and MeTooPC! Apparantly Justin posted Marks phone number and address on xoticpc, leading to his daughter getting harassed over the phone by a MeeTooPC customer. Nice, K|N

    it should be higher than that if im not mistaken....see if you have your frames sync set. it's syncing up with your screen refresh rate of 60/61. you should be in the hundreds.

    true.
    it's like the es i bought for the 6860. had all the intel stuff on it and was the last stepping branded by intel co/mo stepping, but when you looked at it with cpuz, it showed it was an es. it ran like a champ though.

    i wonder how much that qx9300 hit for....

    one thing that I know form now why Mark can serve his customer with qx9300
    but his price not go high becuase it's a ES chip that you can find in back market in 700$ and this's why he's only 1 can sell these

    I don't know why Mark use ES chip in production laptop that send to customer. It shouldn't be happen because it show something wasn't professional enough by use these (although it has same performance) I think ES chip should be the chip that owner change it by himself more than use it by builder/seller.

    ok i thin that is all the request I had for benchmarks,

    COD4 will get in the 100's tommorow for sure jsut have to figure out how to use fraps I bought it to do these test with lol.

    Also purchased most of the software such as Vantage so I could get you guys numbers.

    me and him have a special arrangement because I am going to a trade show. This isnt an evaluation sample motherboard or CPU this is the real deal I will take the back off and snap a pic for you. It was one of the ways to confuse the drivers so we can get higher numbers. Ingenious if you ask me. SO might want to talk to him before you start making accusations =)

    well i kep hitting all kinds of buttons you will also notice that alot of the itme it is where I was pushing f12 f10 so the test were short spurts as you can see by the amount of frames during the most intense action

    yeah, you just need to be able to hit f10 only. if you can catch it fastest enough...just mill around in the area you seen the high fps and grab your shot that way.

    Are their any other request for benchmarks? I ahev to take the crysis disk back because there is something wrong with it it is giving a read form disk error and it has a BIG scratch down it dont know what its porbelm was. I noticed it and also figured out that why my score was so low on the VERY high setting. I am going to get another one to fix it. I am perdicting in between 20-25 FPS on Very High once that is corrected

    I think 20-25 FPS are too high to go. It should be 10-15.

    i mailed mark i await his reply, lets give everyone a chance to say his own.
    no need to start another war, we only want to know as much as we can in order to make a informed decision on buying a notebook.

    peace.
