On overclocking you really think 4770K needs it for single screen 1920 with GTX780 OC ? I would like tj to get full accustom to bios and tweak drivers and all the crap they give you first. Get some baseline benches and a bit of burn in tests etc Yeah I do not like any management or thermal controls turbo etc rather fixed clocks. We see what tj thinks of performance vs a AMD+6000 and GTX470 loool His bottleneck obviously is hardrive Green 1TB but i run mine with spare Sata primary drive for other stuff I have it runs fine once its booted Nice buy would be Kingston or similar 60GB m-sata plug straight into the Mobo , they are cheap 50 pounds I believe and enough room to Run slim W7 office cad and photoshop
I need someone to explain setting Z87-Gaming D45 bios to boot DVD I am a dud http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z87G45_GAMING.html#download <<< manual
This is why very first thing you do before new PC arrives even .......put your W7 on a bloody USB stick. using a DVD is prehistoric !@! and slow arsed @! hehehe Want to know what these icons say tj SEE YELLOW ARROWS lopl
got a digital camera / phone I want to see it lol Doh too late , going to remind you when you set up OS. Your User name: whatever Your PC Name : 4770K-GTX780 ( you can use hypen ) Looks good in system info ....better then "tjc's PC " p Mine is : 2500K-GTX670 >>>>>>>>>>>>> lolp
Yes, I do have a digital camera mate (Nikon D90) and I have a phone camera, pics will be posted (later/tomorrow) Damn!!! I`d have liked the new pc name... I`ll change it... lol...

View attachment 12796 Use your desktop wallpaper and it looks seamless from logon to desktop Esp with a SSD ---------- On SSD .. BTW how big is your C:\ partition tj ? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-064-KS&groupid=701&catid=2104&subcat=2365 Plugs onto your motherboard, no leads
Tj's 3DMark2006 seems low to me ( temps are great ) Maybe bios settings he has done nothing yet. He got abit over 30K first run. With a GTX670 OC I got 32K However I have i5 @ 4.5GHz clockspeeed for that which is worth a good 5-6K in 3dMark Still his SM2/SM3 is a lot lower then mine , must be a reason other then the overclock. Take note mate too! Your CPU is higher score with stock clocks then mine at 5GHZ ( that is smokin hot ) Just something up with settings I would think. Rather him not worrying about games till he gets sorted. tj can you pls run a 3dmark11 to compare with me in that you should trounce my score. even with stock clocks. 3DMARK11 - P 5,919 ( at 5.0GHz) ................... 5GHz remember is huge increase in 3dmarks YES PEOPLE dur .............I know I know !!! Any 3dmark is not important games test persay......... BUT IT IS AGAINST other combos for a BASELINE RESULTS ! so get off my case plus its great for stability and thermal testing ............and rF2 is DX9 .............so there hehehehe
Like if you ran at 4.2GHz I would say you would get auto 35K When I look at Hall of Fame that seems like a pretty decent baseline for a GTX780 with OC i7 . ( and most on there have both OC CPU and GPU ) Like I say a direct compare at same settings with someone has a 4770K and a GTX780 in rFactor2 will be a much better compare then any 3dmarks that is for sure and certain ! But like I said it is excellent for stability and loop and thermal testing when running in a new tower
@tjc... How's the new system running? That 1K price quoted in the first post is great...especially for Europe and a system comprised of a GTX780.
Had drama working out why Realtek would not work , sorted now. I think tj be pretty happy with his results. On to bios tweaks, baselines and some OC
PM to tj after My thoughts on OS and build success ................. but with no heavy tweaking and cranking as of yet. " We've only just begun to live, White lace and promises A kiss for luck and we're on our way. ( don't think sooo !!! ) loool We've just begun Before the rising sun we fly So many roads to choose We start out walking and learn to run. And yes, We've just begun. " hahahahahahaha
Someone please give tj a list for best things to stop a HDD banging on ( his older Sata is a bit noisy ) He says his sata HDD LED goes crazy Sounds to me in part like a untweaked bios, management and OS in a very fast system vs a slower hardrive. But I too tired, brains too fried ( see POST ABOVE ) lopl Do a help list pls.
He now got an excuses to buy an SSD HD . With his Hard drive in AHCI mode, a feature of that is 'Native Command Queuing' NCQ. Check out the pics on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Command_Queuing, As you can see the HD head has to move a lot more compared with no NCQ. Maybe why he getting more noise. Don't think banging is normal but .
Thanks for the link DJC, I`ll have a read... I`ll be getting a SSD asap man, that`s for sure. I`d hardly describe it as "banging" just a little more noisy than it was before and (from memory) definitely seems to be more HDD activity than there was before... Might be just as D says though and the HDD is too slow for the new build. We`ll see...
