After 7+ months of planning I finally have my new system built, running, fully updated, and I just completed benchmark 2006.
Futuremark - ORB - Result Analyzer
Score for those who can't wait: 11693
everything stock! ( no OCing what so ever so far )
( this is compared to my score of 9750 for my e6600, asus P5N-E, 8800 gtx, 2 gigs and my score of 2200 for my old p4, x800xl, 1 gig of ram )
My 8800 gtx starts out at idling at 63-65 celcius ( with fan speed at 60% ) compared to my previous 8800 gtx which idled at 74 celcius and crashed when running 3dbenchmark2006 ( so it was defective! always RMA people! ). Wondering if I use rivatuner to set the fan speed to 100% since I could just RMA the card once the fan dies out.
Now the only things I have to take care of is remounting the tuniq tower ( I have a feeling I messed up the MX-1 too much by lifting the tuniq tower up too much during install ) so my coretemp reads idles at like 42,31,33,39 celcius. Also I didn't do ANY cable management at all so I gotta use twisty ties and make it look all nice for airflow purposes and asthetics
Note: whats really weird is it says my system is almost the fastest with people of my same configuration but i didn't overclock at all ( I should be lower in the range of people with my same systems )...so...what gives?
QUESTION: I have a wide screen 22" monitor with a native resolution of 1680x1050, did this affect my score at all? I used the default settings free version of 3dmark2006
