PC Upgraded! [Info - Pics - Benchies - Game Screenies]

[sri_lion]

So I upgraded my PC, here is my experience sharing with you guys whom interested in PC hardware related issues! ;)

I changed my Mobo from ASUS P5K SE (P35) to ASUS P5E (X38), VGA changed from Sapphire X1600 Pro to Sapphire HD 3870... more details below with some self-taken pics.. comments are welcome and please try not to quote with images when replying unless you really have to... Thnx!

Once the box opened, you are greeted with these goodies...

Mobo overview (very similar to Maximus Formula, infact its the same PCB.. you can see near the CMOS battery the P5E sticker covering the name MAXIMUS FORMULA :lol:)

Initial Overclocking

System

Ealier with my P5K SE board I could only go as high as 470~ FSB, Initial tests on this this board gave 485FSB @ 1.3v.. here's the CPU-Z, in the CPU-Z my voltage shows as 1.2V, seems like there's a definite case of Vdroop here...

VGA

3DMark results after VGA and System overclocking.. [FYI, all at stock (including the system) gave me 9655 3DMarks]

Few Gaming Benchmarks and Sreenshots

3870 could muster 60~ FPS @ high settings (1280 x1024) with that exception of Crysis (:baffled:) which was set to the highest settings possible @ 2XAA!

i bought 8800gt cause i had a sli board,thinking that one day i may go sli bt it never happened n now im in love with 9 series n wanna buy one bt got no monet for that too. :lol: :lol:

8800GT is a very good card, real value for money.. but "true" SLI boards costs a lot too!!!

Anyway.. I'm hoping the 3870 would go down with the arrival of 4870 next month, then most probably I'll grab another for a lot cheaper than 8800GT by that time... Actually, I could have easily opted for a 3870x2 but I didn't feel like it was an investment...wanted to change my board too!!

[GNS]

:nerd:

[Anusha]

I'm looking to upgrade too, if I can find an E7200 CPU for cheap, or maybe if someone is kind enough to sell their Q6xxx CPU for less than Rs.20000 :D
