Q6600 Gaming on Vista - Colin McRae Dirt

[Blacktronics]

Darn... When the fuck will people learn that the main point of graphics is the darn graphics card ! even a fucking Celeron can run this game when u plug in a HD59xx

[dondycluck]

the game is kinda unrealistic with turnings,hes coming with high speeds

[lego000001]

what sort of fps do you get?

[GreenAndPleasantLand]

I think it was around 60-70 for this game.

such a shame mccrae was killed.....rip

[whaze1987]

Not killed, He had a deadly accident.

i have a very similar spec pc all from ebuyer (the cheapest). I would recomend the arctic freezer pro 7 for ur cpu it cools great (q6600 @ 3.2GHZ 40 degrees load) and it is only 15 quid.

[uuchoob]

Nice, just wondering, are the prices under 'about this video' the actual prices you got these components for? If so, where?

Thanks!

[GreenAndPleasantLand]

Yes those are actual prices, including VAT. I got them from 'Ebuyer dot com'. I think the Q6600 is down to £150 now.

nice driving dude, next week i got too 8800GT and will try on Richard Burns rally :) check my video ;)

[GreenAndPleasantLand]

I watched some of your vids. Richard Burns looks a good game. Will check back next week for your 8800GT version :)

That looks realy fast,what fps are you getting from your computer? Another question,is the Asus p5k easy for overclocking the cpu? Ive just bought a quad core E6600 and wondering what motherboard to get.

[GreenAndPleasantLand]

I've only tried two games so far. Dirt and Call of Duty Modern Warfare. The FPS never dropped below 40 for either game, except on loading screens.

The P5K was very easy to overclock. I set the DRAM to 667 and FSB to 333 for the 1:1 divider, and changed the CPU voltage to 1.35. These settings give me a very stable 3GHz. Highest temp reached so far is 58 after 3 hours of playing Dirt.

[ninjahua]

what was the room temp? i mean 58 after 3hours?... ihave a e6300 oc 3.3ghz and i xms2 dhx corsair ram with the corsair airflow system... oc to 900mhz on a p5n-e sli :) and im getting (0:core 39 and 1:core 37 on idle but even playing crysis its never going more than 47... and orthos for 14hours i think the temp was 50and something :O :D

[GreenAndPleasantLand]

My cores idle between 38 and 41.

The room was fairly warm when i hit 58 and i'd also just done a few hours of encoding before gaming. When i run Thermal Analysis Tool at 100% load it never goes above 51. Still not bad for stock cooler with the chip clocked at 3GHz. I've seen some pepole reporting temps in high 60's. Still, i need a proper cooler.

[ninjahua]

nice! im using a program called "coretemp"

[AnDDriY]

[jouc12]

[GreenAndPleasantLand]

Logitech Dual Action Joypad. Not great but it does the job.

[AJR157]

Wow, you are good driver.

[GreenAndPleasantLand]

Ha thanks. I can get round without crashing but that's about it.
