Then why was mine so bad???? I had no processes running, not even MSN...

[DustDriver]

I've managed a time of 44.141 seconds with an AMD Athlon 64 3200+
I've shutted down some security programs, skype and explorer, otherwise it took around 45.5 seconds.

(Pic that makes my E6600 cry)

Ouch.

Specs please, I need to beat you. 👍

 

[Evolution.]

Specs and full screen screenshot please. That's insane.

 

[Burnout]

Ouch.

Specs please, I need to beat you. 👍

Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.1 Watercooled (Limited by RAM)
Asus P5B Deluxe
2GB DDR2
2x250GB Samsung RAID0
X1900GT Watercooled (Center 20.1" LCD Widescreen)
X800GT Watercooled (Side 19" LCD Monitors)

Note how cool the CPU is running at 3.1Ghz (and ignore the AUX thing) - Pretty neat setup.

Specs and full screen screenshot please. That's insane.

Oh. My. God.

Can't wait for my watercooling! What are you using on yours?

Whatchoo mean?

 

[Eric.]

Whatchoo mean?

What watercooling system?

 

[Burnout]

What watercooling system?

I'm actually using two kits - I recently purchased some PC upgrades (as you can tell), and part of that was massively upgrading my cooling. I got a new case which has a 250mm side fan, a second, much beefier watercooling system, some VGA cooling stuff, so on so fourth. I took the kit I already had (some Kingwin thing) and converted it to cool both of my video cards, then I purchased a Thermaltake Bigwater 745 for the processor (although I'm only using the larger radiator - I read it increases flow and ends up with better performance).

Also in the upgrade was the Core 2 and new mobo which runs so much cooler than the Pentium D I had OCed to 3.85GHz.

I'm trying to find some better RAM - My goal is 4Ghz.

 

[jammyozzy]

Whoa, nice. Seeing as it's a cold day, I might see how far I can get on air...

ThermalTake Armor, eh? Same as mine!

 

[G.T]

From a 2.8 Ghz Pentium 4 HT Processor. It was a bit slower than I thought it would be...

I'll be back later with the results from my Laptop - no doubt will be slower than this.

Bring it.👍

Ordering some PC8000 this weekend; 4GHz here we come.

 

[G.T]

Pentium M 1.4GHz...

Both PCs have 512mb of RAM.

 

[GT4_Rule]

Should I be exiting most apps if I'd want to do this?

 

[Burnout]

Check out my PC.

Yes.

 

[GT4_Rule]

Intel Pentium 4 "Northwood" CPU, 2.8GHz
512MB DDR PC2700 RAM, 200MB Free
250W Power Supply (Not sure)
MSI MS-6577 v4.0 GL6E Motherboard

 

[jammyozzy]

Check out my PC.


Yes.

...Damn. I won't be able to beat you, but hopefully I can keep up up to about 3.6GHz.

You should be able to be a bit quicker than that, my P4 2.4ghz (not HT) does it in 1 minute flat, my P4 3.06ghz HT will do it in about 45 seconds. I'd imagine you could get it down to about 50-55 seconds somehow

 

[opendriver]

Wow, its been a while since I done this, so here is a slight improvement over my other one:

My specs are in the first post I think...

EDIT: There not, so here they are:

Dell 5160 laptop
512 ram
3.06 Mhz
256MB CPU cache (I think)

I've rebooted the PC and I'm still getting the same score. Where as with the Pemtium M PC, I mananged to drop its score to 1 minute 4 seconds.

Maybe it has slower/cheaper RAM than your PC?

Niceee....👍

 

[Crash]

System Specs:
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ (Socket 939, San Diego core, 1MB L2 Cache, stock air cooling)
ASUS A8N-SLI
1 GB (2x512) Corsair XMS3200 DDR RAM
250GB Western Digital Caviar SE (WD2500JS)
256MB BFG 7800GTX

So this was the best after a few tries:

This was the best time after I overclocked my computer by 200mHz:

 

[opendriver]

Niceee....👍

Did I mix the 2 up?

You know what I mean!

 

[teppa]

Made the top 15.

 

[Burnout]

My PC2 8000 RAM comes in tomorrow, along with my two 74GB Raptors... 12s here we come!

 

[TS]

Specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (2.12GHz w/256KB L2 Cache)
RAM: 512MB DDR

 

[Joel2]

Hm. 4Ghz is going to be hard..
