Newegg TV: Test Bed Testing, Core i7 980X Benchmarks

Newegg TV: Test Bed Testing, Core i7 980X Benchmarks Tube. Duration : 4.70 Mins.


www.newegg.com It's time to share some benchmarks for our new test bed -- and what better way to kick things off than with an Intel Core i7 980X CPU and two Radeon 5870 video cards in Crossfire? Overkill? - probably. Screaming fast? - definitely. While this kind of bleeding-edge CPU & GPU hardware is impractical for most builders, several of the "lesser" components in the rig did stand out - The Corsair 750HX PSU performed admirably and without problems, even with the maxed-out hardware load. - The ThermalTake Frio heatsink/fan kept idle temps around 32 C and load temps at 50-60 C. - Intel's 40GB X25-V SSD is a fantastic performance drive at an affordable price (for a SSD), particularly with two of them in RAID 0 as a boot drive. - Corsair's 800D chassis is remarkably full-featured and provides plenty of room to work. - Credits - Cameraman, Lighting & Sound: Paul Editing & Effects: Lam Music by 1Left -- myspace.com/1left
