Looks like it's sitting on a pad. Maybe rubber.

Look at the left side corner it looks like touching the carpet. Not to mention what happens when he touches the board after rubbing his borom socks against the cat fur carpet repeatedly.. He has no chassis to ground himself to for starters.

I would hope that you could ground yourself on the case of the PSU...though you never know. :uhoh As I read on the other forum, it's a decent quality one, though.

Either you have non-static special full carpeting or you like to live dangerously..  :lol

the latter.  :devil

On a second look if that power supply has bottom or top ventilation you're also in for a serious fire hazard dood.

rear fan only with vents on all sides, none at top/bottom. i have extinguisher arms length away.  =P

i read otherwise, these PCP&C 750W "silencers" are the cheaper ones, not like the "quality" more expensive black-colored PCP&C turbo-cools.

I cant believe that skribetm could not win at minesweeper even with  his puter cranked up all the way to 4k.   :eek:  think its time for a new build :).

But the question is will it be any faster than an C2D E8500

"faster" is too vague a term. in superpi where it is highly FPU x87 arch intensive(and code is 15 years outdated), of course it is.
if we talk wprime, E8500 is slower (even when compared to quad cores only). it would depend on your application.

Let's talk about real world performance and games (1 core utilized..)

sure we can discuss per core performance and efficiency, as long as you're up to the task of compiling gnu-mp on a vendor-neutral opensource compiler (gcc).
otherwise, lets leave it at this: a smaller-engine ducati bike will get to its "top speed" of 215mph faster than an 8.0 litre W16, 64v DOHC quad-turbocharged Bugatti Veyron.

Lol what does gnu have to do with real world or especially gaming performance? :) It _is_ AH related discussion afterall.

Ok, *nix does have 0.8% market share granted.  :rolleyes:

i honestly cant tell if you're kidding or you're serious. it seems i'll have to start ignoring your posts, as they are half flame-baiting and half ridiculously uneducated.
in your "real world," yes *nix has 0.8% market share, and the only OS is microsoft, and the only game is AH2. unfortunately, you'll have to look out of your limited perception of reality to objectively evaluate the hardware you are using. ;)

please stop crapping in my thread.
