July 31st, 2008. comments are open 0 commentsNew Rig – E8400 @ 4.0GHz & 9800GTX SLi

My new system specs are:

  • Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz @ 4.0GHz
    • 444 x 9.0, 1.32 VCore
  • EVGA nForce 780i SLi
  • 4GB Crucial Ballistix PC6400 @ 889MHz
  • EVGA nVIDIA GeForce 9800GTX *2 SLi
  • Zalman 9700 Quiet CPU Fan
  • WD Raptor 74GB 10k *2 in RAID0

This system scores around 17k in 3DMark 06, and 9k in 3DMark Vantage. Not the absolute best, but good enough to play Crysis @ Very High @ 1680×1050. Here is a screenie:

Here is a picture of the system itself:

And a naked GeForce 9800GTX core :)
