I3 530 & FSX
luckyman replied to dazz's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etc
Thanks you Bango!! I'm telling you guys the GPU can give you a nice boost -
Ok then get all the best.Intel i7-980X CPU, Nvidia GTX 480, 6GB DDR3 RAM mushkin redline or corsair dominator preferably, SSD drive, 1000W PSU look for a system with comontents like this. You might use this link, I got off alienware's website. http://configure.us....19&kc=9&X=9&Y=6 Here's what I can up with for you. http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&l=en&oc=dpdodz1&cs=19&kc=9&X=9&Y=6It would cost about 4000$ Which is a huge price. Mostly because the CPU is worth 1000$ on it's own, if you wanna save a lot of money, when you customize, pick the i7-950 or -930. they cost about 300$

No worries got a picture right here : http://www.acltd.demon.co.uk/Dell-Desktop-Reviews-Dell-Dimension-9200-Computer-Desktop-PC.htmlAnyway what's the problem, you could fit any PSU there! -

Can you show me a picture of the inside of your case. -

Yea it's too bad, maybe you can get a really cheap 700W PSU though? -

Yea with that PSU your options are so limited maybe you could check out a 8800GTX or an Nvidia 8800GTS i'm not sure exactly if your PSU has enough juice but there's a good chance. -
Videocard change

Well if you want go ahead and but another. But what's your Ati card? It probaly performs worse that 2 GTX460 or 470 in SLI for sure. -

No you don't need more RAM to run 3 screens 1.2Gb is fine. But the thing is you'll need 2 cards then Or you can go with ATi 5XXX which supports 3 monitors on 1 card, of course your FSX performance won't be as good for the money. -

This is a great price if you want the GTX 470 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127501&cm_re=GTX470-_-14-127-501-_-Product It's a super card... -

The GTX470 isn't that big. Definetly not as long as the high end Ati 5XXX cards. -
What's a good 1000W PSU?
luckyman replied to davidv's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etc
It's pretty ridiculous, these things can't just blow up within a month or no one would buy. I got a Retail Plus cheap 700W PSU and I've had it for 2 years and it's still going strong. -
Okay so here we gofirst off I'm pretty sure that the Vcore is only affected by the final fequency it doesn't matter what your BCLK is and generaly becasue you'll have the same voltage at the end as someone with a ex. i7-930 the voltage would proably be around the same but it differs a bit depending on the board and your specific hardware.Next, Set your timmings to the default timmings on the memory, what it's rated to run at basicly. It can differ depending on the specific memory. The lower the timming the faster but it won't make a big differnce barely noticable.And finally no. A frequency that's too high can also damage the chip but as long as your not being rediculous like setting it to 6Ghz it won't be a factor, It's all about Vcore.

I think it's pretty safe to copy settings.... EXCEPT voltages which can vary a lot depeding on chip and motherboard. Make sure the guide uses the same brand motherboard as you. And I don't think the multiplier really affects the Vcore, it's just the final frequency that it has to produce that effects how much Vcore you need. Proceed with caution when ajusting the voltage.this is a great guide even though it's for the i7-920 http://www.clunk.org...-beginners.html The differnces would be the multiplier and some freqencies but just use the principles in the guide so you know your voltages.
