Hey guys, new to the forum....Also, just finished building a new system, and I was wondering if my PcMark Vantage results looked good or not? If someone with some more experience than me could help me out, I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much guys.

Seems fine to me

I'd take down your email address - it's never a good idea to have it in plaintext on a forum. Crawlers and spam-bots will find it...

Your config looks good to me.

Please remove your email ID from your post.

I removed his email address - better to be safe

 

Oh and welcome to OCC

[sayphere]

Thanks for removing email, I forgot I put it in the vantage results box. Thanks for your help!

DO NOT OVERCLOCK IF YOUR COMPUTER IS IN WARRANTY IT WILL VOID IT !!!:nono::nono:

Hello Hai welcome to OVERCLOCKERS club where we like to OVERCLOCK.

 

Listen Hai, if your build a PC and you bought parts that were made for OVERCLOCKING such as an overclocking board and an overclocking cpu and an overclocking cooler and over clocking ram (see where this is going? ) then you should overclock.

 

I promise you it is fine as long as you aren't a complete idiot who tries to run like 7 volts through a cpu on a 4 ghz overclock. Will you void your warranty, not necessarily. I RMAed my i7 950 after running it on 4 GHZ for a while, and intel fixed it. As long as you don't blow your processor because of overclocking, you are more than likely going to be fine.

I think that funny post is being deleted already! But I can't stop laughing when I see this type of post in an overclock discussion forum. :rofl:
