This things pretty sweet everything is so much more responsive when coming from a dual core. Everything seems to be good, the intel HS was surprisingly very easy to install. Fired up CPU-Z, Core Temp and SpeedFan and woohoo ! E0 revision !. Temps seem good if a little odd ?: Core 0: 31c, Core 1: 33c, Core 2: 42c, Core 3, 42c, whats with the +10c on the 2 and 3 That's idle just browsing the internet.
Lets fire up orthos..
Okay, so orthos doesn't support quad core.. 0 and 1 @ 100percent the other two are at 3 or 4 percent
After 5 mins temps stopped increasing, reaching 55 on core 0 and 52 on core 1. core and core 3 were at 48 (but were only running at like 3 percent). Pretty impressed, i thought quad cores were very hot ? my E6850 ran like 7degrees hotter than this.
Tommorow i get the OCZ vendetta and some good thermal paste, temps should be interesting then. I'll try OC it, but i'm expecting nothing good with my rubbish ram. I'll try again once i get some good ram in a few weeks time.
Now to try some quad core games..
