Really, Z68 is useless if you have discrete graphics. For recording videos, I think a 4 drive array of regular hdds would be more cost effective than a ssd. Use a real ssd instead of caching would be better imo.
Building tomorrow, Spec info?

Either way, I'm sure I'll be happy with it. 05-21-2011, 08:28 AM

Sweet, since we have comparible System builds, I'll be looking forward togetting mine built and seeing how it compares. I should be boot testing mine in it's case for the first time tonight 05-21-2011, 02:19 PM

Nice I've finished building mine earlier today, it's pretty sick, runs all wii games on Dolphin I've thrown at it so far fullspeed beautifully at 1080p and I'm able to fraps without dropping frames (with the exception of Sonic Colors, which occasionally drops to 25-27 fps while frapsing, nothing huge though and it really isn't THAT noticeable.
the ram clocks are hardcore ö_Ö
please look with cpu-z if it got the right timing... most of hardcore rams arent recognized by the bios... and are running on default speed
EDIT by neobrain: that pic was kinda annoying..
EDIT by dannzen: don't fuck with my sig EDIT by neobrain: yet, I will keep doing it EDIT by ???? : A WILD DACO APPEARS EDIT by [SS]: Hey guys, what's going on here? EDIT by dannzen: Gotta Catch 'em All! EDIT by ???? : WILD DACO BROKE FREE FROM MASTER BALL 05-22-2011, 10:59 AM

Very Nice built Ness, same here as you describe nothing but greatness from the i5 sandy bridge [color=#696969] (i feel spoiled) [/color] lol well i can also get 60 fps on every game on stock speeds, the highest res i could ever get without drops was 1280x720 16:9 but for some reason this EVGA Geforce GTX 560ti card isn't really build for heavy duty games e.g. gta 5, metro 2033 [color=#696969] (unless i turn off anti-alias & tessellation) [/color], the cooling is fine depending on my room temps but it's running pretty hot today around 49-50 *c. maybe if i over clock my GPU it will do better with all the eye candy, and when i benchmark it with 3dmark 11 i only get 15-20 fps and my score is pretty low... for Fraps with Dolphin emulator I use a regular 500gb sata as secondary drive to store the movies on, and set the affinity to 1-2 cpu's and every since then i don't experience any hiccups. but i heard ssd hard drives are amazing under big CPU loads, delays etc... they are kind of pricy but seems well worth it so i might buy one very soon when i order my second GTX 560ti. btw, i have the G.SKill Ripjaws 2 x2 gb @ 1600MHz 9-9-9-24, how did you get you're ram stable at 1866MHz thats freakin awesome... Operating System: Windows 7 64bit Motherboard: MSI P67A-C643 Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz (stock) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 4.00 GB @ 1600MHz Hard Drive: 2 x 500 GB, DVD DL Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 ti @ 850/1701 (stock) Monitor: Acer 24 widescreen 1920x1080 05-22-2011, 11:13 AM

I've got a ASUS P8P67 Pro, which is a pretty sick mobo. Right now I'm running then at 1648MHz as I've got it OC'd, however I really don't need it OC'd THIS much, I do like it but still, it's a tradeoff from the RAM. |
