Lousy Performance on my rig . .
A few weird things have happened since I put my rig together yesterday. Temps was one and now the rear fan on my Antec 550 Truepower has died . . I have tried it on another set up but nope. Its dead. .
And I just squeezed "4300" outta 3Dmark 03. I just give up . .
I did a fresh install, installed new 4 in 1's, new sata drivers, proper lan drivers and the new uguru tool from abit . .
Then the cats 4.8 omega's went in . .

Woah dude your comp is f**ked up badly... Did you check for faulty components cuz if ur ANTEC died, then it might be a bad 3dcard or sumthing... Do pcmark04 and make sure it's not ur CPU or sumthing.... Do tests on all your compenents checking them one by one

Have you run any other benches? Also have you installed the latest 4in1 chipset drivers? Goto Start/Run/Dxdiag/Display and see if all the DX features are enabled. Leave the mem timings on Auto for now until you figure this out.

Right. I formatted again, installed the new 4 in 1's . Havent install the included Athlon 64 processor drivers . . Do I need to? These aren't the beta's on viaarena, I guessed they were for windows 64. My score on PCMark 04 (just downloaded and registered) was 4879 . .
Is that any good? It looks ok on the online browser but you guys probably know better . .
If its easier to chat . . im on ironmysox@hotmail.com

Your PCMark score seems about right so it has to be something with the gfx card/drivers. Are you sure you're not benching with AA and/or AF enabled? Are all those things enabled in DXDIAG? Also do not install the A64 driver unless you want to use CoolnQuiet.

Well, what a let down. Scored 6900. What am I doing wrong? Gonna order an OCZ 520 watt psu tomorrow to replace the Antec. Is there anything about this set up I dont know? Been a P4 fella for a while . .
Edit: UT2004 plays on Max and so does Battlefield etc . .

20,000 yes... for 3Dmark01se
try installing that benchmark (older).. and running it... you should be able to get between 18,000 to 22,000 ... possibly higher as it's as a whole.... a entire system benchmark...

Its really weird. I have had my Antec Truepower 550 for just over a year and only yesterday I noticed that the rear fan has simply stopped. I have tried it on another mobo etc but nope. I have emailed Antec but have decided to get the OCZ anyway.

Glad to see you guys going for the OCZ PSU. It's certainly one of the best and most innovative on the market. The adjustable rails are a great feature.
