December 23, 201114 yr Rafal, you got your new box and didn't say anything? You might want to overclock it a bit...3.3 on 2500k is shameful!!!Merry Christmas and thanks for the heads up :)Mark
December 23, 201114 yr S Rafal, you got your new box and didn't say anything? You might want to overclock it a bit...3.3 on 2500k is shameful!!!Merry Christmas and thanks for the heads up :)MarkSeriously!!! I am @ 4.8 all the time peaking at 5.0 for benchmarks on my 2500... @ 3.3 you might as well be the guy in the slow lane with your blinkers on 20mph below the speed limit ;) Have a Wonderful Day -Paul Solk
December 23, 201114 yr Author Mark and Paul,You are right, gentlemen. That's becuase my fourth approach to FSX was rather a failure, so I decided to stay with 3.3 as it seems more than enough for even max overloaded FS9.But since my FSX approach was a failure also (but not only) because of performance worse than I expected, I may think of overclocking and cooling. I am just a total newbie as for OVC.Have great Zurich flights!
December 24, 201114 yr Rafal, what motherboard are you using? I can walk you through my settings and get you some screenies of my bios screens when you are ready to try...Paul Have a Wonderful Day -Paul Solk
December 24, 201114 yr Author Paul,I have Gigabyte Z68M-D2H.Even though I am on the default 3.3 GHz, when I use FS for some time it gets quite hot inside of my case and its cooler starts making noise.So, anyway I believe I would need a nice extra cooler before attempting to overclock.Thanks a lot for your help offer.Once I decide to give it a go, I will let you know and we'll make an appointment via PM.And once again: happy Zuriching! :(
December 24, 201114 yr Sounds good Rafal, I will research the appropriate settings on your board as the timings are pretty universal... perhaps a voltage tweak or two but fairly simple :)I would recommend the Corsair H80 or H100, the H80 keeps my 2500 below 60C under full load at 4.8.See you in Zurich, damn mechanics have delayed my pre-flight due to an engine needing defrag Have a Wonderful Day -Paul Solk

Love the PMDG NGX too much to ignore FSX. The NGX on it's own is a SIM! Al Stiff
December 24, 201114 yr Thought for a second Rafal may have had his system unified by FS-GS. No spam, just a happy client, and no need to overclock,Merry Christmas to all.
December 24, 201114 yr Thanks Rafal, wszystkiego najlepszego :-) Gavin Barbara Over 10 years here and AVSIM is still my favourite FS site :-)
December 24, 201114 yr TOP SECRET :(I hope your spies are monitoring the Krakow release. Mine tell me it's today ;-) Gavin Barbara Over 10 years here and AVSIM is still my favourite FS site :-)
December 24, 201114 yr Author I would recommend the Corsair H80 or H100Great, Paul, I will definitely check them next week.The NGX on it's own is a SIM!Al, I am sure it is. I have never had any complaints about PMDG as for their system fidelity.I hope your spies are monitoring the Krakow releaseYou bet they are! They even prepared a flightplan for today, originating at Orly and leading to... guess where. :(
December 24, 201114 yr Rafal, take a look at the link below...it's got more then one page so when you get to the bottom of the first really long page keep going to page two and three and etc. It's a very in depth examination of the Gigabyte Z68's. It's not exactly your motherboard version but it is probably is close enough...http://www.clunk.org...ing-review.html
