Title: Post your RIG
Post by: snyper133 on March 11, 2008, 08:20:40 AM: Easy enough two guidelines for this thread:

1) Post pics of your computer/computer setup and specs.
2) Post specs of your computer/rig
3) Open a new topic to discuss or if you have questions about specific rigs/setups.

Spam will be deleted.

Post by: Slacker on August 18, 2009, 09:51:41 PM: Hi all I suppose that my first post should be about my rig so here goes.

Antec Super Lanboy case
Ultra 500W modular PS
Intel Core 2 Duo @ 1.8Ghz
2GB of PC8500 OCZ ram
integrated 10/100/1000 nic
Abit Mobo with 680i chipset
250GB Seagate HDD
Asus 9800GT Ultimate

I built it this past winter when my clan members got tired of me having an old Athlon machine in a half wooden tower...don't ask.

I plan on revamping her as soon as I can, although I have to many hobbies to support them all right now.

...in a half wooden tower...don't ask.

I'd love to have a wooden tower case. I'd build one (one of my other hobbies is woodworking), but I'm concerned about venting it, and catching the thing on fire when it gets too hot.

I'm going to have to spend some time working on this...

Wow...something I'd never seriously thought about, but there are a ton of images on google...
some really nice (and some not so nice).
Sliding doors. DVD fronts.
Wow.

I might even have enough left over wood from my computer desk (white oak) to make a matching computer case...

Thanks for the inspiration Slacker...

Yeah, that processor looks like a serious bottleneck.
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: Slacker on August 20, 2009, 12:10:02 PM: It varies between 70-90fps...The video card helps eliviate some pressure from the processor but in a full on game it can have spikes of 180fps if there is a ton of explosions and 31 other people reaking havoc :headbang:

I'm just going to upgrade to an E8400, with 4gb of OCZ Reaper when the time comes, and that should help out tremendously
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: Luggage on August 20, 2009, 12:19:25 PM: The numbers don't sound right

Higher the FPS (frames per second), the better. If you can maintain over 60, then doing very well. I would be surprised if you get FPS over 60 consistently. I was asking to see if the processor is indeed a bottle-neck. I think it would be, but you never know so was curious...there have been so many debates on how much processing power you really need (vs. RAM vs. graphics card) to play games, so your system is a curious test case...
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: Slacker on August 20, 2009, 01:56:10 PM: Sorry had a Tard Attack earlier, I'm sorry for the wrong numbers earlier that was my pings not my fps I'm guessing I posted ala my dumb butt using a few background apps that killed my pings while I was doing the test using net_graph. :headbang:

I ran the net_graph command again and got an FPS of 83, I was the only one in the game and there was nothing major going on, I then used the cl_showfps 2 command and got 84 fpsm again I was alone in the server. These still seem kinda high for my setup, I guess I'll get a more conclusive answer tonight when the server get populated.

Again I apologize for the wrong numbers.

Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: Luggage on August 21, 2009, 02:15:14 AM: It was a little chaotic in-game, but I think I heard you say ~30FPS. I bet you can OC the shit out of your CPU (my recollection is that the 1.8Ghz would go up to about 3GhZ using fancy cooling solutions and mid 2s using decent / not expensive air cooling) so that may be the way to go before plonking down cash for a new CPU (may need new mobo with that)

Between google and perusing the newegg customer thoughts on your CPU, you will get a good idea of how far you can push it. Sites like tomshardware and various TE folks (including myself) can walk you through over-clocking if that is of interest to you.
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: Hitman Smurf on August 21, 2009, 07:14:29 AM: Duo Cores are an overclockers dream. Theres something about them that makes them work so well when pushed to the limit. Luggage is right, the 1.8 has been pushed up to 3 and remained stable, just make sure your cooling is sufficient. A good aftermarket CPU fan and heatsink will extend the useful life of that chip through overclocking and 3Ghz is where it's at for CPUs right now.

I'm not a Razer "hater", they make good products, it's just I won't be ripped off either as everything they sell is WAY overpriced. Your essentially paying for the name. There's only like 3 manufacturers of the optical/laser components for mice and guess what...it's not a mouse manufacturer who makes them. Every mouse uses the same components (except for dpi/report rate they may be different lasers, but still, everyone's the same)
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: Ender on August 22, 2009, 06:41:18 PM: Alright, decided I would finally post my rig. I have been using this same rig since I built in about 2-3 years ago. It does what I need it to so don't make fun.

Case: Antec P190 Black
PSU: Rosewill 500watt
MB: MSI K8N Neo4 Series (MS-7125)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ OC'd from 2.0Ghz to 2.6Ghz stable
CPU Cooling: Artic Cooling Fluid Bearing Fan/Heatsync
RAM: 1Gb GeIL Ultra CLatency 2 High Performance
Video: ATI Radeon x1650 Series 256Mb
Display: Dual Samsung 19" Widescreen SyncMaster 941's
HD1: WD Rapter 74Gb 10,000Rpm
HD2: Samsung 250Gb 7,200Rpm
Sound: Onboard 7.1 Surround Optical Out
OD: Samsung DVD DL Burner w/ Lighscribe
Keyboard: Logitech G15 Gaming
Mouse: Logitech G9 Laser w/ Allsop Gaming Mousepad
Speakers: Logitech 5.1 Surround
Headset: Plantronic's Comfort Gaming

I have also made some mods to the MB North Chipset by replacing the chipset fan with a large passive heatsync. The case has currently 4 120mm Artic Cooling thermal controlled fans. OCing is pretty easy with this old setup seeing how MSI has it all built into the Bios. I really need to upgrade everything, I know. I mean...I'm still using regular DDR ram, not even DDR2!!! But, it all works great for CS:S so I don't really care.

Feel free to leave harassing comments about how old it is.

lawl...it's ok though because CS really doesn't mean a badass setup to run smoothly. But, if you want to play COD: MW2 when it comes out then you should see my rig and try to do something similar ( minus the gfx card ) I think all of the best budget gaming builds revolve around the Phenom II X3 Black Edition.

lmao for a 2.5 its rough lol, ive never had a car that just plain out refuses to go into first some times, and its a tad stiff shifting outta first, also unless your at a dead stop, not even the slightest roll, you grind reverse....but i know someone with a WRX wagon and has same problem....weird gearbox..and to top it off the 08 2.5 has that computer crap, the clutch(i think) and the gas dont have cables....so when you drive it you look like a newb lol

Post by: DiscoStan on May 31, 2010, 08:45:19 PM: Just put in an order for my new laptop (yeah yeah, I know. I happen to be poor and I happen to like lugging my computer around for non-gaming stuff too)

ASUS N61JQ-A1
Intel Core i7-720QM
ATI HD5730 1GB GDDR3
4GB PC3-1066Mhz DDR3

Word on the street is ASUS is out of stock with their 1066Mhz RAM and has been using 1333 instead; people getting free upgrades, which is nice.

I would've gotten the G51 series (comes with a nicer video card) except the casing looks god awful. Why does "gamer" grade computer swag need to look incredibly tacky? Do people seriously think having a "Republic of Gamer" logo on your swag makes them look totally awesome?

Can't wait till it arrives. I miss Scon's homosexual innuendo, and making fun of Smurfette's drunken ramblings.

Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: Luggage on September 13, 2010, 08:14:34 AM: Just got a new 5850 to replace aging 8800GT. Strangely, sometime I still get fps of ~60/70 in TF2 at high settings (1920x1080). Processor is E8400 (3GHz dual) and have 8GB of RAM (DDR2 1066). I wonder if CPU is actually a bottle-neck here; would never have imagined that to be the case for TF2. Thoughts?
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: Mustard on September 13, 2010, 09:14:56 AM: Source is a very CPU intensive engine. Even at 3Ghz it could still be the CPU. Which is kind of a bitch.

Especially with all of TF2's fancy particle effects and ragdolls.

I have an E8400 + a GTX 460.

I get 303 FPS in CSS, 60 FPS in L4D2 (might be capped, maybe I left vsync on?), and 30 FPS in TF2. It's ridiculous.

I'd upgrade my CPU, but I'd really like to change socket type for an i7, but I shouldn't really be spending money on it right now.
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: Luggage on September 13, 2010, 11:47:14 AM: this is after OC'ing the E8400? I understand you can get to 4GHz w/o much difficulty.

I am planning to OC mine again (ran it at 4.05 stable for a month and went back to stock after that) to see if that helps
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: crazydog on September 13, 2010, 03:04:30 PM: Mine's not overclocked, but I probably should do that. I had it overclocked in the past, but it wasn't necessary at the time.
I bought some 3rd party air cooling, so I should be able to easily get to 3.5 without much trouble.
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: Fraggle79 on September 13, 2010, 04:11:53 PM: Mine gets about 60-70 or so in TF2 also, I think the game is just fucked up that way.
I need to make sure multi core threading is disabled... helped doing that in CSS.

Dude - you don't need to change socket types for another 1-2 years easy. E8400 should be more than enough for your needs (particularly if you OC to 4GHz using 3rd party air cooling).
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: crazydog on September 13, 2010, 05:46:49 PM: I know - I'm just saying that if I were to upgrade my CPU, I'd want to switch to a newer socket, so I'd need a new motherboard, and in turn new RAM (maybe).

Multicore rendering in TF2 used to be bad, but then it started working. I did have to turn it off in CSS the other day to stop from dropping down from 303FPS to ~15 every 15 seconds or so, so maybe I'll try turning it off in TF2 again..
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: Mustard on September 13, 2010, 09:24:11 PM: I really recommend not going over 3.5 OC without liquid cooling. If you have really decent aftermarket air cooling (and proper air flow) you could probably stay stable at ~3.4 to 3.5, but that's about as far as air will take you. With the cooling I've got now, I don't take it over 3.3. It can go higher, but I like to stay nice and safe.
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: crazydog on September 13, 2010, 11:17:03 PM: I OC'd to 3.3 tonight. I've had CoreTemp running the whole time...did a 3DMark Vantage test, Just Cause 2 benchmarks + gameplay, and a l4d2 versus campaign. Both cores maxed out at 68C. Not bad, but could be better.

Post by: Mustard on September 14, 2010, 12:09:11 AM: When I was your age we had move switches on the mobo to overclock and it was a BITCH!! Damn kids
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: crazydog on September 14, 2010, 12:27:18 AM: When I was my age we had motherboards that automatically adjusted voltages and RAM speeds! :P
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: Luggage on September 14, 2010, 08:02:39 AM: Dude! 66-68C is the upper limit of what is acceptable (70C is absolute tops for stress tests since that means while gaming, you'll be in the mid 60s)

You shouldn't be hitting that temp with a mild OC like 3.3Ghz :?

Did you increase your CPU voltage? I don't even think you need to do that to hit 3.3GHz. Sorry if I am explaining something you already know, but CPU voltage bump is only reason temps would go up and you only bump CPU voltages if needed to reach stability. If you are letting mobo decide, that might be the problem. For instance, I tried OC'ing last night and when I set speed to 3.6GHz and let mobo decide voltage, the bloody fool went up to 1.3625 directly which is the max voltage for E8400 at which point my idle temp shot to 50C and load to 67-68C. I cranked it down to 1.275 and system is totally stable at 3.6Ghz with load temps of 60-62C. My cooling system is Zalman 9700 CPU heatsink/fan + 1 rear fan (came with case) + 1 weak-ass side fan (came with case). I have kept my rig stable at 4.05Ghz for extended periods of time (1 month) at temps lower than 68C using same setup and there are hundreds of posts, including from various reputable sources (tomshardware, anandtech, etc.), that show vast majority of E8400 being stable on air at 4+Ghz so it's totally doable.
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: crazydog on September 14, 2010, 11:19:06 AM: Yeah the voltage is up at 1.312

It only really got up to the upper 60's during the 3dmark vantage CPU benchmark, though, so I don't feel it was doing anything real bad. :P During l4d2 it was hanging around 61-62.
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: Luggage on September 14, 2010, 11:43:57 AM: consider either lowering your voltage or if you need to run that voltage for some reason, upping the speed since you are already paying the heat penalty, might as well see how high you can go without stability issues. Remember to adjust RAM speeds down to compensate for increased FSB.
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: crazydog on September 14, 2010, 03:48:17 PM: adjust RAM speeds down? I could have sworn you're supposed to adjust them UP, not only from what I have read, but because my motherboard clocks the RAM up to 881MHz.

Also, 3.30 GHz @ 1.232V brings me to a max of 65C with Prime95
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: Luggage on September 14, 2010, 05:02:32 PM: Speed of RAM is driven by two things i) FSB and ii) multiplier (ratio of RAM speed to FSB)

So if you want to run RAM at the same speed, say 1066, pre OC vs. post OC, as you raise the FSB to OC your CPU, you have to reduce the multiplier (aka strap) to ensure that your RAM is not running faster than 1066.

Lmk if it doesn't make sense and I can just walk you through this stuff live on the phone / vent.

This is better! Does CPU stay stable at higher speeds with this voltage?
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: crazydog on September 14, 2010, 06:34:06 PM: It does. It booted earlier at 1.275, but then wouldn't later. Next step up (1.232) seems to be working just fine.
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: V.I.P. on September 15, 2010, 03:23:12 PM: I think you guys cpus are running a bit hot...I known Intel and AMD run at different temps and with different vcores, but when my X3 720 was @ 3.5ghz (1.4275 I was sitting around 45C prime95...(with the Black Knight as cpu cooler) that might be the difference.
Title: Re: Post your RIG
Post by: crazydog on September 15, 2010, 04:47:36 PM: Intels run hot, yes. The tcase of the e8400 is 72.4C, and the tjunction is 100C
The tcase on that processor is 53C....not sure what the tjunction is.

Post by: GeoDragon30 on October 13, 2010, 10:37:39 AM: will be building a new comp this weekend, so I will be able to get back into gaming. Though it is on a budget.

NZXT Case
Asus M4A87TD/USB3
XFX Radeon HD 5750 1gb ddr5
730watt PSU
AMD Phenom x6
4gb ram
500gb main drive
dvd burner
liquid cool heat-sink for cpu (thought I would try something new)

This just barely kept the wife from killing me.
