If I had another SATA drive lying around I would do that (Note to self...get another HD) and run XP for benching also. But as far as OC'ing the CPU on this rig... I think i've gone as far as I can go just about without some help from someone that knows more about the bios settings and what they do. LOL... Same on the GPU's, I mean i've got it all up there a little bit but most of that was just playing around and it's really all greek to me right now. I am having alot of fun though!  |
Ok, the only bench that raid is really going to help you is PCmark. Other than that you just wanna run a single hdd. When you are using onboard raid it's uber easy to screw up the OS when overclocking. Just stick to one HDD.
If you go look at my hwbot profile, you'll see that I have some stock runs in there. It's not always about getting points. hwbot is also a great place to see your improvements in the benching. You will most likely not get points running a stock system but I see you'ver already got a couple with a mild overclock anyway.
If something seems greek to you then start a thread. We hate having new threads to help out somebody with onverclocking :rolleyes: You said the most important thing though, you are having fun
That's what matters.
