Its like $25 on Steam.
I dunno if I will use it after this initial test.
Also I saw there was a demo version of it.Is it any good?
Thanks
Here are the graphs generated.
The link is to an album for all the graphs.

I have gone through the graphs but am having a tough time determining the performance of my build w/o a reference.
I ran the CPU and GPU 3D test.
It generated a bunch of graphs.
I am unable to figure out how to insert images into this post.
Can some 1 provide some pointers on what information is of importance in OCCT tests.
I am using v4.4.0.
In OCCT I am currently running the CPU:OCCT test with duration 1 hour and setting automatic.
I do not have an aftermarket heat sink in my rig as of now[will OC later]
Do you recommend I run the CPU:LINPACK, GPU:3D and Power Supply Test.
Please let me know if you have any specific...
I have successfully built my PC and have installed the OS drivers etc.
Are there any sanity checks that I should do to check all my components are working properly.
Are stress tests recommended immediately after a new build?
Again thanks to all forum members for helping setup my first gaming build.
I have received all my components and having assembled the PC started the BIOS.
I have win 8 On bootable USB .
It installs fine on ssd ,then restarts ,configures device setting and then restarts and blank screen.
I see that my monitor is getting some input ow it mentions no signal.

The newegg video review for galaxy mentions a adapter with the accessory kit.
however using the accesory seems to point the ports on the SSD to back of case. Should I use that or the one in the link you proided?
Hi All,
I have received all my components except the 7970.
I have a question regarding the case[rosewill galazy-2] and SSD[samsung evo 120GB].
Where and how do I place the SSD in the Galaxy case?
There seeems to be no way I can secure it the SSD with 4 screws.
Can some point me out...
I have just ordered segate baracuda 2TB disk from New Egg..

I have read a review which has the below information for the same disk on amazon...
Wouldn't doing this increase the purchase time range of all the components.
As far as I understand to get the gift card we receive the shipment then mail the manufacturer the rebate form etc and then in arnd 3weeks we receive the gift card.
Correct me if I am wrong or is there a faster way...
Unfornately my friend ran out of his annual employee discount.
So I am back to square one.
Need a MoBo and a SSD
budget 200$ after taxes and shipping
Is this possible.
Please note that I might OVerclock in 6 months but CFX is not something I am considering right now.
Can someone suggest me a...
Ohh he is not from newegg so no combos ot any external sites either.
He is from Intel and is using an internal employee site so I just wanted to know your inputs on which of the MoBo are good under $160-$200.
He says there is emp discount on components consisting of Intel parts.
===============================
Update:
To Decide:
MoBo: AS Rock Z87 Pro3 or GA-Z87X-D3H or MSI Z87-G45 or
ASUS Z87-PRO LGA
The reason for so many options is I have a friend of mine who is using his employee discount to get me a deal.
SSD : Any [would like recommendations]
I have an...
Since Sapphire and MSI are at same price now which would you say be a better investment.
Could you also explain your reasons on why one would be better than other at this price point?
Also I see for a Radeon 7970 HD, there appear to be different manufactures or names preceding 7970.
e.g Sapphire 7970 ,XFX Twin Frozer,HIS ICQX^2 etc.
What is the difference between these cards by different manufacturers?
Is it that Radeon 7970 HD is sort of a spec/arch that different...
I am about to buy my OS.
Should I order a Win 7 or 8 keeping in mind the drivers for other components
Also for gaming should I go with a Win 7/8 ?
Personally I like Win7 but would like to know the Pros and Cons of one OS over other targeting a gaming PC.
Thanks mfenn-
Thanks lehtv-
I asked cause I picked out parts from different builds from you sticky.
Is there a compatibility analysis that once should follow or pcpartpicker compatibility check is good enough?
While I understand the CPU socket and MoBo compatibility.
How does one determine...
SLI / Crossfire isn't something on my mind right now.
Regarding OC with Z87 what kind of performance boost are we looking at?
Also on the topic of OC should all components be over clocked at the same time or is it component specific.
I mean why do people overclock.? What is the end...
No Crossfire or SLI intended
No OC either
I have not yet decided on GPU so can be Radeon or NVidea
I will mostly go for the most bang for the buck unless I have compatiblty issues
Correction:
I meant Gaming PC vs Laptop
Update:
I am going ahead with a PC build
I have already ordered the I5 4670k
To Decide:
MoBo:AS Rock Z87 Pro3 or GA-Z87X-D3H[open to others]
RAM:Any DDR3[not decided]
HDD : Any
SSD : Any
CASE: Corsair 300R[again picking from the mid range sticky by...

Does Black Friday or Cyber Monday offer components at a reduced price as compared to today? I am asking about the expensive components like GPU,CPU, SSD etc

Hello All,
I am in a dilemma between a Gaming PC or a Gaming Desktop.
I understand that a debate between a Gaming PC and a Gaming Desktop would be endless.
My query is more specifically between the configuration of the below mentioned rigs ONLY.
